  • Page 13: Overview

    Tally Router OVERVIEW The TR-4800E Tally Router is an Ethernet-controlled interface for 32 General Purpose Inputs (GPIs) and 48 General Purpose Outputs (GPOs). It is the successor to the TR-3200E. All General Purpose I/O (GPIO) are provided on five, 37-pin D-Sub connectors on the back of the unit. A gigabit 1000baseT Ethernet connection is used to configure and control the unit.

The rear wet power binding posts are also moved to the front panel.

  • Page 15: Specifications

    TR-4800E Tally Router SPECIFICATIONS REAR GENERAL PURPOSE INPUTS Number of GPIs: Connectors: 2 x D-Subminiature DC-37 female sockets, each with 16 GPI Maximum Voltage: +/- 24 Volts DC Protection: Current limit, approximately 10mA – 15mA. Wet Power: Provided on +WET and –WET pins (isolated from chassis ground)

  • Page 16: Power Supplies

    TR-4800E Tally Router POWER SUPPLIES AC Voltage: Auto-ranging 100 - 240 Volts AC, 50/60Hz Protection: Line fuse and neutral fuse (T2AL250V) Power Factor: > 0.7 Redundant Supply: External +12V DC power supply provided (auto-ranging) Power Consumption Wet Power Off: 20 watts typical (Wet power “none” or “external”)

  • Page 17: Installation

    POWER CONNECTIONS The TR-4800E power supply has an IEC320 C14 AC power inlet. This combines a standard power inlet with a fuse holder and EMI line filter. The inlet is fused from the factory for 120V with two fuses rated for 2 amps (T2AL250V).

  • Page 18: Ethernet Connection

    Tally Router ETHERNET CONNECTION The TR-4800E is equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet port. It can be used with either 100base-TX (100 Mbps) or 1000base-T (1 Gbps) twisted pair Ethernet networks. Category 5e UTP cable or better is required with a maximum length of less than 100 meters (328 feet). The cable must be “straight through”...

  • Page 19: Serial Ports

    The Serial2 port is used for optional Quartz protocol control. Please see section 5.1 for a discussion on how the Quartz protocol is used in the context of the tally router. Refer to Evertz application note AN65 for more information about the Quartz protocol.

  • Page 20: General Purpose Inputs

    TR-4800E Tally Router GENERAL PURPOSE INPUTS There are 32 General Purpose Inputs (GPIs) available on two 37-pin D-Sub connectors on the rear on the tally router. These connectors are labelled “Inputs1 (1-16)” and “Inputs2 (17-32)”. The GPIs are “Wet” meaning they need external voltage to function. The GPI ports are used to read the tallies (GPOs) from products such as a vision mixer (production switcher).

  • Page 22: Output Ports

    “Output3 (33-48)”. The GPOs are “Dry” meaning no Wet voltage is present. The GPOs can be used to activate tally lights or send triggers to equipment such as the Evertz VIP multiviewers, switchers, and keyers. They can also be used to drive camera tally lamps. The pinout of these connectors are not all the same and care must be taken to use the correct wiring (see Table 2-8, Table 2-9, and Table 2-10).

  • Page 25: Wet Power

    Tally Router WET POWER The TR-4800E has a dedicated wet power source that can be used to provide voltage to GPIs and GPOs. This allows the GPIO to be either powered or unpowered depending on the requirements of the equipment that needs to be interfaced to (see section 2.7). This wet power source is provided to all of the rear 37-pin D-Sub connectors as +WET and –WET.

  • Page 26: General Purpose I/O Modes

    GENERAL PURPOSE I/O MODES The TR-4800E tally router is designed to have flexible General Purpose I/O to allow them to be used for a wide range of purposes from driving all types of equipment to illuminating lamps, and reading the state of switches.

  • Page 27: General Purpose Output Modes

    TR-4800E Tally Router 3.7.2 General Purpose Output Modes The default state of GPOs is “normally-open” mode with pulse mode disabled. When the GPO is off, the “A” and “B” contacts are open (normally-open). When the GPO is turned on, the contacts close.
