Once the upper left icon turns green, click "Connect." 3) You can use vMix to control the Tally light after successfully connecting the Tally_tool. Note: Do not run multiple Tally_tool, or vMix will fail to connect. Check the taskbar to ensure only one Tally_tool is running.
9.2 Connect to the Switcher
Note: CE3 is only compatible with switchers that support vMix. 1) Follow the steps in "9.1 Connect to vMix" to connect the Tally light to vMix, then use a USB-C data transfer cable to connect the switcher to vMix. 2) Open VMix and click on "Settings". ① In the "Settings" window, click "Shortcuts" → "MIDI Settings".
