TSL PPGs AVM-T-Mix promises to simplify TV broadcast operations
Published: PRODUCTS
TSL Professional Products Group has released the AVM-T-Mix (Touchmix), a rack-mounted touchscreen controlled audio mixer/monitor designed to simplify operations and workflow throughout the television broadcast environment.
A standout feature highlighted by the manufacturer is that when in live operation, the T-Mix user can instantly see channel activity, recognise the source that has been named via the qwerty keyboard menu, and listen to the resulting audio from individual, grouped or mixed channels.
Up to 64 audio inputs can be chosen simultaneously from SDI, AES and analogue sources. Meanwhile the 22:9 touchscreen display provides dual bargraphs for the 10 channel inputs and master output. Channels can be defined as mono, stereo or grouped together to provide LRC and 5.1 inputs, which are automatically down-mixed inside the unit for compliance checking.
TSL states that the T-Mix is ‘ideal’ for any front-line operation that involves a number of audio sources, from edit suites to large studio galleries. A single rotary control provides channel or master level, and pan or stereo balance. The Touchmix can be used for dual operations due to the fact that it contains two complete mixers within the same device.
Meanwhile, TSL has announced it has extended its Pam product range with the release of the PAM1-3G16 monitoring device. The device was produced after customers said they were impressed with the manufacturer’s previous dual SDI monitoring device, but would prefer it if it was half the height.
The PAM1-3G16 strips audio from dual stream 3Gb/s SDI inputs, displaying up to 16 audio channels on high-resolution bargraphs in a compact 1U cabinet. As well as providing accurate level metering, it includes built in loudness monitoring to ITU BS1770/71. Alongside Dolby D and E decoding, the unit is also capable of displaying Dolby metadata on one of the twin Oled screens.
Alternatively, one of the screens can be set as a confidence video monitor and includes stereo speakers through tuned ports. TSL calls it ‘flexible in operation’ due to features such as its autosenses inputs and user pre-sets that can be set for instant recall of input and output status.
