DIY ATEM TALLY EXTREME SYSTEM
The DIY ATEM TALLY EXTREME SYSTEM consists of any number of TALLY MODULES that
monitor the camera selections on Blackmagic Design ATEM video switchers. These modules use
the popular Sony style NP batteries for power and connect to your ATEM via WiFi. Only module
number 1 connects to the ATEM and all subsequent modules then listen to the module before it.
This means that the entire system uses only one of the 5 available web connections on the
ATEM. This frees up these other connections for things like a Hyperdeck, separate computers
running the ATEM software control for operations such as graphics and audio, and for another
computer running the Bitfocus Companion for the Elgato Streamdeck.

DIY ATEM TALLY EXTREME POWER RELAY
MODULE
The Power Relay Module plugs into a wall outlet. One set of outlets is always on.
The other outlets are controlled by the status of a Tally Module. When the Tally
Module is in Preview mode the Preview outlet is turned on. When the Tally
Module in in Program mode the Program outlet is turned on. These two outlets
are isolated electrically buy using opto-isolated relays. The Power Relay Module
can be several thousands of feet away from the controlling Tally Module but
connected with ethernet or TRRS cable. The max power available in total from
the Power Relay module is 1200 watts.

REMOTE LED
Learn how to build and connect the REMOTE LED
to the Tally Module. The RemoteLED can be
controlled thousands of feet away from the Tally
Module using TRRS or ethernet cabling. Place the
Remote LED anywhere that will help the camera
operator see his or her cues. The photo to the left
shows the Remote LED mounted on the top of an
external camera monitor with the Tally Module
mounted off to the left of the camera.
“STAND BY” AND “ON AIR” LED
LIGHTS
Build your own “Stand By”” and “On Air” notification
lights using green and red LED bulbs. These lights are
eight and a half inches in diameter and use standard
household colored LED bulbs that draw only three and a
half watts each. They plug into the DIY ATEM TALLY
EXTREME POWER RELAY MODULE. The “Stand By”
light plugs into the Preview socket and the “On Air” light
plugs into the Program outlet. Ethernet or TRRS cable
connects the Tally Module to the Power Relay Module
which can be thousands of feet away.
DIY ATEM TALLY EXTREME RELAY
MODULE
The Relay Module is powered by a NP style battery. The terminal blocks
are connected to internal opto-isolated relays and their status is
determined by a connected Tally Module. When the Tally Module is in
Preview mode the Preview relay is turned on. When the Tally Module in in
Program mode the Program relay is turned on. The Relay Module can be
several thousands of feet away from the controlling Tally Module but
connected with ethernet or TRRS cable. Both sets of terminal blocks
provide common, normally open and normally closed contacts. The max
current the relays can handle is 10 amps. The Relay Module is useful for
controlling sound effects, lighting or other events that need triggering.
