REMOTE SUBMENU
■ Pin 1 through Pin 8:
The RJ-45 Remote connector on the rear panel has 8
pins. Pin 5 is Ground, while the remaining 7 pins are
pulled high to 3.3VDC and may be used for Tally or
other Remote Commands. A list of available Commands
and Tally configurations can be found in the REMOTE
section of the Menu Overview section of this manual.
The command or Tally is activated by connecting the
corresponding Pin (1-4 and 6-8) to Pin 5 (Ground).
Event Triggers:
Two types of events are allowed.
 The falling event is when you pull down to ground, and the rising event is when you remove the
ground and the pin returns to the normal high state.
 Falling events occur only once and on the event of power up sequence.
o This means a falling event will occur only once regardless of whether its pin is
repeatedly grounded such as when selecting an input source.
 The rising event can only occur once a pin has been pulled down to ground to activate the
command such as turning on a tally and then releasing ground (open circuit) to turn off.
 Priority
o The Lower pin numbers have higher priorities over higher pin numbers during the power
up sequence.
Tally System
The Tally System can be used in a non-separated mode and separated mode.
 Non-Separated Mode
o Supports R/G/B tallies.
o Can mix any channels. FOR EXAMPLE: Mix Red and Green for Amber.
o Cannot mix R/G/B for White (It will be pink due to white balance).
o Cannot be assigned with separated tallies.
 Left/Right Separated Mode
o Supports R/G/B tallies on each Left and Right.
o Can mix any channels for each Left and Right.
o Cannot mix R/G/B for White (It will be pink due to white balance).
o Cannot be assigned with non-separated tallies.
SDI STATUS SUBMENU
The SDI submenu shows the SDI Error Count,
allows you to Reset the counter and sets up
how you would like to display the SDI Error
counter. The Choices are OFF – ON – AUTO.
The SDI Error Counter will count the following
types of errors.
• Line-based CRC error
• Line number error
• TRS error
• EDH CRC error
• ANC data checksum error
An error count of more than 1 could be considered as abnormal. There is no particular scale to the
number of errors counted. The max number of errors displayed is 9999. For example assume that there
is a problem with a source and it is outputting a SDI signal with invalid CRC for each line. The Orchid
Error counter will result in a count of 9999 within 9 frames (150ms). However, if the source is not bad
and the Error counter occasionally counts up these are mostly caused by poor connections or bad SDI
cables.
