TSL Products Announce Solution Updates

TSL Products has updated a number of its solutions to help simplify the transition to IP. These updates – which have been applied to a number of the company's control, audio monitoring and power management solutions – will be unveiled at IBC2017 (Stand 10.B41).

On display will be an update to TSL Products' MPA1 Dante confidence monitoring series to include support of AES-67. AES-67 defines the IP audio transport layer in SMPTE 2110.

The company's PAM-IP audio monitoring devices, which feature twin Ethernet ports, can also now be used either in Dante or AES-67 modes, making them suitable for use across the SDI to IP infrastructure transition.

Both ranges feature SNMP monitoring and control, which means they can be managed remotely by TSL Products' TallyMan or other SNMP management systems for the first time. Existing users of the MPA1 can install the improved functionality as a free download. IBC2017 will also see a new release of TSL Products' TallyMan advanced broadcast control system.

A part of the TallyMan functionality is the ability to design virtual control panels, usually implemented on touchscreen PCs. The latest release of tools allows engineers to create multi-take buttons, which achieve multi-device, precisely time-aligned salvos of commands. The design platform includes a new range of sliders, rotary encoders and X-Y control, which can be applied to anything from positioning robotic cameras to adjusting audio levels to colour correction.

A new addition to the TSL Products command and control range is FlashBoard, a screen-based information distribution and display system. Integrating with TallyMan, third party control systems or capable of independent operation, FlashBoard recognises the increasing need for critical workflow information to be delivered visually at the point of use. It drives multiple displays, each with a combination of data, clocks and timers, on-air and cue lights, and production details. Screens are designed quickly using the drag and drop functionality in the TallyMan virtual panel software for display in monitor walls or distributed wirelessly to tablets.

Chris Exelby, Managing Director, TSL Products, said: "Our practical solutions are designed for now and tomorrow. We are the trusted partner, providing solutions which support our customers, allowing them to concentrate on producing great content while we take care of the complexities of an industry in transition to IP.
