Protocol translation

Most broadcasters have a wide variety of new and legacy equipment that they need to work together in one cohesive system. These devices will utilise a vast array of different protocols and interfaces, everything from GPIs to XML.

Do you need to use your old Evertz control panel with your new Grass Valley Router? Do you need to control your graphics keyer when it is routed to air? This all requires some form of protocol translation.

TSL Control offers multiple interfaces (IP/Serial/GPIO) and a huge library of protocols, encompassing all the major broadcast vendors. This allows the TSL Control solutions to be a protocol “Swiss army knife” solving issues and problems whatever the protocol.

Re-use of existing legacy equipment in new workflows becomes possible. Allow non-compatible devices and systems to be able to be used together to overcome the siloed approach taken by larger manufacturers. This enables the user to avoid vendor lock-in and choose their preferred equipment for each use case.

Use Case: SONY NS-BUS

TSL Control offers support for Sony NS-BUS protocol to support automated production capabilities with the latest Sony Vision Mixers (LSM control elements of the modern Sony switchers).

Using Sony NS-BUS as the inbound protocol, TSL Control can receive and parse commands from the switcher and translate them to other media processing protocols to enable control of disparate kits, enabling automated control between the otherwise incompatible components of a production system.

This control application can be layered with router control and/or scheduled actions and secondary events to accomplish efficiency and productivity improvements.
