Tally

Your iPhone glows red when your camera is on air and green on preview.

With tally you always know at the camera whether you’re live – without looking at the multiview. The iPhone colors its edge red (on air) or green (preview).

Tally on: red frame, CAM3 is on air

Turn it on

  1. Open Settings → CAMERA OPERATOR TALLY and turn on Enable tally.
  2. Open the tally settings and choose two Companion buttons:
    • Programm / Direct Cut (rotes Tally) – the button that lights up when your camera is on air (the app shows this label in German).
    • Preview (grünes Tally) – the button that lights up when it’s on preview.
  3. Your camera’s name appears below, e.g. “CAM3”. It’s taken from the button text.
