Tally Input Configuration

Overview

Cyanview products have built-in tally routing capabilities.

Tally input:

• Probel IP (VSM, etc.)
• ATEM
• TSL
• GPI (RCP/NIO)

Tally input

Probel IP

If you're using VSM, first configure it properly following this guide

• Link your camera to corresponding inputs
• Optional: link your RCP to an auxiliary output
• Configure which output is the live (generates red tally)
• Optional : configure which output is the preview (generates green tally)

Here is an example:

• I have 3 cameras : cam A (number 1), cam B (number 2) and cam C (number 3)
• cam A is plugged on input 1
• cam B is plugged on input 2
• cam C is plugged on input 5
• RCP is on output 8
• Tally red is based on output 6
• Tally green is based on output 7

This will:

• Link the input of the corresponding camera with the outout 8 each time the camera is changed on the RCP
• Generate a tally output to the corresponding camera when one of the camera (cam A, cam B or cam C) is live
• Generate a tally output to the corresponding camera when one of the camera (cam A, cam B or cam C) is in preview

ATEM

First, configure your ATEM properly following this guide

Same concept as Probel/VSM setup described above

TSL

TSL is active by default

The RCP acts as a server, thus you need to add the RCP IP in your TSL manager (switcher, etc.). The key to link TSL configuration and RCP configuration is the camera number. Camera number must match your TSL configuration.

If you click on it, you can change the default configuration:

• Active: to enable/disable the TSL server of the RCP
• Version: to change the version, 3.0 or 5.0
• Transport: to change the transport layer, UDP or TCP
• Port: the port on which the RCP listen
• Synchronise Labels: if you want to sync the labels of your RCP configuration from the TSL configuration. If you click on Once, will be a once shot. If you check it, will keep synchronized.

GPI

Two use cases:

• If your GPIs are close to the RCP, you can connect CY-CBL-JACK-GPIO8 on your RCP
• If you want GPIO over ethernet/WiFi/4G, you can use a NIO

To setup:

• Open the GPIO page of the RCP.

• Associate the GPIO Inputs with your camera. Select Red Tally and click the cell at the intersection of the GPI row and CAMERA column.

In this example:

• GPI 1 will trigger a red tally on my camera 1
• GPI 2 will trigger a red tally on my camera 2
• GPI 3 will trigger a red tally on my camera 3
• GPI 4 will trigger a red tally on my camera 7

You can also control the input polarity:

• Set the input level (H-L) according to your wiring
• Click on L to toggle between H and L

note

The CY-CBL-JACK-GPIO8 pins are default high. Select (L) to activate Tally at low polarity, and (H) for high polarity.

Green tally is configured the same way:

In this example:

• GPI 2 will trigger a red tally on my camera 2
• GPI 5 will trigger a green tally on my camera 2

Tally status

In the RCP Web UI, the tally status is visible in the Configuration page.

On RCP screen, the camera name background displays the tally color.
