Tieline the Codec Company has confirmed that its new Bridge-IT II codec is now going to market.
The ½ RU Bridge-IT II was revealed at NAB2024 and won a Best of Show award.
The product, says Tieline, is designed to deliver affordable, reliable, and high-quality broadcast solutions for home studios and simple remote broadcasts; studio-to-Transmitter Links (STLs); studio-to-studio Links (SSLs); and multi-unicasting and multicasting applications.
Bridge-IT XTRA II, a 1RU version with dual internal power supplies and additional I/Os, will be on show for the first time at IBC2024. It is expected to ship later this year.
Both codecs include all the favorite first-generation Bridge-IT features: a front panel screen and keypad for simple menu navigation, XLR analog and digital AES inputs, a wide range of encoding options, and support for multi-unicast and multicast connections. New features to support modern networking requirements include:
- Native support for AES67, ST2110-30, ST2022-7, Livewire, RAVENNA and AMWA NMOS IS-04 and IS-05.
- Two full-duplex mono connections, or full duplex stereo.
- Multiple Ethernet and AoIP ports.
- Failover to another connection, HTTP stream, or audio file playback.
- Support for SmartStream PLUS redundant streaming, Fuse-IP bonding, SIP and wireless cellular modems.
- Real time monitoring and control using the ToolBox HTML5 web-GUI and optional Cloud Codec Controller software.
Tieline will be at booth 8.F65 at IBC 2024 and will be showcasing the Bridge-IT II and Bridge-IT XTRA II codecs.
