Tieline will unveil the new Bridge-IT II and Bridge-IT XTRA II IP audio codecs at the 2024 NAB Show. The company says it has designed the new codecs to deliver affordable, reliable, and high-quality broadcast solutions for home studios, simple remote broadcasts, studio-to-transmitter links, studio-to-studio links, and multi-unicasting and multicasting applications.
The new codecs include all the key first-generation Bridge-IT features: a front panel screen and keypad for simple menu navigation, XLR analog and digital AES inputs, a wide range of encoding options, and support for multi-unicast and multicast connections.
New features to support modern networking requirements include:
- Native support for AES67, ST2110-30, ST2022-7, Livewire, Ravenna and AMWA NMOS IS-04 and IS-05
- Two full-duplex mono connections or full-duplex stereo
- Multiple ethernet and AoIP ports
- Failover to another connection, HTTP stream or audio file playback
- Support for wireless cellular modems
“We know there is pent-up demand for the new Bridge-IT II codec, and we are excited to show it for the first time at NAB,” said Will McLean, CEO of the Tieline group of companies. “We expect it to be very popular from both a feature set and price point perspective.”
The codecs support automated failover and SNMP for STL links and include SmartStream PLUS redundant streaming and Fuse-IP data aggregation as standard. They also connect over SIP with EBU N/ACIP Tech 3326, 3347 and 3368 compliant devices. The ToolBox HTML5 web-GUI and optional Cloud Codec Controller software provide real-time monitoring and remote management of connections.
Tieline will be at booth C2811 at the 2024 NAB Show.
