Cerevo FlexTally Overview

The Cerevo FlexTally is designed to provide a simple-to-operate multi-camera tally solution for small studios and beyond. An included station unit connects to a Cerevo LiveWedge or third-party switcher (see more below) over Ethernet or GPIO, and four lamp units connect to your cameras via tally outputs and work wirelessly from up to 328' away from the station unit. The station unit is AC-powered and the lamps have built-in batteries that run from 6-12 hours depending on brightness. Without any software required, you can change the assigned lamp ID and other settings via a function button on the station unit.

The station unit has an Ethernet port and 15-pin tally input, and the station unit and lamps each have an RS-485 terminal. The lamps provide a 1/4"-20 thread on the bottom for mounting on stands or directly to a camera via an optional shoe mount adapter. The FlexTally supports up to 16 lamps in total (up to eight when working over GPIO). A future firmware update is expected that will allow support for 32 lamps.

Cerevo FlexTally Reviews

Good tally system for ATEM integration

By Jeffrey
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2024-01-12

This tally system has been a good addition to my multi-cam kit. Pairs well with ATEM switchers and once you figure out initial setup, it's quick and easy to deploy. So far (three shoots in), everything has worked flawlessly. You'll need to add some labeling for the power and brightness buttons on each tally light along with numbers for each unit, and also add some magic arms (or equivalent) for mounting to cameras.

Great system

Bought this to use with a multi-cam set-up at church. It works great after you get the additional supplies. Each Tally Light is wireless but needs to be charged. It takes 2 hours minimum to charge them but there are no chargers included in the package. You have to use the AC plug for the base unit. I purchased some chargers and they are working great. Another thing that I didn't like was the inclosed manual. It is useless. Go the the Cerevo website for detailed set-up instructions. 5 stars for the way it works. Minus 1 star for not chargers and bad instructions.
