Tally Port Pin Connections
It is not necessary to connect the tally port of SmartView and you can skip this section if you do not intend
to use the tally feature.
Each SmartView Duo screen features independent tally borders in red, green or blue which can be used to
indicate the status of a video signal such as on-air, preview or recording.
SmartView HD can also display a red, green or blue tally border.
The 9-pin D-sub tally port on SmartView accepts contact closure signals from switchers and automation
systems. Please refer to the accompanying SmartView tally pin connections diagram for information about
wiring the tally port for use with your switcher or automation system.
