Configuring the Multiviewer
For your multiviewer to receive tally status, source names and output names from a
Kayenne switcher, and to display the switcher’s contribution on the monitor wall as visual
tally and dynamic text information, you need to configure your multiviewer’s Kayenne
serial tally service, by performing the following tasks in XEdit:
• set up the communication parameters for the serial connection;
• configure logical sources by assigning input names, output names, and tally status
from the switcher to the logical sources’ text or alarm levels;
• assign alarm and text levels from logical sources to layout elements such as UMDs or
alarm monitors.
