Cerevo Flex Tally

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.

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.

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.

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.
