The Interface
The tally interface includes 8 optically isolated inputs and 4 solid-state relay outputs (also opti-
cally isolated). Tally devices you connect to inputs can trigger events — through the NV9640 —
in the router control system. The router control system can trigger events that — through the
relays in the NV9640 — switch your tally devices.
The DB25 connector, labeled "GPI Interface" at the rear of the NV9640 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.

When the input transitions off or transitions on, the NV9640 notifies the router control system,
which carries out the task defined for the input (if a task has been configured).
