TSL Products expands the operating modes for its SAM-Q platform and updates the PAM-IP and MPA1 lines

SAM-Q's new loudness capabilities provide three new loudness modes to the user, while also providing short-term, momentary, and integrated loudness values ​​over an Ethernet network.

TSL Products continues to evolve its solutions to meet the changing needs of its customers and the transition to IP workflows. To keep up with the demands of the ever-changing broadcast market requirements, TSL has updated its audio monitoring offerings, including its platform SAM-Q, and the lines PAM-IP y MPA1.

The SAM-Q platform has been designed to offer multiple modes of operation and behaviors, allowing customers to select their preferred way of working based on their application, skill set or personal preference. The platform allows newly developed operating modes to be added at any time, including audio phase measurement mode and loudness monitoring modes. SAM-Q's new loudness capabilities provide three new loudness modes to the user, while also providing short-term, momentary, and integrated loudness values ​​over an Ethernet network.

Con up to eight independent loudness probes and the ability to calculate loudness values ​​from a variety of program configurations from mono to 9.1+4, the SAM-Q-SDI provides both operational simplicity and deep audio analysis simultaneously.

Additionally, TSL is offering new tools for the SAM-Q platform. SAM-Q-EDIT allows SAM-Q-SDI owners to create, modify and edit their SAM-Q-SDI configurations using a PC. SAM-Q's agile approach to audio monitoring, with licensing capabilities, remote monitoring, and customer-configurable behaviors, provides strong operational and economic efficiencies across an entire truck or facility.

New and existing SAM-Q-SDI customers can now also purchase MADI monitoring licensing options at any time, allowing one or both SDI inputs to be switched to and from MADI sources with ease. It has up to 128 available channels and eight optional loudness probes.

MPA1-MIX

TSL also has a new addition to the MPA1-MIX range, the MPA1-MIX-V, which features a redesigned user interface in direct response to customer feedback. The new interface specifically addresses the challenges of live production and is available in SDI, DANTE, MADI, AES and analog input formats. With the addition of the MIX-V variant, TSL MPA1 customers now have the option to choose the interface that best suits their broadcast production needs.

TSL has also updated its line PAM-IP and its extensive functionalities beyond audio and video monitoring. PAM-IP is now the entry-level tool for IP-based production, proven in facilities and POCs around the world.

The PAM-IP provides a high level of integration with third-party control systems, allowing ST-2110 multicast stream subscriptions to be managed using “In-Band” or “Out-of-Band” control protocols such as Ember+, NMOS IS-04/05 or TSL's own RESTful API.

Subscription status can be monitored remotely over a network with the PAM-IP website, along with health status information such as IP packet counters, signal format, and PTP status. Supporting ST-2110, ST-2022-6 and Dante networks, as well as more traditional SDI, AES and analog sources, the PAM-IP provides premium audio monitoring that aids in the transition to IP.

Stephen Brownsill, director of audio products at TSL Products, highlights that "since its launch in 2019, SAM-Q-SDI has been adopted by broadcasters around the world, and we are honored to receive such a unanimously positive response. TSL understands that, regardless of the technical advances or challenges faced in our industry, customers require products that can support and enhance both new and existing workflows. TSL's continued commitment to open standards means that customers “They can be confident that our solutions are an investment that will meet their needs today and for years to come.”
