I’ve been following the instructions from the online documentation for the switcher to set up tally for cameras I have.

Press MENU \> Config \> NEXT \> Tally.

Press the Add knob.  
If you are editing, or deleting, an existing tally, use the Add knob to select the tally and press the Edit, or Delete, knob.

Use the Tally knob to select the tally or GPI output that you want to set up. This is the tally or GPI number, not the pin on the tally connector.

Note: A GPI must be set to tally mode before it can be used as a tally. Refer to [To Set Up a GPI Output](https://help.rossvideo.com/carbonite-02/Tasks/Setup/Comm/GPI-OutSetup.html#task.gpi-outsetup) for information in setting a GPI as a tally.

Use the Input knob to select the video source that you want to tally.

XX — video inputs 1-36

BK — black

NoSrc — no source

BG — matte generator

MX — Media​-Storechannel 1-4

Use the Output knob to select the bus that you want to video source tallied for. When the video source is selected on this bus, the tally is triggered.

OnAir — on-air

OnPrv — on preview

PGM — program bus

PV — preview bus

PGMX — program bus of ME X (if installed)

PRVX — preview bus of ME X (if installed)

CLNX — clean feed of ME X (if installed)

MinMEX — program bus of MiniME™ X

MMXPrv — preview bus of MiniME™ X

MultSX — program bus of MultiScreen X

MSXPrv — preview bus MultiScreen X

AuxX — program bus of aux bus X

Press the Tally knob.

I pick the tally (step3), then the source(step 4), and I want it to trigger on the program bus(step 5).

After I press the Tally Knob (from step 6) it just takes me out to the “Add New” menu and it does not remember anything I did. What am I missing here? Seems like there would be some way to save it? Any help you guys can give would be appreciated.

Scroll the Knob to see what the assignments are…The Click is saving the config that you just setup.

What Frame is this? Which Software version are you running on?
