Tallies
A tally is a signal sent from the production workflow to the camera indicating that the camera is ‘live’. This normally displays as a red or green light on the camera to show the presenter that the camera is live and in the camera viewfinder to alert the camera operator. These signals are connected to the DB9 connector (SIGNALLING) on the rear of the receiver. When the tally signal is activated, a red or green (or both) bar appears on the receiver’s screen. This signal is also passed on to the camera via the camera control link.
From the main menu, select Settings, then select Tallies and configure according to your requirements.
