==The magic remapping trick==

At power-on, the system should default to each vision mixer input channel, 1-4 mapping to tally channels 1-4. A computer can connect using a serial link at 9600 baud to the control unit. Using [[YVP_Protocol|YVP Protocol]] the computer can remap which vision mixer input each tally output follows. Ideally, this should be handled by the software controlling the mux that feeds the vision mixer, so that when a command is sent to the mux to assign a camera to a vision mixer channel, the corresponding command also goes to the tally system. At the time of writing, the only known example of this is the OB Director Control software used for Woodstock 2012, which might be in the Software drive, and is definitely in the YSTV Git repository. The software running on the control unit microcontroller is also with this OB Director software.
