TSL Tally Setup
The server can receive TSL messages from a downstream device to tally the channels on the server.
To Configure the TSL Tally Input
Tally information sent to the server over ethernet using the TSL protocol is used to show red and green tallies (as well as gray and amber) on the channel labels. You will need the IP address and port of the device sending the tally information, as well as the screen mapping.

- Server Configuration
  - Channel Setup
  - Video Formats
    Select the video format that the server is operating in, and the source of the reference signal.
  - Video Router Setup
    You can connect the server to an external router and control the sources feeding the server.
  - Audio Setup
    You can select the number of audio channels to record, which sources audio will use, and which audio channel to monitor from the analog audio out headphone jack. The number of AES digital audio inputs and outputs depends on the model of server you purchased. You can select the number of audio tracks to record, which sources audio will use, and which audio channel to monitor from the analog audio out headphone jack.
  - Audio Router Setup
    There are two integrated audio routers built into the server. An input router that sends audio from an audio input to any Media Player, and an output router that sends the audio from a Media Player to any audio output. The number of audio inputs and outputs depends on the options you have installed in your server.
  - Timecode Setup
    The selected timecode information that is recorded with the video can be overlaid on the output video stream of the server. This can be time of day linear timecode (LTC) coming into the server, or the embedded ancillary timecode (ATC) in the video stream being recorded.
  - Channel Label Setup
    You can assign a custom name to each output of a Media Player.
  - Quad Viewer Setup
    The Quad Viewer HD-BNC output displays the Quad Viewer.

To Configure the TSL Tally Input

Tally information sent to the server over ethernet using the TSL protocol is used to show red and green tallies (as well as gray and amber) on the channel labels. You will need the IP address and port of the device sending the tally information, as well as the screen mapping.

Launch the Kiva Config application.

You may be prompted to allow the program to make changes on the computer, click Yes.
Click the Tally tab.
In the Server Address field enter the IP address of the device that is sending the TSL tally information.
In the Server Port field enter the port number on the device that the server is listening to.
In the Server Connection Type area, select the type of ethernet communication you want to use.
- UDP — select if you connect to the tally system using the UDP protocol.
- TCP Server — select if you connect to the tally system as a server using the TCP protocol.
- TCP Client — select if the connect to the tally system as a client using the TCP protocol.
In the Tally Protocol area, select the TSL protocol the tally system is using.
- TSL UMD V5.0 — select if the tally server is using the TSL tally protocol v5.0.
- TSL UMD V3.1 — select if the tally server is using the TSL tally protocol v3.1.

Set up the tally interface as required:


Protocol	Settings
TSL v5.0
Tally Screen Number	Select which tally screen you want to assign to each channel transport.
Tally Index Number	Select a tally id for each channel transport.
TSL v3.1
Assign Preview Tally	Select which indicator is lit when a Media Player is tallied on preview.
Assign Preview Tally Color	Select the color to use when a Media Player is tallied on preview.
Tally Index Number	Enter the tally ID that is assigned on the tally server to the input on the server. Tip: Refer to the device that you are receiving the tally information from for the ID that is assigned to the video input that is connected to the output of each channel on the server.
