The Tieline Gateway 4 is a powerful DSP-based 1RU 4 channel IP codec designed for live remote broadcasting. In addition, it is ideal for Studio-to-Transmitter Links (STL) as well as Studio-to-Studio Links (SSL).
Furthermore, the Gateway 4 supports up to 4 mono or 2 stereo connections over the public internet or any QoS-enabled IP network. This includes T1 and T3 connections, as well as private WANs with MPLS.
Ember+, AES3, and analogue I/O as standard. An optional WheatNet-IP or Dante card can be added at the time of purchase.
The Gateway 4 represents the next generation of DSP-based reliability and performance for mission-critical broadcast streaming. It’s perfect for:
• Remote broadcast applications
• Studio-to-Transmitter Links (STLs)
• Studio-to-Studio Links (SSLs)
Designed for environments requiring up to 4 audio streaming channels, the Gateway 4 offers advanced redundancy features along with remote configuration and control.
It supports 4 full-duplex audio channels in a 1RU form factor and is backward compatible with all Tieline IP codecs. The Gateway 4 can be configured for two stereo connections, one stereo and two mono connections, or up to 4 mono connections.
Multiple Backup Options
The Gateway 4 has multiple levels of power, audio and network redundancy. The codec features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, dual AoIP ports, dual internal power supplies, automated audio silence detection and IP network backup solutions to ensure you’re always on the air.
Automated network failure detection provides auto switching to a backup IP connection. The codec can automatically switch between 4 backup audio sources to maintain program output at transmitter sites. It is possible to fail over to ISDN using an optional ISDN module. IP fail over options include:
- Connection audio.
- Icecast streaming client.
- Audio file backup.
- Hardware bypass of audio inputs to outputs in case of power failure.
