The Interface
The tally interface includes 8 optically isolated inputs and 4 solid-state relay outputs (also
optically isolated). Tally devices you connect to inputs can trigger events — through the
NV9605 — in the router control system. The router control system can trigger events that —
through the relays in the NV9605 — switch your tally devices.
The DB25 connector, labeled "GPI Interface" at the rear of the NV9605 presents the tally
signals. There are 8 input signals and 4 pairs of output signals.

Input
The tally inputs expect contact closure to ground, through the ground pins on the
connector, to trigger a GPI input event.
