This menu is used to select either the tally groups 1 to 4 or the tally groups 5 to 8 shall be used by as
many as the four tally groups at the maximum.
The S-Bus tally can be enabled or disabled as required.
In the video switching systems, there are many occasions that two or more independent jobs are carried
out within the same switching system.
For example, recording of the on-air program by VTR or by slow motion VTR while on-air is under way
or distributing the on-air program to the local network stations while on-air is under way is performed.
As the result, sophisticated tally system is required in order to correspond to the sophisticated output
system.
If a video switching system becomes sophisticated, the tally system that aims at attracting attention of
operators can become the cause of confusion on the other hand. In order to avoid this confusion, the entire
tally system can be divided into the two systems. After the entire tally system is divided into the two
systems, one tally system can be, for example, assigned to the on-air tally while the other tally system can
be assigned to the off-air live tally. The two colors of red and green can be used for the display of each
tally system.
Each combination of red tally and green tally as described above is called tally group.
The S-Bus protocol is capable of controlling the eight tally groups (system tally red/green tally) of the
tally groups 1 to 8.
The MVS-8000 is capable of controlling the four tally groups.
The S-Bus tally is required to be set when the tally information supplied from the MVS-8000 is going to
be sent to the equipment for example UMD (Under Monitor Display) that indicates tally, via the S-BUS.
