Tally Interface Devices &Timer Systems

K-Frame Switchers

By default, in XEdit, Tally 1 corresponds to the K-Frame switcher’s output 1 (which
typically carries the Program signal), and Tally 2 corresponds to the K-Frame switcher’s
output 5 (typically the Preview signal).

11 On the File menu, click Save.

This establishes communication between the multiviewer and the switcher. On the
touch screen menu panel (or in K-Frame Menu) you may notice that the status
indicators turned green in the Tally Ports menu, and your multiviewer is now listed in
the Tally Clients list.

Assigning K-Frame tallies and input names to logical sources

The K-Frame contribution tally protocol provides information on up to 192 inputs, up to 96
outputs, the full set of fixed sources internal to the K-Frame system, and up to 2 complete
operator suites. In XEdit’s Channels/Sources tab, configure logical sources using input
names and system tallies from the K-Frame. You will find these elements by expanding the
filtered system list that appears in the Tools pane.

• For every input, 6 tallies, and 2 text labels (the engineering name and the OLED name)

are available. When the OLED name is not defined for an input, both text labels contain
the engineering name. A tally status indicates whether the input contributes to the
output associated with the tally (see

step 10

, under

Establishing communication

between the K-Frame switcher and the multiviewer

, on page 440). For example, if

Tally 1 has been configured to match Output 1, then the Tally 1 status of an input
indicates whether this input contributes to Output 1.

• For every physical output of the K-Frame, the (static) name of the output is available.
