Talk to the rest
of your facility.

Add connections to other equipment via our connection drivers — TSL 5 for tally, OSC for lighting and cue control, plus LRC, RossTalk, SW-P-08 and more. Need a protocol we don’t list yet? Send us the spec and we’ll add a driver.

Connection drivers

Plug SYGNAL into the kit you already run

Add connections to other equipment via our connection drivers. TSL 5 carries tally in and out, OSC handles lighting and cue control, and protocols like LRC, RossTalk and SW-P-08 wire SYGNAL into the routers, switchers and surfaces already in your gallery.

  • TSL 5 tally in and out
  • OSC for lighting & cue control
  • LRC, RossTalk, SW-P-08 and more
  • Ember+ with a tree browser
  • Blackmagic ATEM and Videohub
  • Midas M32 and Behringer X32, MIDI, WebSocket and Flirc IR
Speaks your facility’s protocols

Drivers for the kit around the server

SYGNAL doesn’t ask the rest of your gallery to change. Each driver speaks a protocol your existing kit already understands.

Tally over TSL 5

Carry tally in and out over TSL 5. The same on-air state lights every multiviewer, keypanel and router that needs it.

Lighting & cue via OSC

Drive lighting and cue control over OSC. Looks and cues follow what’s live on air.

Routers & switchers

LRC, RossTalk and SW-P-08 connect SYGNAL to routers, vision switchers and routing matrices around the server.

What a connection gives you

Tally, crosspoints and triggers

A connection is more than a socket. Once it is linked, its state and its commands belong to the rest of the system.

Tally in and out

TSL v5 as receiver, sender or both, over UDP or TCP. The built-in vision mixer drives external tally from its own programme and preview state.

External routers

Control SW-P-08, LRC, Videohub and Ember+ routers from the Routers page. Crosspoints are read back, so the panel shows what the router is doing.

Ross switchers

Over RossTalk: cut, auto transition, fade to black, memory recall, custom controls, GPI and crosspoints.

Automation nodes

Every event a connection reports and every command it accepts is available as an automation node. GPIO pins trigger on rising or falling edges.

Permissions

Each connection carries its own access tags, checked on every command. A connection also has to be granted what it may do inside SYGNAL.

Driver kit

Drivers are built on a documented driver kit. Each one runs as a separate program beside the core, so a new protocol is added as a new driver.

Missing a protocol?

Send us the spec, we’ll add a driver

Need a protocol we don’t list yet? Send us the spec and we’ll build a driver. An unusual piece of kit in your gallery is a request, not a dead end.

  • Send us the spec for the protocol you need
  • Custom drivers built on request
  • The driver list keeps growing
