Installation
Mounting the Tally Opto Sensor
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.
WARNING! Before attempting to install or adjust
accessories, the tilt axis of the head support must be
securely locked horizontally (tilt axis).
