Production Switchers

Question is the same as my subject title.

I have a Carbonite Black Solo and Carbonite Black. Would like to trigger the tally from one mixer to another. Is it possible?

Hi Yaohan, yes this is possible!

This link shows how to do it: http://help.rossvideo.com/carbonite-device/Topics/Devices/UMD/TSL.html

Assuming you will like the CB Solo to send tally to the Carbonite Black. Go to Device Config of the CB Solo, and set up a 'SerialTally' device which points to the IP address of the Carbonite Black, port 5272. Further instructions in above link.

The Carbonite Black is already listening for tally information on port 5727. No setup required for this part. However, you will need to go to Input Configuration and assign TSL address to the inputs. Red box in image below.

Now, refer back to the above link for the TSL ID mapping for CB Solo. (*Note that the mapping differs for different Carbonite frames.)

- for CB Solo: Input 1-9 has ID 1-9.

So now, when Input 1 is on-air on the CB Solo, it will trigger TSL ID #1 on the Carbonite Black, which in my above screenshot is Cam2.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the fast reply!

I'll try it out!

Hi Aaron,

Can I confirm the port as 5272 or 5727, as you listed both.

And do I use UDP or TCP?

Hi Yaohan, sorry for the typo. It should be 5727. If you go to the 'Configuration' page, then 'System' tab, the TSL port number is shown there. Together with the incoming port for RossTalk '7788'.

Use TCP.
