Adding events and actions to primitives and objects
Adding a tally event
When devices, like the Imagestore 750, have tallies turned on, the device sends callbacks
when the state of a keyer or its properties change. Xpanel’s objects can be programmed to
report the status of a device or execute actions in response to a tally coming back from the
device.

Unlike standard and user events, tally events can only be added to objects, not to the panel.
To add a tally event to the panel’s Action Editor:
1.
Select the object that the tally event will be added to.
2. In the Action Editor, click the A DD TALLY EVENT button.
The A DD N EW T ALLY E VENT window appears.

3. Select the channel (or the channel selector) and the device(s) that will return tally
callbacks to Xpanel.

OTE
If you select two or more devices, Xpanel executes actions associated with the tally event
if any one of the devices returns an appropriate tally callback.
4. Select a tally event from the following expandable categories of tallies:
• T
ALLIES : Standard tally callbacks that represent changes to the state of the device.
• C OMMAND ARMED TALLIES : Tally callbacks that represent changes when armable
objects are set to an armed state.
• C OMMAND DISARMED TALLIES : Tally callbacks that represent changes when
armable objects are set to a disarmed state.

When a tally is selected, a brief description of the tally is provided in the T ALLY DESCRIPTION
section of the A DD N EW T ALLY E VENT window.
