Carbonite Ultra - Separate On Air Tally Lights for ME P/P and ME 1

  • 1.  Carbonite Ultra - Separate On Air Tally Lights for ME P/P and ME 1

    Posted 04-11-2025 15:17

    Hello, 
    Our cameras support R,G,Y Tally and we would like to use our Carbonite Ultra to output regular red tally for these cameras on ME P/P and output a separate tally output (yellow) for when these inputs are selected on ME 1 (no ME 1 PRV tally). Is this possible natively in the Carbonite or would this require something else, and what is the best way to set it up?

    Our setup has 3 cameras that we are looking to do this for. We are running Carbonite Ultra in HD - 4 Key with a TD2.

    Thanks for your help!

    You will need to use an external Tally Controller for this.  We can only define tally for On air or On Preview.  However the hardware can be controlled via TSL UMD v5 protocol to link the Tally / GPO pins directly to a tally system control and any of the 6 bits.
