Throughout this manual the TSI-3000 Tally System Interface is also referred to as the TSI or the TSIs when referring to both TSI-3000s in a redundant system. The TSI- 3000ACO Auto Change-Over is also referred to as the ACO.
TSI-3000 Tally System Interface and TSI-3000ACO Auto Change-Over units. This information in this section is intended to assist the user in understanding the functioning of a tally control system and the role of a TSI-3000 in it. 1.2 Tally Control System Overview The Image Video tally control system is an essential component of broadcast and production environments.
• Monitor tally system from PC with on-screen display of multiple monitor walls The Image Video Tally System quickly identifies originating sources carried to any point in your signal switching system. It traces a signal's path through various types of routing and processing equipment including routing switchers, production switchers, and master control switchers.
One power supply is standard and a second supply can be added for increased device reliability. For increased system reliability the TSI can be paired with another TSI-3000 and a TSI- 3000ACO Auto Change-Over for redundant controller operation.
COM 6 Figure 3: TSI-3000ACO Front and Rear View The TSI-3000ACO selects the active controller in an Image Video Tally Control System with redundant TSI-3000s. It interfaces to both TSIs to monitor their operational state in order to determine the best controller to run the system. All serial I/O connections are routed through the ACO allowing the ACO to switch all serial I/O connections to the active TSI.

TSIs. 2.2 Mounting The TSI-3000 and the TSI-3000ACO units are intended to be mounted in a standard 19 inch rack. There are no special mounting requirements, however, it should be noted that any excessive direct light on the front of the unit can make the LCD and status LEDs difficult to distinguish.

Image Video Installation 2.6 Serial I/O Ports The TSI-3000 provides 11 independent serial I/O ports: one RS-232 serial port and ten RS-422/485 serial ports. These ports are used to control and monitor other serially connected devices in the tally control system.
TSI-3000 Tally System Interface Instruction Manual Image Video The 6P6C modular jack connector provides a convenient wiring interface to many Image Video products that also use a modular jack for serial I/O. These ports can also be used for any device that needs an RS-422 or RS-485 serial connection. Adapters are available to convert the port to a 9-pin ‘D’...
See the separate TSI-3000 system programming documentation for details. When the TSI-3000 has more than one Ethernet port the user must ensure the network matches the IP address configuration of the port it is attached to. In a system with redundant TSIs network connections must be made to both TSIs.
LTC CLOCK REF. connected tally displays. The TSI-3000 will read a play speed (x1 speed) SMPTE or EBU format linear time code signal. The TSI-3000 can also be programmed to read SMPTE 309M or Leitch format date information from the time code user bits. See the separate TSI-3000 system programming documentation for details.
Installation 2.11 Connector Clearance The 9-pin ‘D’ connectors spacing on the rear panel of the TSI-3000 and the TSI- 3000ACO may restrict the selection of the mating connector backshell. Most 9-pin D connector backshells are less than 0.65” (16.5 mm) high; however, sample parts should be evaluated prior to purchasing production quantities.

The TSI-3000 user interface panel is used to configure the basic setup of the TSI and monitor the operation of the TSI and the external devices connected to it.
The Escape button is used to go back to a previous menu level and to discard a data entry. On start-up the User Interface Panel displays its firmware version. The display will change to the main status screen after the TSI-3000 application software has loaded and started.
3.2.4 Communication Status Pages The communication status pages show status of the external devices programmed to communicate with the TSI-3000. There is one page with the summary of all devices and individual detail pages for each device. 3.2.4.1 Communication Summary Page The communication summary page gives the connectivity status of all the serial ports and any network connected devices.
3.2.4.3 Detailed Network Connectivity Page The detailed network connectivity page shows the programmed and operational details of the devices configured to communicate with the TSI-3000 with a network connection. This page is shown when a network configured device is selected in the communication summary page.
3.2.5 TSI-3000 Setup Page The TSI-3000 setup page shows the unit identification and network interface settings of the TSI-3000. This page is shown when the Setup button is selected from the main status screen. The Unit ID cell is the unique number assigned to a TSI or TSI redundancy pair to distinguish it in a tally control system with several TSIs.
Selecting the Save and Reboot button in the main menu bar will restore save any changes to the cell values and initiate a TSI-3000 reboot. A prompt is displayed after the Save and Reboot button is selected to confirm the user’s intent to save the new cells values and reboot the TSI.
TSI PS Figure 12: TSI PS Front View The TSI-3000 is powered by one or two TSI PS internal plug-in power supplies. The standard TSI is equipped with one power supply. For power supply redundancy an optional second power supply can be installed. With power supply redundancy both supplies share the load equally;...
3.5.1 TSI-3000ACO Operational Mode The TSI-3000ACO operates in one of three modes: automatic selection of the active TSI- 3000, manual selection of the ‘A’ TSI-3000, and manual selection of the ‘B’ TSI-3000. The operating mode is selected using the front panel rotary switch.
TSI-3000 Tally System Interface Instruction Manual Image Video LED Colour Condition Description Not ready No heartbeat signal is being received from the TSI. This problem is usually caused by the TSI being turned off or not connected to the ACO.

Image Video Configuration and Operation LED Colour Condition Description Power Source The external power source is connected to the ACO; however, there is no power from the source. The problem is usually caused by the power adapter being unplugged from the wall outlet.
To maintain a proper CPU operating temperature is it necessary to periodically open the TSI-3000 and clean out any dust or debris that may have accumulated on the fans or be restricting air flow. How often this needs to be done is dependent on the environment the TSI is operating in.
LED on the just inserted supply will illuminate to indicate it not providing power. 6. Install the 2 front panel screws to secure the power supply to the TSI-3000 frame. 7. Turn on the power switch and confirm the power LED illuminates and the fault LED goes off.
