Streamline Your Live Production with Flawless Tally Cues
In the high-stakes environment of live production, clear communication is the key to a flawless broadcast. The Blackmagic Design GPI and Tally Interface is the definitive solution for adding a professional, reliable tally system to your ATEM switcher workflow. Eliminate on-set confusion and empower your entire crew—from camera operators to replay technicians—with instant, unambiguous visual confirmation of which camera is live. This essential device ensures that your talent always knows which lens to address and your technical team can execute cues with perfect timing, elevating the professionalism of any multi-camera production.
Engineered for seamless integration, the GPI and Tally Interface connects directly to your ATEM production switcher via a standard Ethernet connection, making setup remarkably simple. Out of the box, it provides eight contact closure tally outputs, allowing you to drive tally lights on a full array of cameras, replay machines, and on-set monitors. As your production needs grow, the system grows with you. Its scalable design allows you to chain multiple units together, effortlessly expanding your tally capabilities for even the most complex broadcast setups. This forward-thinking approach protects your investment and ensures your gear can adapt to future demands.
Beyond its core function, the unit is built with the robust reliability that professionals expect from Blackmagic Design. It features 8 opto-isolated inputs for connecting to other broadcast equipment and 8 relay contact closure outputs for maximum compatibility. Configuration and firmware updates are handled with ease through a high-speed USB 2.0 port, ensuring your interface always has the latest features. For production houses, houses of worship, and live event crews committed to excellence, the GPI and Tally Interface is not just an accessory; it's a fundamental component for a coordinated, error-free, and professional on-air presence.
