Operation Instructions:
- Wireless Tally Connection (Video Switcher): Connect the tally box GPIO to the video switcher. The tally box wirelessly transmits signals to multiple tally lamps.
- Wireless Tally Connection (vMix): Connect the tally box via USB to a PC running vMix. Configure the tally box input to USB-C (SW1:1, SW2:0). Use the Device Manager to identify the COM port. In vMix settings, configure Tally Lights, setting PreviewPIN and ActivePIN for each lamp. Double-click each input in vMix, select Tally Lights, choose the COM port, and assign the Tally Number corresponding to the input source.
- Wired Tally Connection: Connect the tally box GPIO to the video switcher. The tally box connects to the tally lamp via RS-485.
- Remote Serial Control (PTZ Camera): The tally box can connect to a PTZ controller via RS-485/RS-232 and transmit control signals to a PTZ camera via RS-485, with a tally lamp also connected to the RS-485 line.
Maintenance Features
- Safety Precautions:
- Avoid placing the unit on unstable surfaces to prevent falling or damage.
- Operate only on the specified supply voltage.
- Disconnect power by pulling the connector, not the cable.
- Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the power cord; regularly check for wear or damage to prevent fire/electrical shock.
- Do not operate in hazardous or explosive atmospheres.
- Avoid using near water or allowing liquids, metal pieces, or foreign materials to enter the unit.
- Handle with care during transit; use original packing materials or adequate alternatives.
- Do not remove covers, panels, or casing with power applied. Internal servicing should only be performed by qualified personnel.
- Turn off the unit and disconnect everything if an abnormality or malfunction occurs before moving.
- Documentation: Refer to the manual for the PVS0615U video switcher for comprehensive operation details. Keep the manual handy for future reference.
- Product Improvement: Specifications may change without notice due to continuous product improvement efforts.
