SKAARHOJ Tally Box Ethernet tally interface for up to 8 lamps

SKAARHOJ Tally Box

The SKAARHOJ Tally Box is a simple yet powerful external tally lamp system for broadcast, live production and AV. It gives clear visual identification of the active cameras or speakers and supports universal and proprietary Ethernet tally protocols such as TSL, Blackmagic, Sony, TriCaster and more. Up to 8 SKAARHOJ Tally Lights can be wired to the Ethernet-based Tally Box, each over a single Cat cable that carries both signal and power, in star or daisy-chain topology (up to 3 lamps per chain).

Setup is straightforward: connect the Tally Box to the same local network as the production system, plug in the lamps, specify the IP address and you are ready. It is ideal for mixed-brand systems that use different protocols, or when the tally lights built into cameras are too small or hidden, for example by a teleprompter. Older systems without IP tally can be connected through the SKAARHOJ ETH-GPI Link, which converts GPIO contacts to Ethernet. The lamps can also be triggered manually from SKAARHOJ hardware buttons, e.g. to mark the active speaker in a meeting.
