Hollyland Tally Converter – Universal TALLY Signal Converter for Cameras, Monitors and Playback Equipment

The Hollyland Tally Converter receives TALLY signals from a switching station and converts them into visible indications for cameras, playback equipment and monitors. It links wireless HD video transmission systems or wireless intercom systems with mainstream switchers, helping production crews see which source is live and which camera should prepare to go on-air.

What the Tally Converter does
