Got a camera tally port on my Barco camera/ laptop vision mixer, thought it might be useful for switching on a red light on over the laptop that's now live, or triggering playback start on a brightsign media player, or triggering playback on a laptop through interspace mastercue v5 hardwired button remote xlr. My question is are tally lights just internal relays in the mixer so you feed power in and the internals switch that power voltage back to the output pin, or does the mixer internals give out voltages to the external devices ( like camera ccu tally in connection) Just curious to fiddle in this down time!

Mine are clear plastic covered steels, bit worried that removing the protective cover with blunt end of knife near the steel could damage it, seems safer to leave the clear pipe on

Got some pipe covered long safety steels that I want to now use for lifting, but over u shaped rollers. Is it ok to leave the cable cover on, or slit it all off with a sharp knife ? Thanks
