TSL Products has made a significant announcement at IBC 2018, introducing support for uncompressed IP monitoring in its PAM1-IP and PAM2-IP Precision Audio Monitors.
Enabling Seamless Workflow Transitions
The company's decades-long experience in developing future-proofed products that address rapid changes in the broadcast industry has led to the development of these latest capabilities. With the industry transition to IP gaining momentum, TSL Products' solutions aim to reduce the complexity of this transition for customers.
According to Stephen Brownsill, Audio Product Manager at TSL Products, 'customers require products that can both support and improve new and existing workflows.' The company's goal is to provide broadcast operators with flexible options capable of integrating smoothly into current and future infrastructures.
PAM1-IP and PAM2-IP: Full IP Workflow Support
The PAM1-IP and PAM2-IP products now support ST2110 and ST2022-6, allowing customers to monitor audio carried within these multicast streams. Both units also display accompanying video content on their front panels, providing a full confidence monitoring experience.
Customers can use the PAM1-IP and PAM2-IP to monitor audio-only content such as Dante or AES67 audio flows when connected to a low-cost IP network infrastructure.
MPA1 Range: System-Wide Connectivity Through SNMP
TSL Products' MPA1 Confidence Monitoring Products can now contribute to a wider monitoring solution using TSL's Advanced Control System, or any third-party control system supporting SNMP. This allows Operators and Engineers to remotely control any MPA1 audio monitor from any control panel and recall MPA1 states as part of a system salvo, thereby minimizing operational risk and complexity.
The MPA1 range includes MPA1-MIX-MADI, MPA1-MIX-DANTE, and MPA1-MIX-SDI confidence monitors, as well as the latest additions, the MPA1-SOLO-8 and MPA1-MIX-8, which provide all the workflow and ease-of-use benefits present in their stablemate products while extending the range of connectivity already available in the MPA1 range.
