TSL has announced that it has integrated all of its control products (including TallyMan, Flex Network and more) under the new TSL Control umbrella in a move designed to allow customers to create combined systems across all product lines that address unique workflow needs.
“TSL Control is pure in its name and stands for the independence and integration capabilities that make our offering so compelling,” says Ian Godfrey, TSL president and head of control. “The latest updates to our control offerings have been driven by the motivation to continue offering our customers the most flexible control solutions that ultimately make their jobs easier. At TSL, we strive to be supportive, problem-solvers, working in partnership with customers to deliver the tools they need to maintain ownership of their solutions, reduce costs and remain focused on making great content.”
With TSL Control, operators can manage facility lighting, engage robotic camera presets, drive any content to the back of the screen, and much more. Through a single interface, the operator has full access to the core of their control system and can manage NDI, SDI and 2110 routing all from the same control surface.
Part of TSL Control is the new GTP-42 flex network controller that’s designed to provide cost-effective IP routing and multi-network control, playout control and automation that includes SCTE and DTMF monitoring as well as the new TallyMan Redundancy Package. An advancement that comes from the GTP-42 is decreased power consumption, an easy-to-read front panel display and internal, dual-redundant power supplies. The GTP-42’s upgraded Linux core enables TSL to deploy an entirely virtualized GTP in any environment, whether in a facility, on COTS hardware, or in the cloud.
Also new to the TallyMan control system is full dual redundancy, which offers the ability to replicate between two system controllers with automated failover. With the inclusion of all protocols, features and functionality at the time of purchase, TallyMan can be added to any pre-existing infrastructure, simplifying the deployment of dual redundancy. The TallyMan Redundancy kit includes dual redundant system controllers and the TallyMan redundancy panel (TMRP), where users can achieve direct control, manual failover of two controllers, and/or enable automatic failover mode in the event of failure.
