TR3200E Tally Data Router
Revision 1.0 Page -1
1 OVERVIEW
The TR-3200E Tally router is used in conjunction with MAGNUM-TALLY. It receives tally inputs from a
device, such as a vision mixer, and provides this information to MAGNUM-TALLY which then
processes the information. The information can then be used by MAGNUM-TALLY to provide tally
information to cameras, Under Monitor Displays (UMDs), switchers, etc.
The TR-3200E Tally router provides up to 64 tally inputs and up to 32 tally outputs.
Features:
•64 tally inputs
•32 tally outputs
•Housed in a 1RU frame

2 INSTALLATION
The Tally router is designed to fit into standard 19” equipment racks. It can be mounted at any angle.
Rack-mount flanges (or ears) are vulnerable to damage so these are packed separately for protection
and must be removed from the accessory kit and fitted to the sides of the unit with the screws supplied
in the kit.
Installation in a 19” rack is simple. Guide the unit through the aperture in the front of the rack until the
rack-mounting flanges are flush against the side member of the rack and bolt in place with fixing
screws (not supplied).
Behind the unit you should allow for a depth of 170mm plus provision for the connection of external
cables.
2.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The chassis ground pin of the 25 way D-type connectors is connected to the earth of the power plug
and the metalwork. Use mating connectors with tin plating and metal hoods to maintain earth continuity
and RFI shielding. Also connect the shield of the control cable to the ground pin for RFI shielding.
Note that the connectors and their hoods must not exceed 17mm width. Some designs are wider than
this and will not fit correctly the rear of the unit if both rows are used.
2.2 INPUT PORTS
These ports are used to read the tallies from, say, the vision mixer (production switcher) and use
standard 25 way D-type socket connectors.
1. The mixer tally output will usually be an isolated circuit i.e. a relay. The receiver circuit in the Tally
router has its own logic pull-up so there should be no need for extra interface circuitry.
Nevertheless some small amount of power is made available for special purposes. Please take
note of the ratings below.
2. Connect one pin of the mixer tally to an input pin. Note that +0.8v is the permitted maximum value
of voltage for a valid low reading.
3. Connect the other pin of the mixer tally (or common) to the common 0 volts pin of the connector pin
24. This pin is connected to the technical ground within the Tally Router.

Revision 1.0 Page -3
The list below shows the pin connections of the D25 socket connectors on the rear of the unit.
2.3 OUTPUT PORTS
These ports are used to drive the camera tally lamps and use standard 25 way D-type socket
connectors.
1. The tally output is an isolated closing relay contact pair. The camera will normally provide the
power to drive its lamp. Nevertheless some small amount of power is made available for special
purposes. Please take note of the ratings below, as this unit is not able to provide sufficient current
to drive camera tally lamps.
2. Connect the contact pair to the pins shown below.
The list below shows the pin connections of the D25 socket connectors on the rear of the unit.

2.4 SETTING THE POWER LINE VOLTAGE
The voltage must be checked and if necessary set prior to inserting the power cord. The 230v setting is
suitable for both 220v and 240v countries. The 115v setting is suitable for 110v and 120v countries.
1. Remove the power cord.
2. Use a small screwdriver to ease loose the voltage selector/fuse holder by prising from above.
3. Pull out the fuse drawer. The main fuse is clearly visible, however, there is also a spare slid inside
the drawer. The fuse rating is shown on the serial number plate of the unit.
4. Rotate the drawer so that the correct power line voltage is orientated to be read (top of the text up)
with the top of the frame also facing upwards. Fit the correct fuse and replace the fuse holder
drawer until it snaps home.
5. Plug in the power cord into the equipment.
2.5 MAINTENANCE
First of all isolate the problem to the Tally Router. The +24v and +5v external supplies fed from the
Tally Input/Output Ports are protected from damage by quick blow fuses. If a fuse has blown it does
not affect the internal circuitry. Remove the front panel to reveal a red LED towards the right-hand side
of the unit. This will light only if either of the fuses has blown. The adjacent yellow LED indicates the
presence of the main +24v supply within the unit. Check and, if necessary, replace with a fuse of the
same type and rating (1A quickblow).

3 CONFIGURATION
3.1 SETTING THE IP ADDRESS
1. Open WinSetup 3.45 with a white ‘Quartz Serial Cable’ between the PC and the front DB-9 of
the unit.
2. Click ‘Options’ > ‘Communications’ to select the ‘Use Serial Communications’ pick the
appropriate Port for your PC, 38400, none, 8, 1
3. Click ‘System’ > ‘Ethernet Configuration’, and an IP Config window will open.
4. Query Router will print what the router IP is set to.
5. Fill in the IP, Subnet Mask and Gateway appropriately.
6. Update to send changes to the router.
7. An ‘Update’ window will appear to indicate a reboot is required. Click ‘OK’ and reboot the
router.
8. Once the router is booted ensure you can ping for 30 seconds.
3.1.1 The Quartz Serial Cable
The Quartz Serial cable is fitted with both a male and female connector. Please see Figure 3-1 for an
example of what the supplied “Quartz Serial Cable” looks like.
Figure 3-1: Quartz Serial Cable
If you are making your own cable then the interface cable needs a D9 socket at the PC end and a D9
plug at the router end. The cable must have the following connections.
PC D9 skt Quartz D9 plg
pin 3 (Tx) -----to----- pin 3 (Rx)
pin 2 (Rx) -----to----- pin 7 (Tx)
pin 5 (0v) -----to----- pin 6 (0v)
3.2 ROUTER CONFIGURATION
1. No router configuration is required from WinSetup or other means; this device has all
required functionality hard coded.
