The Tally light on the CM70-series (including the NDI camera) is part of the optional license LC70-1 that also includes the Customizable Color Matrix CCM and SRT streaming. Without a license, the LED on the front is not controllable.


There are no status inquiry commands for the Tally light function, but RED, GREEN, OFF commands over VISCA (either IP or serial):
