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 thelive
(generates red tally) - Optional : configure which
output
is thepreview
(generates green tally)
Here is an example:
- I have 3 cameras :
cam A
(number 1),cam B
(number 2) andcam C
(number 3) cam A
is plugged oninput 1
cam B
is plugged oninput 2
cam C
is plugged oninput 5
RCP
is onoutput 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
orcam C
) is live - Generate a tally output to the corresponding camera when one of the camera (
cam A
,cam B
orcam 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 ared tally
on my camera1
GPI 2
will trigger ared tally
on my camera2
GPI 3
will trigger ared tally
on my camera3
GPI 4
will trigger ared tally
on my camera7
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

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 ared tally
on my camera2
GPI 5
will trigger agreen tally
on my camera2
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.
