4.DIP Functions
The dip switch of Tally box provides the following settings:
1.DIP SW 1-2
This switch is used to select the input interface.
when (SW1,SW2) is set to (1,1), GPIO input is selected.
when (SW1,SW2) is set to (1,0), USB-C input is selected.

6
2.DIP SW 3
This switch is used to select the input and output of the RS-485 interface.
When set to 1, RS-485 is selected as input, and when set to 0, RS-485 is selected as output.
The RS485 is configured as an output when a wired connection is required between the tally box and tally
lamp.
3.DIP SW 4
This switch is used to set the switch selection control between DIP and the PC software.
When set to 1, it works according to the current DIP configuration parameters; when set to 0, DIP
parameters are invalid and the built-in parameters configured by the PC software are used.
4.DIP SW 5
This switch is used to set the group of tally box.
When set to 1, group 1 is selected, and when set to 0, group 2 is selected.
Note: The transmitter and receiver of the same group should be set in the same cluster.
This function is used when more than one tally is needed to work at the same time on the same occasion
(within a 1km radius) to prevent the signals of different groups from interfering with each other. The
factory default is group 1. When the signal is not received, check whether the TX and RX group settings
are the same group. DIP can be configured for two groups, the software can be configured for up to 8
groups.
5.DIP SW 6
This switch is used to select the operating state of the USB-C interface.
When set to 1, USB-C interface is in working state, and when set to 0, USB-C interface is in configuration
state and used to connect to the computer to control the software configuration parameters.

7
The dip switches for the Tally lamp provide the following settings:
1.DIP1 SW 1-4
This switch is used to set the number of the Tally lamp. The channel corresponding to the Tally input.
2.DIP2 SW 1
This switch is used to set the connection type of tally lamp.
When SW1 is set to 1, tally lamp is wirelessly connected and lights up by receiving tally information from
the wireless transmitter of tally box, and when SW1 is set to 0, tally lamp is wired and lights up by RS485
connection to tally box.
3.DIP2 SW2
This switch is used to set the switch selection control between DIP and the PC software.
When set to 1, it works according to the current DIP configuration parameters; when set to 0, DIP
parameters are invalid and the built-in parameters configured by the PC software are used.
4.DIP2 SW3
This switch is used to set the group of tally lamp.
5.DIP2 SW4
This switch serves as a reserved key and has no function.

Vmix Connect TS3019：
Step 1: Configure Tally box and Tally lamp
Set the input of Tally box to USB-C (SW1:1, SW2:0). Set the Tally lamp to 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively.
Step 2: Use a USB A to C cable to connect the USB Type C port of the Tally box and the USB-A port of
the PC. Look at the Device Manager on the PC to check the status of the COM port connected to the Tally
box. The figure below shows COM3.
Step 3: Set up Vmix software
Open the Vmix setup, click Tally Lights and reset to default mode as shown below.
Users can increase PIN according to the actual number of Tally lamp. (For example, if you want to
connect 6 Tally lamps, you need to fill in PreviewPIN and ActivePIN in order from 2.3 of the lamp 1 to the
lamp 6 according to the rules, and then click to confirm), as shown in the following figure.

Step 4: Connection
Double click each input , click Tally Lights, select the COM port status , Tally Number select the Tally
lamp corresponding to the input source, and you can finish configuring the connection.
(The COM port status as shown below is COM3, Tally Number selects lamp 1, indicator 1 on Tally box
lights up, lamp 1 will also light up, that is, the connection.)
