PTZOptics acquires TallyLights
Robotic camera manufacturer, PTZOptics, has announced the purchase of TallyLights. Through this acquisition, PTZOptics hopes to allow its customers better production environments and professional-quality content. The brand name for the acquired company will be TallyLights going forward.
Stephen Heywood, broadcast engineer for PTZOptics said: “Many multi-camera broadcast and streaming environments use cameras without built-in tally lights, or whose tally lights are too dim for talent to see. The TallyLights system gives operators fine control over the brightness of six talent-facing LED lights that can be added to any camera or monitor position. Even if cameras are mounted on the far wall or ceiling, talent always knows exactly where to look.”
“As a brand, TallyLights is completely aligned with our goal of helping our customers make the best possible use of their existing video ecosystems,” said Paul Richards, marketing director for PTZOptics. “Broadcast studios, houses of worship, event producers and more can instantly improve production by adding TallyLights into just about any system.”
As a PTZOptics company, TallyLights will have access to expanded product engineering, marketing, and technical support. TallyLights will also have access to expanded distribution through PTZOptics’s global partner channel. PTZOptics plans to continue manufacturing TallyLights products in the United States from its headquarters in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. PTZOptics will begin selling TallyLights products in January 2022.
