Free PC Control Software
2 FREE software packages are supplied with each Tieline Commander G3 rack-mount codec. The Tieline ToolBox PC software package provides the ability to configure your codec to suit each broadcast.

Commander G3 Software Codec Controller
The TLG3 GUI software controller emulates the hardware front panel of the 2 RU Commander G3. It can be used to control 2RU codecs using USB or RS-232 serial connections, or either local area networks or the internet. This advanced software GUI can control all normal codec functions such as dialing, menu navigation, audio monitoring and level controls..

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.

Hear the Tieline SmartStream Difference...
As an IP audio pioneer, Tieline has built up many years of knowledge and expertise in broadcasting audio over unmanaged IP Networks like the internet. Now SmartStream IP technology takes broadcasting over unmanaged IP audio networks to the next level for uncompromised AoIP.

Some other manufacturer's charge thousands of dollars for IP managment software as if it's an optional extra. Tieline believes high performance and rock-solid reliability is an essential part of each and every broadcast and delivers its renowned SmartStream IP management software for free.

Tieline's exclusive and proprietary SmartStream IP technology responds to variable IP network conditions with agility and flexibility to significantly improve connection reliability over lossy IP networks such as 3G cell-phone networks and the internet, especially in those situations when Quality of Service (QoS) is unavailable.
