Non-Sync Detection
You can disable the detection and reporting of
non-synchronized video sources. Non-synchronised video
sources are either not properly timed, or use a different
reference format than the one the switcher is operating
in.
The non-sync detection can be set for individual video
sources, or can be turned all on or all off.
Refer to Non-Sync Status on page 89 for information on
reading the non-sync status of a source.

1. Press HOME > Setup > Installation > Source
Configuration > BNC Configuration.
2. In the Non-Sync Detection area select whether
to apply non-sync detection to all input BNCs (All
On) or to none of the input BNCs (All Off).
3. Press HOME > Confirm.

Tallies and Contact Closures
Tallies and contact closures are simple open collectors
(tallies) or relays (contact closures) that the switcher uses
to signal other devices, and users, that a particular video
source is on-air. Typically, tallies are used to light a red
light on a camera to show people that they are on-air and
what camera they should be looking at.
You can only assign a single source to a tally/contact
closure, but you can assign multiple tallies/contact
closures to the same source.
To Assign a Tally/Contact Closure to an Input
1. Press HOME > Setup > Installation > Source
Configuration > Tally.
2. Press Panel Tallies, Frame Tallies, or Contact
Closures to select which tally port or contact
closure you want to set up.
3. Use the Panel Tallies, Frame Tallies, or
Contact Closures knob to select the tally or
contact closure you want to assign to a video source.
If you are assigning a frame tally or contact closure,
the number is preceded by the slot that the Reference
with Tally board is installed in.
4. Use the Source knob to select the input source that
you want to assign the tally or contact closure to.
