Keypad Interactive Audience Response System for Television

Quick Tally® is an Interactive Audience Response System

Providing instantaneous feedback at the touch of a button, Quick Tally's proprietary keypad handsets (which we manufacture ourselves) gives your audience the power to communicate electronically. Their decisions are displayed in real time on any video monitor. Better yet, our system provides a pure NTSC signal output, so the voting results can be input directly into your switcher or downstream keyer giving your creative team total flexibility.

Quick Tally® can customize the system to your meet your audience needs, from a small number of handsets for three judges, as we did for Dancing With The Stars to an audience of up to 5,000 voters (or more) as we did for the two CBS The Great Skate Debate programs, giving your show the added punch of true interactivity.

Audience members enter their responses into hand-held keypads that resemble a TV remote control unit. The Quick Tally® Windows-based software collects the data, tabulates it, and instantly displays the group's response. The entire process takes less than two seconds. 

Sample Question and Answer Screens

5. Supports team statistics and standings.
6. Remembers Demographics - An immediate cross-tabulation function allows data to be broken out into any number of different subgroups. Each and every bit of information entered can be shown against any other bit with the touch of a button— such as how men answered a particular question, or how people of a specified income group or educational level answered.
