Router Interface Settings (Router Menu) In this system, the interface with a router (routing switcher) uses the S-Bus protocol. It is therefore necessary to assign inputs and outputs of the switcher and so on to an S-Bus space. To carry out this assignment, use the Router/Tally >Router menu. The assignment is common to the parallel and serial tallies.
Compact (128 × 128): Assign the switcher S-Bus space at compact size. It is not possible to assign all switcher inputs and outputs to the S-Bus space, but the S-Bus space can be used efficiently. Turn the knobs to set the parameters for the following items. Source: Specify the start address of the matrix source.

Tally Group Settings (Group Tally Menu) With the S-Bus protocol, tally control is possible for groups 1 to 8, but in this system you can use either groups 1 to 4 or groups 5 to 8. You can also select whether or not to transfer the tally information over the S- Bus.
Wiring Settings (Wiring Menu) When configuring a system in which the switcher inputs and outputs are connected to a router, setting this connection configuration (referred to as "wiring") in the S-Bus space, or inputting the information which specifies the physical wiring, is necessary. To make the wiring settings, use the Router/Tally >Wiring menu.
Source Level: Specify the source level for the wiring configuration. Knob Parameter Adjustment Setting values Source (From) Source start address 1 to 1024 Source (Level) Source level 1 to 8 Press [Execute]. This makes the wiring setting according to the specifications in steps 2 and Changing the Wiring Settings In the Router/Tally >Wiring menu, press [Modify].

Make the parallel port settings for output of tally information pertaining to sources and destinations. For each of the tally output terminal numbers, specify the tally type, and source address or destination level and address.
Dest: Return a tally to the destination outputting the source to which a source tally is returned. Set the destination address and level. The level setting is only required when in step 4 you selected Destination. Knob Parameter Adjustment Setting values Address Destination address 1 to 1024...
