TSL Products Unveils
Ember+ Support for TallyMan
The latest control updates for the company's broadcast control system will enable the intuitive creation
of automated workflows...

t BroadcastAsia 2018, TSL
Products will showcase updates
to its broadcast control portfolio,
including expanded protocol support
and enhanced user interface features
for TallyMan, as well as upgrades to its
audio range including the PAM1-IP and
PAM2-IP.
Reimaging Tallyman's
Infrastructure
The
latest
firmware
update
(V.1.9.2.0) for TSL's flagship TallyMan
Advanced Broadcast Control System
provides support for Ember+ data
delivery protocol, enabling engineers
to integrate all Ember+ capable thirdparty devices into their automated
workflows. Updates to the TallyMan
Virtual Panel V.1.3 and a debut of the
new FlashBoard Technical Display
System will also be available.
TSL's TallyMan control system
was built to be independent,
universal, configurable and infinitely
scalable,
allowing
broadcast
operators to achieve interoperability
between
equipment,
regardless
of
manufacturers
and
format
specifications. Users can easily group
multi-level actions into a simple
control surface that provides a single,
shared entry point for signal flow
and facility control. With support
for Ember+, operators now have
expanded access to a broad range of
modern broadcast equipment capable
of delivering the protocol's complex,
multi-layered data layout. Along with
Ember+, TallyMan can also support
several other new standards
and protocol updates for
third-party
receivers,
routers and switchers.
TallyMan's new studio
failover feature is another
user-minded
update
intended
to
bolster
broadcaster's automated
infrastructures. Operators
can
create
pre-sets
across all devices in their
facility that automatically
trigger in the case of
failover or scheduled down
time. TallyMan will then

PAM2-IP supports the modern suite of standards

automatically recall all established
pre-sets without requiring any action
from operators.
Simplified Management
with Virtual Panel
The fully customisable TallyMan
Virtual Panel interface is equipped
with intuitive, drag-and-drop controls
for designing production setups to
fit specific needs. The latest update
includes enhanced source selection
architecture for the Virtual Panel that
enables simplified pre-set design and
management. Operators can freely
create categories and favourite pages
and access them from anywhere in
the user interface at the touch of a
button. New controls include enhanced
selection for popup categories to
ensure simple, clean user interface,
as well as a new multi-take tool for
building and executing salvos live.
Improved sliders, rotary encoders and
X-Y control allow operators to better
steer robotic cameras, adjust gain
on audio devices and tweak levels on
colour correctors.
In addition, TSL's FlashBoard
addresses the broadcast industry's

growing need for visual delivery of
critical workflow information across
an entire facility, including run-down,
production timing, branding, key
production staff information and tally.
The system's screen-based setup is
linked into the TallyMan system as a
direct system interface, providing full
visibility of the system and integrating
seamlessly within the IP network.
Users can design FlashBoard screen
displays using the Virtual Panel's
creator software package.
Precision Audio Monitors
In response to the recent ratification
of SMPTE 2110, TSL Products' PAM1-IP
and PAM2-IP audio monitoring units
now support the modern suite of
standards. The addition of SMPTE 2110
maintains a product line built on open
standards and design, whilst existing
PAM-IP customers already working
with SMPTE 2022-6 can easily upgrade
their units to SMPTE 2110 in the field.
With over 1,000 TallyMan Systems
deployed worldwide, TSL Products
brings its experience in control and
system integration to the fore in its
audio monitoring solutions through
a growing list of control
protocols. To this end,
both the PAM1-IP and
PAM2-IP precision audio
monitors now support
Ember+
protocol,
allowing them to be
deployed within an
ever-growing number
of IP facilities and OB
trucks.
"The
addition
of SMPTE 2110 and
Ember+ aims to address the
complexities customers face when

making the transition to IP," says
Stephen Brownsill, Audio Product
Manager, TSL Products.
"We continue to adopt a flexible
approach
in
consultation
with
our customers to help ensure a
seamless shift for those customers
moving from traditional broadcast
environments to total IP production
and delivery. Maintaining support for
open standards and the adoption of
multiple control protocols, including
Ember+, ensures that our customers'
investments are future-proof, whilst
maintaining a familiar operational
experience that will allow broadcasters
to focus on producing great content
rather than the technical details of the
underlying infrastructure."
Streamlined Workflows
for MPA1 Customers
TSL's MPA1 range also has several
updates that will premiere at
BroadcastAsia. The MPA1-MIX-DANTE
and MPA1-SOLO-DANTE confidence
audio monitors now support AES67
audio as part of the ST-2110 standard,
making them suitable for monitoring
Dante® and AES67 audio.
The MPA1 audio monitoring range
supports SNMP, enabling customers to
benefit from more comprehensive and
streamlined workflows, and smarter
and more intelligent integrated
solutions where they can remotely
control their MPA1's using TSL's
TallyMan control system or any thirdparty control system supporting SNMP.
This free software upgrade increases
the existing feature set of all MPA1
confidence monitors.
New to the MPA1 range of audio
monitors are the MPA1 MIX SDI,
MPA1-SOLO-8
and
MPA1-MIX-8,
which offer an extended range of
connectivity already available in the
MPA1 line. Both the MPA1-SOLO-8 and
MPA1-MIX-8 come equipped with 16
x balanced analogue Inputs, 8 x AES
Inputs and 8 x GPIO ports. As with all
MPA1 products, both the MPA1-SOLO-8
and MPA1-MIX-8 come complete with
a built-in web-server to allow remote
configuration and control and thirdparty control using SNMP.
