Wireless tally lamp for small & professional crews

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.
*1: Some switchers might require updating the software.
*: Please see the manual how to connect with switchers and FlexTally.

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.

*1: To connect with your video switchers, you need to set up using dedicated software provided by Cerevo or a specifically configured cable for GPIO connection. The cable should be created based on the tally output specifications of the video switcher you are using and the FlexTally’s tally input specifications. Specifications of the tally output may be different for each brand and switcher model. Supported OS for the dedicated software is Windows 10/8.1/7, Mac OS X is scheduled to be supported in the future.
