    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.
  • Page 6: Tsi-3000 Tally System Interface Overview

    • 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.

    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.
