The Interface
The tally interface includes 8 optically isolated inputs and 4 solid-state relay outputs (also
optically isolated). Tally devices you connect to inputs can trigger events
—
through the
NV9641
—
in the router control system. The router control system can trigger events that
—
through the relays in the NV9641
—
switch your tally devices.
The DB25 connector, labeled “GPI Interface” at the rear of the NV9641 presents the tally
signals. There are 8 input signals and 4 pairs of output signals.

Input
The tally inputs expect contact closure to ground, through the ground pins on the
connector, to trigger a GPI input event.
