For example, the communication command on the bus 20 is filtered like a mask, and if the data packet is sent to the current device, the cpu 30 controls 74ls373 to output a high level on the output pin, and controls the corresponding relay 31 to open and close, and the 3-core interface outputs a TTL level. The 3-core interface is connected with a Tally IN interface on the camera base station 4 to control the lighting and non-lighting of the indicator light of the camera base station 4.
Alternatively, the signal PVW may also be coupled to the Tally IN interface if it is desired to display three colors, red, green and yellow.
Further, by changing the logical address, the corresponding relationship between the second-type Tally lamp 6 and the signal source of the switching station 1 can be changed arbitrarily without changing the physical address. This functionality is highly desirable in everyday work for studio technicians.
Furthermore, the digital Tally system is used for respectively controlling the display states of the indicator lights of at least four camera base stations by adding the CSU control unit in the processes of virtual program production and multi-picture display, and is realized in a program mapping mode, so that the indicator lights of a plurality of camera base stations with the same mapping code can be simultaneously turned on, and further, which signal source is used by the current switching station is prompted, an operator can conveniently switch signals, and the probability of misoperation is reduced.
