9.4 TSL Support
9.4.1 TSL Protocol Tally Settings
TSL protocols are used widely throughout the industry for communication between a TSL
Tally controller and Under Monitor Displays (UMD’s). The protocol enables tally lamp control
and text label data to be carried to each UMD device.
A TSL Tally controller handles the tally data in a video system and provides TSL Tally control
information to each UMD.
The MV-805 IP Multiviewer supports two TSL protocols: TSL 3.1 and TSL 5.0.
Setting up the multiviewer to work with a TSL tally-based system involves the following steps:
•
Specify how the multiviewer gets the TSL Tally message information.
•
Specify index parameters for each UMD on the video wall.
9.4.2 Specifying Multiviewer TSL Tally Mode
The multiviewer may get its TSL Tally information in one of two modes:
a)
Server Mode
- MV-805 listens for Tally messages.
Specify the MV-805 IP address and control network port to receive Tally
messages on.
b)
Client Mode
- MV-805 reads Tally messages from a Tally controller.
Specify the IP address and control network port number of the Tally controller.
The SAM RollCall Control Panel application is used to configure the settings for a MV-805
multiviewer in the RollCall TSL template; see section 6.4 “TSL Template” on page 64.
