The Essential Link for Live Production Coordination
The Datavideo CB-42 is a specialized "mission-critical" cable that translates tally data from your video switcher to your intercom system. In a professional live environment, the tally light is the primary communication tool between the director, the camera operator, and the talent. The CB-42 ensures that when you cut to a camera on the SE-650, the corresponding light on the operator's monitor or beltpack illuminates instantly.
Optimized for the Datavideo Ecosystem
Efficiency is at the heart of the Datavideo workflow. The CB-42 is engineered to be a "set-and-forget" solution for users of the SE-500HD and SE-650 series. By linking these switchers to the ITC-100 or ITC-300 intercom systems, you create a fully integrated production environment where voice communication and visual cues work in perfect harmony.
Reliability at an Affordable Price
Don't let a loose connection ruin your live broadcast. At an accessible $9.00 price point, the CB-42 is an essential spare part for any video engineer's kit. Its robust connectors provide a secure mechanical fit, protecting your tally signal from the vibrations and heat of a busy equipment rack. It is the most cost-effective way to bring professional-level "Red Light" automation to your church, school, or corporate studio.
