Tally light system
Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2018 5:20 pm
We have recently upgraded our live High School TV Studio switcher from a Datavideo SE-800 to the Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio Pro HD.
I would like some assistance in order to get camera tally lights for our new setup.
In our old Tally light setup we did the following:
DATAVIDEO SE-800 - via RS232 cable to - RMC-140 (Tally/Preview Box) - to - TD-1 (on-camera tally light mounted to Panasonic cameras).
What are our options when it comes to getting on-camera tally lights with the ATEM Television Studio Pro HD?
We are using new Canon XA15 cameras. I am okay with buying new equipment (besides cameras) to get this to work. If we can still use the TD-1 on-camera tally lights that would be a plus.
I see that there is a unit we may need to purchase, the Blackmagic Design GPI & Tally Interface for ATEM Production Switchers (MFR # SWTALGPI8) but I am still unsure what we would need to purchase after buying this item in order to use on-camera tally lights.
If there is a way for the Blackmagic Design GPI & Tally Interface to communicate with the Datavideo RMC-140 (Tally/Preview Box) then that would be great.
Thank you all for any help you can give,
Alan
