Tieline Codec Solutions Deliver IP Innovations
Visitors to Tieline's booth at IBC2014 have the opportunity to see the world's latest codec
technology innovations, including AES67 compliant codecs...

he Merlin PLUS codec has a
wide range of new innovations
on display at IBC2014.
Six Connections To Non-Tieline
Codecs: In another world first,
the Merlin PLUS codec now
supports up to six simultaneous
connections to other codec brands
supporting the EBU N/ACIP 3326
standard. This builds upon the
codec's ability to deliver up to six
simultaneous outside broadcast
connections with Tieline codecs
and Report-IT. Merlin PLUS now
delivers unprecedented flexibility
for connecting to a wide range of
other codec brands over SIP.
Merlin PLUS has dual Gigabit
Ethernet ports, dual power
supplies, audio silence detection

and IP network backup solutions
to ensure you're always on air.
NEW: Six EBU Compliant
Intercom Streams: Tieline was one
of the first codec manufacturers
to integrate I3P EBU Tech 3347
specifications for IP intercoms. In
another world-first Merlin PLUS
is now the first audio codec to
support up to six simultaneous
I3P-compliant intercom streams.
Transmit six full-duplex intercom
streams to a single device, or
stream to six separate devices at
different remote OB sites.
AES67 Compatible WheatNetIP Codecs Available: WheatNetIP enabled Genie Distribution
and Merlin PLUS codecs have a
purpose-built chassis with a LAN
interface for
seamless
integration
within
the
WheatNet-IP
Environment.
These codecs
are compliant

SmartStream
PLUS
Saves
More Money: Unlike competing
solutions,
all
Tieline
Genie
and
Merlin
codecs
feature
SmartStream PLUS software as
standard. This technology has
revolutionised IP broadcasting
by
streaming
simultaneous
redundant data streams from dual
Ethernet ports, to ensure you're
always on air. SmartStream PLUS
delivers seamless redundancy
and maintains rock solid audio
over inexpensive IP networks like
the public internet. This provides
reliable high quality broadcast
links at a fraction of the cost of
synchronous leased lines.
POTS, ISDN And IP Now
Available: Add an ISDN or POTS

module to any Merlin or Genie
codec for connection backup, or
to integrate with existing network
infrastructure during the transition
to IP. Switch automatically to a
backup IP LAN connection or
an alternative transport such as
ISDN or POTS. Codecs equipped
with both modules allow you to
connect over IP, SIP, ISDN and
POTS simultaneously in different
coding formats.
Six Streams Of Opus: Tieline
was the first broadcast codec
manufacturer to integrate Opus
encoding. Now Genie Distribution
and Merlin PLUS codecs can
encode six simultaneous streams
of audio using Opus. Tieline has
also integrated aptX Enhanced
compatibility over ISDN with other
codec brands. This is on display
for the first time at IBC2014.
