Page 51: Tally Assignment
Tally Assignment Use this page to assign the text legend, font size and tally color to each front panel switch. TALLY OPERATING MODE Key Tally is the change of state of an LCD backlight or text on the face of a front panel switch.
Page 52 There are two tally configurations, one configuration for an ON tally and another configuration for an OFF tally. All tally configurations are done from the USP’s Tally Assignment web page. FOLLOW OPERATION The tally follows the state of the GPI, GPO, KEY, MEM, SEQ, or ENABLE KEY. When a tally is configured as “Follow GPI”, the tally will follow the state of an external device, like a downstream keyer, through an external GPI.
Page 53 GTP/DC EXTENDED TALLY OPERATION A tally can be controlled by multiple Combinatorial Logic events on a remote GTP-32/DC20. Each tally can be controlled by up to 5 different events. Each tally event name starts with ET_, followed by a Name field and a Status field. The Name field identifies the remote event as a member of a group of tallies on the USP.
Page 54 SELECTION DESCRIPTION Tally Source Remote Follow remote USP GPI or GPO- Tally is ON when remote GPI/GPO is ON Tally is OFF when remote GPI/GPO is OFF Follow GTP-32 or DC-20 Event Label Tally is ON when Event Label state is ON Tally is OFF when Event Label state is OFF Extended Follow GTP/DC- For use with “ET_”...
Page 55 SELECTION DESCRIPTION Manually enter, or cut & paste, the Event Label from the GTP-32’s or DC20’s Event Notification Table. The event label is case sensitive, may not contain Event Label spaces, and must exactly match the Event Notification Table entry. (Refer to the GTP-32 or DC20 User Manual.) Value Enter User Register value to match...
Page 56 4. Click in the OFF Text field and enter the text that will appear on the front panel switch face when the tally is off. Click in the ON Text field and enter the text that will appear on the front panel switch face when the tally is on. 5.
Page 57: Redundant Mode
Redundant Mode The redundant mode option allows an operator to monitor and control a Primary and Backup GTP-32 system from a single tactile panel. With a single button an operator can control Primary and Backup GTP panels and also monitor Primary and Backup GTP status.
Page 58 CONFIGURE MAIN/BACKUP FUNCTIONS The Redundant mode option provides special functions that allow an operator to turn ON/OFF redundant mode as well as select between a Main and Backup channel. Redundant Mode The redundant mode option in the Event Action Table page allows for an operator to toggle or turn ON/OFF the redundant mode functionality.
Page 59 Main-Backup Toggle Select Main Select Backup 3. Continue configuring the remainder of the Event Action Table line. 4. Click on the Save button to save changes. Changes will take effect immediately after saving Click on any other page button to exit without saving changes. The Examples below highlight the different configuration types available.
Page 60 CONFIGURE MAIN/BACKUP ACTIONS When configuring an action for a redundant pair in the Event Action Table only a single line needs to be created. Selecting either the Main or Backup channel as the Action destination would result in both Main and Backup panels receiving the same action. Since the Main and Backup channels are already considered a pair in the remote device assignmment page sending an event to both the Main and Backup would cause a double trigger to occur to both Main and Backup channels.

Page 65: Examples Sequences
Examples Sequences When the Sequence Timer’s event time expires, the associated ON Action will execute and then the timer for the sequence’s next entry in the Event Action Table will start. Upon receipt of a Sequence Start action, the timer for the Sequence’s first entry in the Event Action Table will start.
Page 66: Examples: Mem Flip Flop
Examples: MEM Flip Flop To setup a FLIP FLOP action the use of a MEM is required. A source events (GPI or Keypress) ON action will FLIP FLOP the action of two GPO’s. The selected MEM that is being toggled will need to be setup in following manner to trigger the FLIP FLOP action.
Page 67: Examples: Mem Radio Group
Examples: MEM Radio Group To setup a MEM based RADIO GROUP TALLY the use of MEMs is required. First a MEM/s will need to be assigned to a Radio Group (RG1 – RG6) A source events (GPI, Keypress or Serial Event) ON action will turn ON the MEM/s associated with the Radio Group.
Page 68: Examples: Gpo Momentary Radio Group
Examples: GPO Momentary Radio Group To setup a GPO Momentary Radio Group the use of MEMs is required. First, in the GPO actions page set the operating mode of each GPO you will be using to “momentary” and set the desired momentary on-time. Next, in the MEM Configuration page assign a MEM to each GPO that you will be using for your Radio Group.
