FlexTally is a tally lamp system designed for easy operability and is available at a price range that means even small studios or streaming sites can look to add it to their multi-camera set-ups. FlexTally can be used via either wireless or wired connections for added convenience and its built-in battery allows for portability and use in remote shooting locations.
An easy to set up all-in-one tally lamp system
FlexTally consists of a Station unit that connects to Cerevo's video switcher"LiveWedge" and four Lamp units that are attached to each camera. Each lamp illuminates automatically according to the LiveWedge switching operation. FlexTally is also compatible with other brands' switchers(*1), as well as LiveWedge switcher.
A special software is not required to change the setting
The station unit and the lamps setting can be set or change the assinged lamp ID by pressing Function Button on the station unit or the lamp unit. Because FlexTally does not require any special software so you have the freedom of changing the lamp unit setting on-site in case you want to use more or less lamps.
Can be used via either wireless or wired connection
The wireless connection uses the 433MHz band, which is resistant to obstacles and interference from other wireless signals, to achieve a communication distance of 100m or greater(*2), and also it is possible to daisy chain connections through terminal blocks. FlexTally can be used with cables several hundred meters in length without issue. A 6-hour battery is built into each Lamp unit so each one can operate completely wirelessly. Wired connections use a standard 2 pin cable, with terminal connectors for easy integration and compatibility.
