Configuring the Command Server

When a clip title is displayed, only the rightmost eight characters show up in an 8-character display,
so if the clip’s title is longer than 8 characters it will be truncated. Generally the rightmost
characters will be more unique, making it easier to identify the clip. There is no indication when a
clip’s title is truncated.
For 16-character displays, the number of characters is determined by whether the duration is shown
and the length of that duration. For instance, you could see 10 characters of either the clip’s title or
video ID followed by a space and the duration in an mm:ss format, as shown in the following
example: p-politics 01:32
If the clip’s duration is longer than an hour, the duration will appear as hh:mm:ss, and the clip’s title
or ID will be truncated to eight characters.
7. For every under monitor display you want to operate, click Add UMD Device to add a new row
to the table from which you can then edit the information in each column. Each device is
assigned its own device number; that is, the Device column is filled out automatically, starting
with one (1), and is not used in the service’s configuration.
8. The Channel Index lets you associate a device with a device channel index in Command. Options
in this drop-down list include numerical values of one (1) through 16. The channel index, which
corresponds to a playout channel, is set in Command’s System Setting dialog box under the
Channel > Indices category. You can access that dialog box by clicking Tools > System Settings.
n
Four columns shown in the previous graphic (Type, Hostname/IP, UMD Address, and Tally) relate to
the TSL plug-in. If an alternative third-party plug-in is used, what you see might vary.
9. Set the Type according to what kind of UMD device you are using. The Type column can be set
to one of three options:
t
Single 8 for 8-character display
t
Dual 8 Left for 16-character display, access leftmost 8 characters
t
Dual 8 Right for 16-character display, access rightmost 8 characters
t
Single 16 for 16-character display
10. The Hostname/IP column is most commonly set to tallyman, but can be an IP address instead of
the device’s hostname. The device service uses port 8900 by default; however, if a different port
needs to be specified, you can add it to the end of the hostname, such as tallyman:1001.
11. The UMD address can be set to numerical values of zero (0) through 126. When using TallyMan,
except for Dual 8 Left and Dual 8 Right types, which share an address, each UMD device should
have a unique address.
n
If you do not know the UMD address for your device, unplug and reconnect the Ethernet connection.
Watch the device’s display; it will show its UMD address as Addr plus a numerical value, such as:
Addr 001.
12. The Tally column is a drop-down list that relates to tally indicator control for Command. Its
options are: one (1) through two (2). UMD devices often have two tally indicator lights. If set to
one, Command will use the left light. If set to two, the right tally light is used. For TallyMan,
however, you will have to choose which light to use when you set up the TallyMan.
13. Click Apply. You can then close the Avid Service Configuration application.
n
You can reconfigure UMD devices without having to restart the device service.
