TR-4800E
Tally Router
Revision 1.1 Page - 27
5 OPERATION
The TR-4800E is designed to be integrated into the MAGNUM unified control system. This requires the
addition of the MAGNUM-TALLY software option. This allows MAGNUM to interface with the TR-4800E
and provide an intuitive, visual, point-and-click web site interface for managing the tally inputs and
assigning actions to be performed when an input goes active. This can include, but is not limited to,
automatically triggering actions on one or more tally outputs.
5.1 QUARTZ REMOTE CONTROL PROTOCOL
A full discussion on the Quartz protocol is outside the scope of this document. Please refer to Evertz
application note AN65 for detail on the format of the Quartz protocol. The Quartz protocol control can
be done through the Serial2 port, or more commonly through a TCP/IP connection. The MAGNUM
control software uses Quartz protocol to integrate the tally inputs and outputs into a broader
infrastructure control system.
The Tally Router Quartz over IP port is 9676
The General Purpose Inputs are mapped to level “V”, destinations 1-32. The front panel binding posts
(+BP16 option) channels 1-16 are mapped to destinations 49-64. The tally router reports changes to
GPIs by sending “.U” update messages. For example, “.UV017,002” indicates that GPI 17 has been
activated. The message “.UV017,001” indicates that GPI 17 has been deactivated. The status of any
GPI can be queried by sending a Interrogate Destination message. The message “.IV005” will request
the status of GPI 5. The tally router will respond with a “.AV005,00X” message.
A source value of 1 means “Off”
A source value of 2 means “On”
The General Purpose Outputs are mapped to level “A”, destinations 1-48. The front panel binding posts
(+BP16 option) channels 1-16 are mapped to destinations 49-64. The GPOs can be turned on by
routing them to source 2. For example the command “.SA027,002” will turn on GPO 27. The
command “.SA027,001” with turn off GPO 27.
