infrastructure.
The company is presenting
its leading-edge AVB audio
monitoring technology and new
Managed Ethernet Switches,
developed to transport signals over
IP with only a fractional delay and
boasting tight synchronisation.
" A u d i o / Vi d e o - o v e r- I P a n d
resulting new standards, such as
AVB, AES67, Ravenna, Stagebox
and SMPTE 2022, will revolutionise
broadcasting," said Chris Exelby
Managing Director of TSL Products.
"This technology opens up
the possibility to base all signal
transportation of a broadcast
data stream over IP, allowing
more streamlined and costeffective production.

technology and we have already
started building our Audio/
Video-over-IP portfolio to give
conﬁ dence to broadcasters as

their facilities migrate."
TSL Products is leading the
Audio/Video-over-IP transition with
a broadcast network giant based in
the US, which has already started
implementing TSL's new PAM AVB
audio monitoring units as part of
their Audio-over-IP roll out.
Early adopters of Audio/Video
transportation in the broadcast
domain are saving money and
time using standard IP connections
between venues and facilities
as opposed to using costly
satellite uplinks.
These Audio/Video-over-IP Live
Production Contribution links allow
the production of live events to
take place directly at the broadcast
facility rather than at the venue.
TSL Products demonstrated
how connectivity can be simpliﬁed
within a broadcast facility using
AVB technology.
