Kalypso & Zodiak Contribution Tally Protocol

Source Names

Switcher source names are not really part of tally, but often provide valu-
able information to devices which utilize switcher tally information. Source
names are limited to twelve characters and each is sent in its own message
along with the source’s ID. Source names are not necessarily unique. That
is, two sources could have the same name.

The switcher supports an optional nickname for each source as well as the
full source name. Nicknames are a shortened version of the full source
name intended for displays with limited space. These are blank if unde-
fined in which case the full source name should be used.

The switcher supports the notion of aliasing source names, i.e., replacing
generic names for names more specific to the intended usage of the source.
When aliases are activated in suite preferences, the tally system reports
aliases. Otherwise, the contribution tally reports engineering source names.
The name set ID indicates which name set is being reported.
