Configuring Tally Devices

  1. From the View menu, select Tally.
  2. Click the Tally Devices tab.

  3. From the Tally Devices tab, select the devices you want to be part of the configuration. This might be a switcher, a router and a GPIO box, for example. On the Tally Levels page, you add the tally levels you care about. (for example, “On Air,” or “Standby,” etc.) On the Tally tab, you’ll see a matrix of outputs and inputs.

  4. On the output section, down the left-hand-side, find the output that represents your different tally levels. For example, on my Virtual Switcher, you might set the “Output” output to “On Air.”
  5. Click on the little up arrow, and you get a window where you define the tally level for that output:

  6. At the bottom of the window, you can set which tally level is being displayed in the UI:

    With that set, the inputs and outputs which are On Air, now turn red:media/image25.png

    Depending on how you’ve done your cabling setup, you should be able to follow the red tally indicator all the way back to your original source. In the example below, you can see that the CAM-5 source on my router is on the air.media/image26.png
