TLC-6 Tally Controller

The Tally Light Controller TLC-6 adds a sophisticated tally system to your Standard Def TriCaster or VT. Compatible with all standard def TriCaster models with 2.0 or higher software and VT[4] and above. The TLC – 6 in conjunction with our TL-2 (or TL-1, TL-XD) tally lights adds status and ‘talent’ tally lights to any camera.

Each of the six output channels gives you four LED outputs – Program (Live), Preview and Effects bus indicators plus an output for a separately controlled tally for the on camera ‘talent’. The Talent tally can be software selected to illuminate when the camera is on the program bus, the preview bus, the effects bus or any combination.

In addition to the LED outputs each channel also includes two contact closure outputs that can be connected to most camera CCUs for program and preview tally.

If you’re not using CCUs (which usually provide intercom connections) you can configure the TLC-6 to pass through intercom signals over the tally cable. The TLC-6 has an XLR connector to connect directly into your intercom system.

The controller also has two GPI outputs. The first provides a contact closure whenever the configured source is selected on the program (Live) bus. The second does the same for the Effects bus. You can use these outputs to trigger any GPI compatible outboard equipment.

The TLC-6 uses inexpensive RJ-45 (Ethernet type) cables to make it easy to build custom length cables with no solder skills required.

doubleSHOTZ – Double Box Sets

Six double box configurations in two different styles; each in twelve different colors along with eight motion backgrounds for a total of 144 individual sets.

Unlike the stock double boxes included with the TriCaster with doubleSHOTZ you have animated backgrounds – simply play the included loop-able backgrounds (or your own) in a DDR, feed it to the overlay (DSK) and get that high end network style look.

The package also includes eight Picture In Picture sets each with multiple different configurations. These are perfect for creating upstream overlays and over the shoulders.

DoubleShotz ships on a flash drive so you can plug it directly into the USB port on your TriCaster or VT[5] and install the LiveSets quickly and easily.

System requirements: Any Standard Def TriCaster with LiveSets (TriCaster Pro 2.0, TriCaster ProFX, TriCaster Studio, TriCaster Broadcast) or any VT[5] system with 800MHz or better Front Side Bus. Not compatible with the TCXD300 or TCXD850.
