Tieline will debut its ViA Duo codec at the NAB Show.
“ViA Duo is an ultra-portable broadcast platform that unifies IP workflows by delivering an all-in-one solution for remote broadcasts, commentary and off-tube broadcasting,” the manufacturer said in a release.
Charlie Gawley, VP Sales APAC/EMEA, said the ViA Duo bridges a gap between field reporting and commentary. It operates as an IP codec or AoIP commentary node, or facilitates off-tube broadcasting through support for audio and a video feed.
“ViA Duo supports HDMI video out, multiple AoIP protocols, plus IP streaming over multiple interfaces.”
Applications reporters with a guest; two commentators broadcasting sports events; announcers working from home; talk show and other radio show hosts on the road; off-tube commentary, or a sports commentary unit over AES67, ST2110-30, Livewire, Ravenna or Dante. An AoIP and Dante card is optional.
Tieline says the ViA Duo is lightweight and fits in the palm of a hand.
Features include two XLR mic/line inputs and headphone outputs. It can send bidirectional stereo or dual mono IP audio from a remote location to the studio using cellular, Wi-Fi or Ethernet connections, with no need for additional gear.
“Use ViA Duo as an AoIP node in stadium commentary booth and connect over a LAN to a remote truck, or over a WAN to a mixing console at a studio REMI hub. Off-tube commentary is also supported so your commentary team can receive a live video feed and call a game from wherever they are in the world.”
Remote control is provided using the embedded Toolbox Web-GUI or optional Cloud Codec Controller.
