Zodiak Production Switcher
A multiviewer can receive dynamic source names and tally information from a Grass Valley
Zodiak Digital Production Switcher. The procedures below describe how to set up a
multiviewer to interface with this family of production switchers.
Configuring the Zodiak Switcher
To establish a serial connection between the switcher and your multiviewer, you need to
identify the serial port you wish to use for tally contribution in the switcher’s Engineering
Setups, by using the Zodiak touch screen menu panel or the Zodiak Menu application. You
also need to configure or take note of the communications settings and use the same
values on the multiviewer’s side. The procedure below is an example using the default
values typically used on Grass Valley production switchers.
To set up the Zodiak switcher
1 Physically connect one end of an RJ-45 straight cable to the multiviewer’s RS-422 port.
