Tieline Commander G3 IP codecs are amongst the world's most successful and widely used codecs for remote broadcasts, studio-to-transmitter links and audio contribution. The new TLR300B Commander G3 is a 2RU studio codec with comprehensive front panel hardware controls.

All Commander G3 codecs are EBU N/ACIP Tech 3326 compatible over IP and the company is committed to developing new IP and 3GIP applications that take advantage of emerging network infrastructures around the globe.

Digital AES/EBU Inputs = Unsurpassed Audio Quality

Commander G3 IP codecs offer a choice between analog or digital input modules - so now you can capture crystal clear digital audio and keep it in the digital domain using Tieline's AES/EBU input/output modules.

You can choose either an analog two input/output card with XLR connectors or an AES/EBU two input/output card on XLR connectors. AES/EBU clock choices include internal clock, external AES/EBU clock and external word clock. Tieline has also implemented an automatic failover from the selected external clock to the internal clock in the event of an external clock failure.

When purchasing any TLR300B codec you can choose any single input/output card and it will be included in the price of the codec (i.e. there will be no additional cost to the rack-mount price for the first card you choose).

1. Analogue 2 in 2 out interface (Part No: TLANA2IN2OUT)

Analog input card for Rack Mount Codec- Analog Commander Rack Mount codec input card. Featuring 2 input and 2 output on XLR connectors plus balanced Aux in/out on 6.35mm (1/4") jack. Balanced Aux out may also be used as a headphone out.

2. AES EBU 3ID interface (Part No: TLAESEBU3ID)

Digital Input Card for Rack Mount Codec:- AES/EBU Digital Card with 2 in and 2 out balanced AES3 on (XLR) plus unbalanced (BNC) AES3 (jumper selectable) with unbalanced word clock input as AES3 output sync reference.

Redundancy through Automatic failover

This powerful software option provides automatic switching from one network to another in the event of a link failure. For example, if your IP link fails it can automatically switch to a backup POTS, ISDN or 3G link. This provides great peace of mind for studio-to-transmitter links and live remote broadcasts in particular.

Flexible Connections and Control

All Commander IP codecs feature serial, USB and LAN interfaces. Two GPIO relay control inputs and two outputs (expandable to 8 using the optional Tieline CAN8+8 relay box) offer a variety of internal audio matrix routing and external machine controls. Front panel hotkeys can be programmed to trigger relay and routing state changes, or external relay devices can be interfaced to trigger machine control at either end of your link. RS-232 or raw control data can also be sent via the codec serial port and delivered to the other end of your codec link for external machine control.

Commander G3 is still the only codec to enable control of remote codec audio inputs from the studio, so your announcers no longer have to worry about understanding correct audio input levels. You can control one remote audio input or gang all remote audio inputs to a single control in the studio.

Never before have so many powerful remote broadcast elements come together in one compact box. Contact Tieline now for a free demo and see what everyone else is talking about.
