–Commander G3 and i-Mix G3 platforms
Deliver FM-Quality Mono and Stereo Audio for Remote
Broadcasts Utilizing IP Via DSL, LAN or Wireless Connections–
Indianapolis – (Feb. 22, 2006) – Tieline
Technology, a leading provider of high-quality remote
broadcast digital audio codecs, now offers IP-based
connections with its Commander G3 and i-Mix G3 platforms.
The audio over IP capability allows stations to connect
reliably over the Internet and deliver FM-quality mono
and stereo audio for remote broadcasts.
“Audio over IP is the next big remote broadcast
revolution,” said Tieline American General Manager
Kevin Webb. “The Internet is much cheaper and
a more readily available network than traditional broadcasting
mediums such as ISDN and digital-leased lines.”
The new IP software has been integrated into the Tieline
Commander G3 field codec and i-Mix G3 codec. Broadcasters
can even go wireless over 802.11 Wi-Fi.
“If the venue or remote broadcast has a DHCP
LAN which can access a broadband Internet service, then
all you need to do is connect the codec to the LAN port,
dial the studio and you’re on the air. It’s
that simple,” said Webb. “Even if the venue
does not have a corporate LAN, many of the latest DSL
routers have the ability to assign an IP address to
equipment and you can attach the codec to a LAN port
on the DSL router.”
Tieline is the first company to offer in one codec
multiple connections over multiple networks with POTS,
ISDN, GSM and the new wired and wireless IP options.
“Broadcasters can now plug into a network wherever
they are and deliver broadcast-quality audio back to
the studio in near real time,” said Webb. “The
best news is that broadcasters do not have to buy any
new equipment as the Commander G3 and i-Mix G3 codecs
were designed for easy upgrades such as the addition
of the audio of IP functions.”
Initial reports back from the new IP software have
been very positive including a successful live remote
broadcast by WZPL’s “Smiley Morning Show”
in Indianapolis.
“Tieline provided flawless sound over the public
network we used,” said Mike Rabey, Chief Engineer
Entercom Indianapolis. “The producer went to his
car to listen to the air signal, and came back to the
sound booth grinning ear to ear and told us it was the
best sounding remote he had ever heard.”
A unique feature of Tieline’s remote broadcast
over IP solution is its “failover technology”
option which allows broadcasters to go to a back-up
network should their main Internet connection fail.
Tieline’s remote broadcast codecs will be featured
at its NAB2006 booth located at N3215.
