TR-3200A

Tally Data Router

The TR-3200A Tally router is used in conjunction with a video or audio router. It routes tally inputs from, for example, a vision mixer and processes them according to the current settings of the main signal router. The Tally router provides up to 32 tally outputs to feed tally or cue lights on cameras, called reverse tally, or Under Monitor Displays (UMDs), called forward tally. The TR-3200A supports serial tallies from a number of vision mixers.

Configuration: The TR-3200A is housed in a 1RU frame.

Four 16 input ports are used to read up to 64 tally inputs. They are processed by software in conjunction with the current matrix settings to provide 32 tally outputs to feed camera tally or cue lights using relay contacts; two wires are provided for each relay to ensure electrical isolation from the outside world and between individual relays.

Control: TR-3200A includes, as standard, an internal Frame Controller module which supports a single Q-Link and Serial port on the rear of the router. The optional internal CI module can be fitted to the TR-3200A to increase the number of Q-Link and Serial ports.

The TR-3200A has a number of control options, they are:

Local Control Panels: The CP-1600A-LP, can be fitted to the TR-3200A.

Passive Remote Control Panels: The CP-1601A-P and CP-1604-P passive remote control panels can be fitted to the TR-3200A router via a PI-1604 or PI-1608 parallel to interface.

Remote Control Panel: Any panel(s) from the entire range of Quartz remote control panels can be used with the TR-3200A router connected via Q-Link.

External third party control: The TR-3200A router can be remotely controlled via an external third party control device, such as an automation system, when connected to the routers serial port.

Expansion: Two TR-3200A Tally routers can be used together to form a 64x64 tally router by looping the mixer tallies to both units.

Power Supply: The power supplies for the TR-3200A is internal.A redundant power supply can not be fitted to the TR-3200A.
