Known for their expertise in creating tailored solutions for the broadcasting industry, Videosys Broadcast has a long history of innovation driven by client needs.
Emphasis on Customer Feedback and Integration of TSL TallyMan Protocols
According to Colin Tomlin, Managing Director of Videosys Broadcast, the company places a high value on customer input, often incorporating suggestions into their products to expedite production workflows. This customer-centric approach led to the integration of TSL TallyMan protocols into their camera control systems, facilitating both tally and UMD data handling.
Endorsement from Industry Partners
EMG Connectivity, represented by Technical Director Martin Brosthaus, praises the latest developments, highlighting their benefits for complex or remote camera setups where equipment may be spread across various locations or countries. He emphasizes the importance of seamless integration between wired and wireless camera systems in broadcast workflows, where the user experiences no discernible difference in operation.
Seamless Integration and Advanced Tally Signalling
With the integration of major camera manufacturers’ control panels and bidirectional data, Videosys Broadcast aims to achieve flawless integration. The inclusion of the TSL TallyMan protocol in the VideoSys IDU marks a significant advancement, transitioning tally signaling to the IP domain, thus negating the need for dedicated tally cabling and enhancing operational flexibility.
Accessibility for New and Existing Customers
The new features are readily available for new customers, while existing users can add TallyMan control to their systems through a complimentary software update.
Enhanced Remote Control Capabilities
Videosys Broadcast has also introduced remote control functionality for AEON-CC and STX-CC transmitters through the web GUI on the IDU and Epsilon Radio Camera Systems. This feature significantly broadens the scope of remote control options, allowing users to manage key functions like transmission frequencies from a Master Control Room or an Outside Broadcast van.
Arnold Roozenburg, Sales and Marketing Director at Videosys Broadcast, explains that TX control enables users to access transmitter status information and modify features like video link frequency and power output remotely.
