Identification and Tally Settings
The Identify flag is transient, and will cause a white border to be displayed around the entire picture for
a duration of 15 seconds, after which it will be reset. This feature is primarily aimed at identifying which
monitor is currently being configured when it is mounted in a rack comprising multiple units. To turn on:
MONITOR A:↵
Identify: true↵
↵
The IDENTIFY border will temporarily override any other border setting in effect.
The BORDER property can be used to programmatically set the soft Tally colored borders to one of the
primary colors: RED, GREEN, BLUE, WHITE or NONE. This setting can be overridden by the electrical Tally
signals at the DB-9 input on the device itself. For example, to set the soft Tally to green:
MONITOR B:↵
Identify: green↵
↵
To query the current border/tally setting, send an empty MONITOR block, which will return the full state. If
the hardware Tally is in effect, its value will override the soft Tally setting. The actual border value in effect
is always returned:
MONITOR B:↵
Brightness: 255↵
Contrast: 127↵
Saturation: 127↵
Identify: false↵
Border: none↵
