Broadcast Electronics Unveils Cuelite Tally Interface

Broadcast Electronics has unveiled the news Cuelite tally interface.

The interface takes control of the integrated cue lights on compatible camcorders, where the camcorders are used in live, multi-camera production. The device is driven by a mixer tally output which illuminates the cue lights when the camera is live. This includes the lights in the viewfinder.

Cuelite is also compatible with system cameras including 'box' type cameras, and can control both the red cue and green preview lights without the need for a CCU.

Record status is displayed on the interface and on supported remote control panels, while a key feature of the system is the ability to connect individual Cuelites together to synchronise recording on multiple camcorders, and simplifying the process of managing recording media.

The compact Cuelite interface works by injecting tally and record commands into the data path between the camcorder and remote control panel. It supports common mixer tally signal and can be used to extend data cabling range to hundreds of meters using twisted-pair cabling. The interface can also be used with popular fibre optic camera back accessories.

In addition, Cuelite can be used to remotely control the onboard recorder of a camcorder.
