The Smart Tally Light from SKAARHOJ is an IP-based, independent tally light designed for live broadcast applications. It features full Link I/O support and an IP-based control system with PoE support, so you can run the compact tally light over a single cable. It mounts on top of a camera or onto a cage via a standard shoe adapter. The light features a bright RGB design with front and rear multi-color LEDs and simple label slots for clearly identifying your equipment, such as Camera 1, Camera 2, etc.
Deployment Anywhere
Since Smart Tally is fully IP-based, it can be deployed anywhere within your local or virtual network without converters, adapters, or additional infrastructure. It works seamlessly across Layer 3 networks and draws power directly from PoE, eliminating the need for separate power cables or converters. It is set up via an HTTP browser-based system and supports control via SKAARHOJ Raw Panel, TSL 3.1/5.0, or via an HTTP API.
Remote Production
The Smart Tally light can reliably operate in remote productions, whether you're broadcasting from a separate location or across multiple continents. It can maintain solid connections via standard VPN or through SKAARHOJ's secure Sky-Tunnel integration. This remote capability is ideal for remote events, international productions, and hybrid workflows where talent and production control are miles apart.
Theater and Performance Applications
Smart Tally can serve as an elegant cue light solution for theatrical productions, allowing directors and performers to receive clear visual signals without disrupting the performance. The bright, dimmable RGB light ensures perfect visibility from any angle on stage or in performance spaces where reliable cueing is essential.
AV and Corporate Applications
Beyond broadcast and theater, the Smart Tally light can function as a professional status light in auditoriums, conference rooms, government buildings, and event spaces. Whether indicating recording status, active speaker, or equipment availability, it can bring broadcast-grade tally management to corporate AV environments and institutional settings.
