- Server Configuration
  - Channel Setup
  - Video Formats
    When working in 3G video formats, or outputting for UHDTV1, the available formats and number of channels depends on the hardware you have installed in your server.
  - 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.
  - 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 channel transport, and an output router that sends the audio from a channel transport 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 channel transport to help identify the server it is on or what it is used for.
  - Quad Viewer Setup
    The Quad Viewer output can display either the Quad Viewer or a Count Down display. For Quad Viewer display you can adjust the transparency of the overlay text on the Quad Viewer output.
  - 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.

- Remote Control Support
  Use the information in this section to assist you in setting up an external device to control your server.
- Maintenance
  Refer to the following information for performing maintenance on your server, muting an alarm, restoring factory defaults, or upgrading the software.
- AsRun Log Creator
  The server keeps a log of stills and clips that have been played in their entirety on all channel of the server. This information can then be filtered and output into either a CSV file or a PDF report.

TSL Tally Setup

The server can receive TSL messages from a downstream device to tally the channels on the server.

For example, when a production switcher takes the Channel A source from the server on-air, the switcher sends a signal back to the server telling it that Channel A is on-air and should be tallied.

Note: Tally information is shown on the Channel Label of a channel in Mira Explorer and the Quad Viewer output. You must have a Channel Label assigned to the channel for the tally information for that channel to be displayed (refer to Channel Label Setup). The Channel Label overlay must be visible on the Quad Viewer output for the tally information to be visible (refer to Quad Viewer Display).

The tally status is shown using the color of the background of the Channel Label.

Gray — the channel is not on program or preview.
Red — the channel is on program.
Green — the channel is on preview.
Amber — the channel is being recorded by a downstream device.

Note: TSL tally colors are set by how the protocol was implemented in the source device and may not be as listed above. Check with the device that is sending the TSL information to the server for information on how the protocol was implemented.
