Tally
If it didn’t happen in the rack, it didn’t happen in Showcaller.
Most show-control tools stop at “command sent.” Tally is the part of Showcaller that doesn’t. Every command is confirmed against your hardware’s actual reported state before it’s ever called done — not guessed, not assumed, checked.
Two different claims, and only one of them should count
Sending a command and having it actually happen are two different events. A network hiccup, a desk that’s mid-save, a device that’s slower than usual to respond — any of these can mean the instruction went out and the hardware just didn’t do it. Most systems can’t tell the difference. They sent the command, so as far as they’re concerned, the job is done. Tally checks. After a command goes out, it waits for the hardware to report its actual state, and only then confirms the cue took.
After, not before
Tally isn’t a pre-flight gate that holds a command up for inspection before letting it run — that would add latency exactly when you can’t afford it. It’s a confirmation that runs immediately after, fast enough that it never slows the show down, but real enough that “confirmed” actually means something. This works because Pulse already knows your hardware’s state continuously — Tally isn’t starting a fresh check from zero, it’s comparing against awareness that was already there.
When something doesn’t take
If a cue doesn’t take — a scene that didn’t recall, an input that didn’t switch, a mute that didn’t latch — you hear about it immediately. Not when someone in the room notices something looks wrong. Not after the show. Immediately, while there’s still time to do something about it. Nothing fails silently.
Every confirmation, kept
Every one of these checks — pass or fail — gets written into Air Check‘s permanent timeline, so the record of a show isn’t “what we told the system to do,” it’s “what actually happened.” Tally is what makes that record trustworthy in the first place.
The difference between a tool you double-check and one you don't
That’s Tally — verify after, not before, every time, on every device Showcaller touches. It’s a small mechanical decision with a large practical effect: nothing on your show runs blind.
