Tally Light Control
Tally Light Control (HOME > MORE > TALLY LIGHT)
The Assign Tally Light menu provides the capability of choosing a video output where any
CameraMan camera input that is switched to that output has it’s tally light turned on
automatically. Generally this output is either the broadcast output, or, in certain configurations,
an output that has a VTR connected to it.
Remember that outputs can be grouped. The broadcast output could be grouped to
one of the other outputs, possibly for a VTR. In this manner, a single signal can be
simultaneously broadcast and recorded.
To assign the tally light output:
1. Choose one of the three outputs (only one tally light output can be selected).
2. Press the Function Command Button for that output. The box for that output will be
shaded, showing that it has been selected.
Any camera input switched to the selected tally output will have its tally light turned on and all
other camera tally lights on the network will be off.
If you choose NONE, then any tally light that is currently on will be turned off. It can
then be turned back on by activating the contact closure input to the tally light box
on that camera.
Your CameraMan CONTROL Center comes equipped with a tally light controller, allowing your talent to know which camera is live
at any given time.
