Tieline Gateway

The Tieline Gateway is the most powerful DSP-based 1RU IP codec that allows multiple channels of mono or stereo audio to be transported over the public Internet and any QoS-enabled IP network,
The Gateway transmits up to 16 IP audio channels and speaks the language of AES67, ST 2110-30, ST 2022-7, RAVENNA, Livewire+, NMOS, Ember+, AES3 and analogue I/O as standard and optional Dante.

SmartStream PLUS redundant streaming

 

Connect multiple IP links to codecs and use SmartStream PLUS to stream simultaneous redundant data streams and deliver seamless redundancy when streaming over IP.

 

Bond multiple interfaces with Fuse-IP

 

Imagine the peace of mind knowing you can bond data links from different Telcos and let Tieline’s Fuse-IP technology automatically manage the data capability of each link!

 

 

The Gateway is ideal for:

- Audio contribution and managing multiple remotes.
- Studio-to-Transmitter Links.
- Network syndication of programming.

- Multi-channel links to remote studios.
- HTTP Icecast or Shoutcast streaming.
