TSL Products simplifies and
empowers IP transition
Visitors to IBC2017 can look forward to a new release of TSL Products’ Tallyman
advanced broadcast control system.
To support the industry transition
to software-centric, IP-connected
technology, TSL Products has
updated a number of its control,
audio monitoring and power
management solutions to sim-
plify SDI/IP workflows and
streamline operations sup-
porting customers during
the transition to IP.
TSL Products’ wide-
ranging catalogue of audio
monitoring solutions provide
practical functionality for various
broadcast applications, from criti-
cal level-metering to integrity-
monitoring of surround sound for
TV channels on transmission.
IBC2017 sees updates to its
MPA1 Dante confidence monitor-
ing series to now include support
of AES-67 (and thereby further
support for Ravenna and Hydra2
networks) — which defines the
IP audio transport layer in SMPTE
2110.
TSL Products’ PAM-IP audio
monitoring devices, which feature
twin Ethernet ports, can also now
be used either in Dante or AES-67
modes, making them ideal for use
across the SDI to IP infrastructure
transition, as the installation moves
towards a unified SMPTE solution.
Both ranges also now feature
SNMP (simple network monitoring
protocol) monitoring and control,
which means they can be man-
aged 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.
Visitors to booth 10.B41 can
also check out FlashBoard, a new
addition to the TSL Products com-
mand and control range. A screen-
based information distribution and
display system, FlashBoard can be
integrated with Tallyman or other
third-party control systems.
FlashBoard drives multiple
displays, each with a “unique”
combination of data, clocks and
timers, on-air and cue lights, and
production details. Screens are de-
signed quickly, using the drag and
drop functionality in the TallyMan
virtual panel software for display in
monitor walls, or distributed wire-
lessly to tablets.

Lynx Technik
supports 4K/UHD
with 12G-SDI portfolio
Because 4K/Ultra HD (UHD) re-
quires a system that can transfer
data at a rate of 12Gbps, over
a single coaxial cable or optical
fibre, Lynx Technik is showcasing
its 12G-SDI portfolio, which the
company says is optimised for 4K/
UHD broadcast applications and
video processing.
Highlighting the 12G line-up is
greenMachine titan, a new member
of the app-based solutions from
Lynx Technik. For 4K/UHD applica-
tions, titan accepts either 4x 3G-SDI
(quad link) or 12G-SDI (single link)
inputs. In addition, conversion
between single link and quad link
12G-SDI signals is possible using
greenMachine apps.
Titan also offers an optional
12G-SDI fibre I/O. Apps for green-
Machine titan that support 4K/UHD
include frame synchronisation, em-
bedding/de-embedding, up/down
conversion and more.
A new universal 12G-SDI re-
clocking distribution amplifier
(model: DVD 1417) for the yellobrik
series is suitable for SDI video up to
12G for carrying 4K/UHD video on
a single cable. The DVD 1417 auto-
detects an SDI input up to 12G and
passes it directly to seven outputs.
The third product is a new dual-
channel 12G reclocking distribution
amplifier (model: DVD 1423), which
accepts a single input and offers
three outputs (per channel). This

compact, general-purpose, dual-
channel reclocking SDI distribution
amplifier is suitable for any SDI/
HD-SDI video signal up to 12G for
4K/UHD applications.
These three new products, says
Lynx Technik, expand its existing
12G-SDI technology platform,
which includes fibre transmitters,
receivers and transceivers. With its
entire 12G portfolio, the company
aims to help broadcasters provide
end-users with a more immersive
TV viewing experience.
Lynx Technik is at booth 8.C70.
