Bus Tally Indicators

A source that is selected on the AUX, Program and Preset buses will have
tally indicators which show the status of the source. The tally status is indi-
cated by the illumination color of the button. These tally colors will change
depending upon the transition status and effect status of the control panel.
All selected sources will be tallied in one of the following colors:

Red

Sources that are illuminated in red are sources that are currently contrib-
uting to Program (On Air) content (these sources may change on the next
transition). Multiple sources on the Program bus for background video,
keyers and audio mix overs may be on air simultaneously. In addition, a
source on the AUX bus may also be tallied red if a DVE effect is active.

Note

No sources selected on the Preset bus (background video, keyers or audio
mix overs) will ever tally red. By definition, sources on the Preset bus are not
on air, they may merely be selected to go on-air on the next transition.

Yellow

Sources illuminated in yellow are sources that are preset to go on air and
will be contributing to Program (On Air) content after the next transition.
Multiple sources on the Preset bus for background video, keyers and audio
mix overs may be on air simultaneously. In addition, a source on the AUX
bus may also be tallied yellow if a DVE effect is active for the next transi-
tion.

Note

No sources on the Program bus (background video, keyers or audio mix
overs) will ever tally yellow as, by definition, sources on the Program bus are
on air and will be tallied red

Blue

Sources illuminated in blue will not be changed in the next transition. If a
source on the AUX, Program or Preset bus is blue, this is an indication that
that the transition or effect settings active on the panel will prevent that
source from going on or off air. Its present status will be maintained at the
next transition.
