LED to indicate that the corresponding input is selected.
NOTES:
Only the HCT 103 has tally output ports.
•
Input selection and tally feedback behavior cannot be changed: the contact closure
•
and tally ports cannot be configured using GC software.
Input selection via contact closure has the same priority as input selection from the
•
front panel.
When an input is selected, the corresponding tally port is set to logic low, allowing
•
voltage to pass through that tally output pin, providing power for an indicator LED. If
the tally port is connected to an Extron Show Me cable, the LED in the cable lights.
Show Me cables are available only as part of an Extron TeamWork kit.
