TSL Products adopts hybrid approach to IP While broadcast facilities in Asia may not necessarily be ready to be fully IP-equipped yet, broadcasters in the region are looking for future-proof products that are IP-capable, said Chris Exelby, managing director of TSL Products. The company is now offering the PAM-IP video-over-IP audio monitor, which supports standards such as Dante, AES67 and S2022-6, as well as 4K/Ultra HD (UHD). It can monitor video, audio and the associated metadata from either a traditional 3G-SDI connection or an IP stream, and is designed to work in a hybrid environment where an SDI, AES and analogue-based infrastructures can be monitored alongside an IP-based infrastructure. “SDI is not going away, and it shouldn’t, because it continues to work well,” Exelby noted. “This is why we advocate a hybrid approach of SDI and IP, and the PAM-IP range offers broadcasters more options to work within parameters that best suit their current needs.” TSL Product’s new MPA family is also supporting broadcasters looking to implement audio-over-IP (AoIP) workflows with support for Dante and Ravenna. The two new products within the MPA family include Solo, which offers the ability to listen to any channel, and Mix, which enables the user to create a simple monitoring mix. Osee confident of its quality, ‘value-for-money’ LCD monitors In 2007, when Osee Technology was a relatively new entrant to the international LCD monitor market, it made an unexpectedly bold move. The company launched its first LCD monitor with a two-year warranty when the industry standard warranty was for only a year. It was unprecedented but it demonstrated Osee’s confidence in the quality of its product and signalled its intention to be a serious player in the market. Of course, the confident move paid off. In just half a year, Osee had captured the market for LCD rack monitors. The company then went on to launch stand-alone LCD monitors of equally good quality. Today, Osee has a full range of “outstanding” LCD monitors, from entry-level and midrange to high-end monitors, including reference and evaluation monitors that are used for colour calibration and colour grading. “Our strong and consistent commitment to quality is the first reason for our success,” said Dawn Zhang, Osee’s chief of Overseas Sales. “A second area where we excel is our price-performance ratio. In a highly competitive market, we are proud of our ability to provide clients with top quality and top SWIT’s batteries, chargers continue to power on As SWIT Electronics marks its 20th anniversary this year, it is also proudly celebrating its success as a market leader in heavy-duty batteries and fast chargers.
