Smart Tally

IP-Based Tally Light for Broadcast and Live Production

Smart Tally - new way of tally management with a fully IP-based solution that works anywhere on your network - from studio to remote locations worldwide. No additional equipment needed, PoE power, and support for major broadcast protocols.

Network-Anywhere Deployment

Smart Tally is fully IP-based, meaning 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. Simply connect to your network, and you're ready to go - making Smart Tally one of the fastest and easiest tally solutions to deploy in any broadcast environment.

Global Remote Production Capability

Smart Tally - the only tally light that can reliably operate in remote productions without geographical boundaries. Whether you're broadcasting from a distant location or managing a distributed production across multiple continents, Smart Tally maintains rock-solid connections via standard VPN or through SKAARHOJ's secure Sky-Tunnel integration. This makes it perfect for remote events, international productions, and hybrid workflows where talent and production control are miles apart -yet need to stay perfectly in sync.

Fiber-Ready Integration

Camera systems using fiber optic connections no longer need separate cable runs to power tally lights. Smart Tally is fully compatible with popular fiber converters, allowing it to work seamlessly alongside your existing camera fiber infrastructure. This eliminates the hassle of running additional ethernet cables when your camera already has a fiber connection, keeping your setup cleaner and your workflow simpler.

Cue Light Solution for Theater & Performance

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, making it ideal for live theater and other performance art venues where reliable cueing is essential.

Versatile AV & Corporate Applications

Beyond broadcast and theater, Smart Tally 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, Smart Tally brings broadcast-grade tally management to corporate AV environments and institutional settings where clear visual communication is paramount.

Extensive Protocol Support

Smart Tally supports all the essential protocols: ATEM, TSL, vMIX, TCP, and HTTP out of the box. If you need additional protocols supported by the broader SKAARHOJ ecosystem, simply add a Blue Pill Server or integrate a Blue Pill Inside panel to expand its functionality. This flexibility ensures Smart Tally works with virtually any system where automated tally light indication is required.

Automation or Manual Control

Smart tally allows you to work in many different ways. You can utilise the extensive list of supported protocols for automated tally display. Combine it with a Blue Pill device and utilise Reactor to build your own automations - great if you want to have full control over the light cues. No other tally system offers such an extensive flexibility!
