Max amount of Tally’s #1

Seems to be an issue that if more than 5 Tally's are connected other tally's won't connect to the ATEM

grahamrobertslx commented 4 years ago

Actually this could be because of how many connections the ATEM will accept

It's a limitation by the Atem. But if you look at the beta release, I made the lights into a server as well, so that you can connect one to the switcher, and the rest to the first device. (You only need to update the main device, and put the ip of the main device into the switcher IP of the other devices.)

I have 8 made, I'll try the beta today and let you know how it works.

So just been testing it adding one by one to the first tally and it works well. Got to Tally 7 and it wouldn't initialise to the Node Tally. Work round was to use the IP of the desk on Tally 7 and use that as a second node to do tally 8. So I'd probably limit 6 tally's to a Node. All very good though!! Not really any latency issues. Good Work!!!

Apologies limit to 5 Tally's per node

AronHetLam commented 4 years ago

Interesting. In the code I set a limit of 20 - but it just might not be able to handle more than 5 then. - I still need to test this, which is why it's still in beta. You could also daisy chain them if you need the ATEM's connections for software control.

With the 5 connected to the 1 node it is very stable and didn't miss a beat once. Very good work!

It's now in included in release 2.0
