Free Tally Light Software version 1.3

Tally Light Software - display tally lights for active sources or scenes in OBS

I have created a free tally light solution that is compatible with OBS (and other sources). It is designed to let you configure multiple incoming tally sources like OBS or a video switcher (ATEM, Carbonite, etc.), and aggregate them together. You can view tally output on a browser, phone, or tablet, and you can use blink(1) USB lights on a Pi Zero for tally over Wifi. It also supports GPO output, contact closure relays, etc. In order to work with OBS, it requires the websocket plugin.

josephdadams updated Tally Light Software with a new update entry:

Version 1.3 now available

This version supports sending tally data to a cloud server, feedback/control with Bitfocus Companion, and a new tally output type. Read more here: https://techministry.blog/2020/08/1...deck-and-tally-output-on-an-m5stickc-arduino/

Hey Joseph, very cool project! I love how cross-platform you have made it. I think it is awesome that you have open-sourced your project. Have you seen a lot of interest and use for your software so far?

I designed and built something similar for my own purposes using a closed-loop wired serial interface. I am considering open-sourcing my project as well. Here's a link to a demo of my tally light project in action.

I designed mine to be wired because I had conerns of Wi-Fi interference and latency. Have you seen good reliability over Wi-Fi?

Let me know if I can contribute in any way to your project, or if we can collaborate somehow.

Last week I was asked if there is a possibility for the speaker to check which camera is active... We use 2 PTZOptics Cameras (30x, NDI, latest model), controlled via obs. I found out that there is a possibility via VISCA Commands to use the LEDs from the camery as tally.
Tally OFF: 81 0A 02 02 03 FF
Tally BLINK: 81 0A 02 02 01 FF
Tally ON: 81 0A 02 02 02 FF

Can you add this output possibilty to your tally-plugin? That would be great :-) [I read the little description and could not find anything using VISCA/PTZCameras as output]

Thanks in advance,

Christian

Hi Joseph,
Thank you for your great project!
We are a cultural association and since Corona we have been doing many cultural events as live streams.
We use three cameras and OBS Studio. Now we are planning to buy a Datavideo ITC-100 which has two tally inputs (https://www.datavideo.com/us/product/ITC-100). The belt packs each have a two-colour tally light.
Do you have any experience in setting this up?
Thank you!
Cheers,
Carsten

Hi Matt!
Unfortunately your link says: " The requested file is no longer available!" :-(

Hi Carsten,

Please see my GitHub, I have a basic demo video there, plus all the source code and 3D files: https://github.com/mattv8/obs-wired-tally.

Here's my OBS forum project post: https://obsproject.com/forum/resour...-for-obs-arduino-rgb-leds-obs-websocket.1079/

Here's a video I quickly made illustrating how my tally lamps work by source rather than by scene in OBS: https://photos.app.goo.gl/kqT6DxCsHpvZyUQ76

Right now my project only supports OBS but I'm working on bringing in functionality with JosephAdam's TallyArbiter so it will work with a number of different sources. Stay tuned on that by keeping an eye on my GitHub or OBS forum post.

-Matt

josephdadams updated Tally Light Software with a new update entry:

Version 1.5 is now available

Many updates have been done since I last posted here about Version 1.3. You can find all the details at the Github link or at www.tallyarbiter.com

Some of the highlights of 1.4 and 1.5:

• New interface built with Bootstrap
• Improved support for Blackmagic ATEM
• The GUI has been revamped with all internal socket.io calls. The REST API still exists, but this will be more streamlined.
• A Generic TCP Device Action has been added: Now you...

CarstenFabian, Sorry for just now replying to this. I somehow got behind on these messages, and I apologize. I do recall seeing where someone integrated Tally Arbiter with their DataVideo ITC-100. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1572662719665042/permalink/2726468657617770

Hope this helps!

just installed and running perfectly as a node on OSX 10.15.7 but can't get it to install as a service. Followed the directions in the readme but it keeps coming back "permission denied" what am I missing? (sorry I'm horrible at this whole coding thing)

Re: Tally Arbiter v2.0

Is there any way to disable the Preview / Program swap in OBS when using studio mode? Or perhaps light the Program only?

Thanks in advance!
