2 Enter your multiviewer’s IP address in one of the two tally ports, and then touch the
Enable button for the selected port.
The connection status indicator turns red, since the connection has yet to be
established on the multiviewer side.
Assuming the required sources and outputs have been defined, this completes the
configuration required on the switcher. The multiviewer system will be able to send
commands to the switcher, and the switcher will respond accordingly. Refer to your
switcher’s Installation and Service Manual for more information.

Configuring the Multiviewer
For your multiviewer to receive tally status, and source names from a K-Frame 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 K-Frame tally service, by performing
the following tasks in XEdit:
• set up the communication parameters;
• configure logical sources by assigning source 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.
Establishing communication between the K-Frame switcher and the multiviewer
To set up the multiviewer’s communication parameters
1 Open XEdit.
2 In the main window, click the System tab, and then click Description/Calibrations on
the second-level tab bar. The main pane displays the System hierarchical list, and the
Tools pane displays the equipment library when the root of the System list is selected.
3 Drag the K-Frame switcher device from the equipment library onto the root of the
System hierarchical list. Alternatively, right-click the list root, and then click Insert
K-Frame on the menu.
A window appears, prompting you for a device identifier.
