Installation
Mounting the Tally Opto Sensor
WARNING! Before attempting to install or adjust
accessories, the tilt axis of the head support must be
securely locked horizontally (tilt axis).
The tally opto sensor (SNSR) is fitted over the tally light on the camera
and connected to the prompter monitor. This allows the monitor’s tally
light, or the tally function on the ClockPlus and TallyPlus, to replicate
the operation of the camera tally.
1. Pull the mating Velcro ring from the base of the tally opto sensor.
2. Peel the adhesive backing from the Velcro ring and fit it firmly
around the tally indicator light on the camera.
3. Press the tally opto
sensor firmly onto the
Velcro ring to secure it
in position over the tally
indicator light.

Installation
Mounting the TallyPlus
WARNING! Before attempting to install or adjust
accessories, the tilt axis of the head support must be
securely locked horizontally (tilt axis).
The TallyPlus can be mounted to the prompter monitor or a compatible
hood, depending on the requirements of the installation.
Monitor Mounting
Before the TallyPlus can be mounted to a monitor, the supplied wing
plate must be fitted to the rear of the TallyPlus with the two countersink
screws.
Monitor Mounting - LED TFT and LED 8
The TallyPlus is mounted to the front of the monitor over the existing
tally light. The built in opto sensor on the rear of the TallyPlus can then
capture and replicate the status of the hidden tally light.
1. Align the fixing thumbscrews on the wing plate with the holes
either side of the tally light on the monitor.
2. Tighten the two fixing
thumb screws to
secure the TallyPlus in
position.

Page 12
Installation
Monitor Mounting - ELP15
The TallyPlus is mounted to the front of the ELP15 monitor. Unlike the
other LED monitors, this monitor does not have a tally light, and
therefore the built-in opto sensor on the TallyPlus will not function.
1. Align the fixing thumbscrews on the wing plate with the holes on
the front of the monitor.
2. Tighten the two fixing
thumb screws to
secure the TallyPlus in
position.
Hood Mounting
1.
If fitted, remove the wing
plate from the TallyPlus by
unscrewing the two
countersink screws.
2. Fit the mounting bracket to the rear of the TallyPlus using the two
fixing screws provided. The mounting bracket can be fitted to the
lower set of mounting holes to increase the height of the TallyPlus
above the hood.

Installation
3. Fit the TallyPlus to the hood, aligning the fixing holes in the
brackets and securing with the two fixing screws provided.
Mounting the ClockPlus
WARNING! Before attempting to install or adjust
accessories, the tilt axis of the head support must be
securely locked horizontally (tilt axis).
The ClockPlus is mounted over the tally light on the front of the
prompter monitor.
1. With the spacer plate in between, align the fixing thumbscrews on
the ClockPlus with the holes either side of the tally light on the
monitor. Ensure that the centre hole in the plate is correctly
aligned with the built-in opto sensor aperture.

Installation
2. Tighten the two fixing thumb screws to secure the ClockPlus in
position.
Tally Connections
The TallyPlus and ClockPlus can provide tally indication using many
different connection configurations, depending on the requirements of
the installation.
The tally indication signal can be sourced from:
• The monitor (looped through from an external tally opto sensor)
• An external tally opto sensor directly
• An accessory (looped through or sourced from the TallyPlus to the
ClockPlus, for example)
• The accessory internal opto sensor
• Alternative connection methods to suit the requirements of the
installation
Tally Opto Sensor Monitor Connections
The tally opto sensor can be connected directly to a monitor to control
the built-in tally light, and also provide a loop-through signal facility to
control the tally indication on the TallyPlus and the ClockPlus.
Connecting to the Monitor - LED-TFT

Connecting to the Monitor - LED-8
Directly Connecting the Opto Sensor
The tally opto sensor can be connected directly to the TallyPlus or the
ClockPlus. This is particularly useful if only one accessory is being used
in the prompter installation.

Installation
Connecting the Tally Signal from the Monitor
If the tally opto sensor is connected directly to the monitor, the tally
indication signal is looped through the monitor* and can be connected
to either the TallyPlus or the ClockPlus. The TallyPlus also has a tally
loop through function, providing additional flexibility.

Using the Internal Opto Sensor
If the TallyPlus or ClockPlus are mounted over the tally light on the front
of the monitor, the internal opto sensor can be used to provide tally
indication.
The internal opto sensor is automatically disabled if a
connector is inserted into the opto sensor socket on the
TallyPlus or ClockPlus, and also the tally input socket on
the ClockPlus.

Installation
Alternative Tally Connections
The tally indication status of the TallyPlus and ClockPlus can be
controlled by alternative control connection methods, if this is a
requirement of the installation.
Shorting Plug for Constant Red Display
If a permanent red display is required on the
ClockPlus or the TallyPlus, insert a shorting
3.5mm mono jack plug into the Tally Opto
Sensor IN socket.
Switch Control Cable
The tally colour status change can be controlled
manually by inserting a switching cable (ground
loop) into the Tally Opto Sensor IN socket. An
operator in the control room, for example, could
then change the tally status when required.
Logic Control Connection
On the ClockPlus, a connection can be made to
the Tally Input socket to feed in a logic level
controlled tally signal. This could be sourced
from a tally control system already in use in the
studio.
Power Connections
TallyPlus Power Connections
Two lengths of cable are provided to connect DC power to the TallyPlus

Timecode Connections (ClockPlus)
Studio sourced timecode can be connected to the ClockPlus using
either LTC (Longitudinal Time Code) or VITC (Vertical Interval Time
Code).
LTC and VITC can be connected to the ClockPlus at the
same time and selected during configuration. The
timecode cables can be connected or disconnected whilst
the unit is powered.

Configuration
Adjusting the Opto Sensor Sensitivity
(TallyPlus and ClockPlus)
The sensor trim control adjusts the threshold at which the opto sensor
(internal or external) causes the tally indication to change colour.
Turning the control clockwise lowers the threshold at which the unit
switches from green to red, effectively increasing the sensitivity of the
opto sensor.
If the tally status colour change is NOT required, the colour
can be set to a permanent green display by turning the
sensor trim control fully anti-clockwise.
Adjusting the Display Brightness (TallyPlus
and ClockPlus)
The brightness of the LED display digits can be adjusted with the BRI
switch. Two brightness levels are available.
Standard brightness
High brightness

Changing the Camera Number (TallyPlus)
The camera number displayed on the TallyPlus can be changed with
the NUMBER switch. Any number can be displayed in the range 0 to 9.
Changing the Clock Display Format (ClockPlus)
The format of the clock display can be changed with the 12/24 switch.
The 12 hour clock display format provides AM/PM indication.

Operation
Tally Function Operation (TallyPlus and
ClockPlus)
The tally indication on the TallyPlus and ClockPlus is represented by
the colour of the display digits changing between green and red.
Depending on how the system has been configured, the tally indication
change can be sourced from either the camera or monitor tally light, a
switch, or a logic control signal.

Timecode Operation (ClockPlus)
The ClockPlus can display SMPTE/EBU station timecode when
connected to a suitable LTC or VITC source. When a timecode source
is connected the clock will instantly set itself to the input time.

Maintenance
Routine Maintenance
The on-camera prompter accessories require minimal routine
maintenance, apart from checking the connections and overall
operation periodically.
Routine checks
During use, check the following:
• Check cables for signs of wear or damage. Replace as necessary.
• Check that all cables are connected properly.
Cleaning
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Disconnect and isolate
the product from the power supply before cleaning.
During normal use the only cleaning required should be a regular wipe
over with a dry, lint-free cloth. Dirt accumulated during storage or
periods of disuse may be removed with a vacuum cleaner. Particular
attention should be paid to all connection ports on the ClockPlus and
the TallyPlus.
22

Fault Check Comments
The accessory is not
powering up.
The tally indication
(ClockPlus or
TallyPlus) is not
changing colour status.
Timecode is not being
displayed on the
