VoiceGPIO from Broadcast Bionics is a software service that integrates with compatible AoIP systems and equipment, enabling control through simple voice commands.
Bionics says it allows operators to stay focused while making studio operation more accessible.
“Designed specifically for fast-paced live environments where time is of the essence, VoiceGPIO allows operators to issue commands and receive spoken feedback through their existing talkback system or console, creating a seamless, hands-free control experience that reduces reliance on screens, physical controls and visual cues.”
It is designed to be used with Telos Infinity IP talkback systems. VoiceGPIO runs securely on-prem and integrates natively with AoIP broadcast infrastructure to control consoles, talkshow systems, routing and other functions.
Bionics said it does not rely heavily on cloud services or consumer-grade voice assistants.
With a voice command, operators can control key studio functions. These include toggling faders, switching busses, managing calls, routing audio, switching video sources, or triggering custom GPIO and UDP messages.
“Actions that would traditionally require multiple physical interactions can now be executed with a single voice command, without taking hands off the console or attention away from live content.”
The tool creates a voice-driven environment for faster, more accessible, workflows.
