TSL Hummingbird Takes Flight: A Scalable, Interoperable Control Ecosystem for Broadcast and AV

"We literally turned them on and never had to bother the TSL team since. We took them out of the box, and they've been working since day one." 

"With TSL control, we were able to deliver a highly integrated, flexible solution that is really intuitive for operators to use.”

"We spoke to a lot of broadcasters who were very supportive of TSL and their control and display systems, which was exactly what we were looking for."

“The newly designed TSL MPA1-MIX MADI-V units feature an extremely intuitive layout. The left to right ascending order of the knobs is very user-friendly as the operator can easily find the channel they need, without having to look directly at the panel. The ‘V’ pattern also has a nice aesthetic look to it.”

“Turner has always encouraged workplace innovation, and partnering with TSL allowed us to develop a solution that genuinely improved operational workflow. We're now exploring ways to roll this setup out across the whole organization.”

“We used to monitor everything manually. This was stressful because inevitably mistakes could sometimes be made by this method; it was also very inefficient. Now we have an automated system that we can rely on. InSite works, giving us the information we need when we need it and displayed in a way we like.”

"TSL’s commitment to supporting emerging IP standards such as AES-67, SMPTE 2022-6 and SMPTE 2110 gave us the confidence we needed in the PAM2-IP to provide the audio monitoring we required at RTL City. Additionally, knowing that we could deploy the PAM2-IP in our new all-IP infrastructure without being forced to change our operational workflows was fundamental to our purchase decision."

"We’ve been thrilled to have TSL as part of our growing AMPP alliance. As Product Manager for Orchestration Tools and Infrastructure at Grass Valley, I’m excited to partner with them as they deliver the processing engine behind the new GVO-Tally option for GV Orbit.

TSL is well known for its expertise in tally management, making them the ideal collaborator to support our Production Switchers, camera tally lamps, and UMD/multiviewer labels. We also worked together to support third-party tally and control protocols.

By integrating TSL’s software directly into GV Orbit, our customers avoid the need for extra power, rack space, or cabling. It’s a strong partnership that offers a complete tally solution and a great working relationship."

"Providing this simplicity and power, TSL’s solution offers users complete control via a unified infrastructure, allowing for immediate access to all devices across multiple networks, avoiding the need for individual sets of control interfaces. Plus, with Virtual Panels, access and routing between the different networked systems is fast and intuitive.”

“Our volunteers love the simplicity and new capabilities of our system, and they don’t have to understand the underlying technology that makes it possible. We no longer have to re-label every input and output on a route change, which equates to faster and more dependable configuration changes. The ability to interface with numerous data protocols, as well as analogue interfaces, has added additional capabilities to out system that can help to further streamline the facility’s workflow.” 

"What attracts us most about TSL is its price-to-performance ratio.”

“TSL audio monitors are reliable and sound great. We love how we can monitor up to 128 audio channels if necessary, and it’s easy to use and interface with. All of the sources can be customised, making it a flexible and intuitive solution for anyone using it.”

“TSL is not only one of the most well-known and trusted brands on the market, but all of the audio monitoring tools available feature GUI and panel designs that are amazingly easy to work with. TSL delivered once again—the customer is very pleased with the final product, and we couldn’t be happier.” 

"The MPA1 is providing us with a smooth transition path, and our audio operators love it.

It’s really intuitive and truly easy to set up."

“TSL is able to hide the complexity of the underlying system so that operators can always focus on producing great content.”

"The integration and installation process was seamless, and TSL has been a huge support along the way.” 

"Of all the products we looked at, the TSL’s control system with Virtual Panels ticked all the boxes and gave us the flexibility and control that we wanted.”

"The most beneficial feature of TSL's control system has been its ability to control multiple routers, vision mixers and multi-view displays in one place. We need to be able to manage routing on a device with over 5,000 sources and destinations. TSL makes it easy to keep an overview of everything on one display and offers significant workflow improvements for the production crew."

“TSL has helped us simplify our workflow and amplify our professionalism beyond what we could have imagined.”

“Our technical and operational teams are delighted with what TSL have come up with as they have listened to and responded to our original core requirements.”

“Integrating TSL equipment into our studios has provided awesome results as it greatly enhances our production quality."

"The system is robust and competitively priced and we have great support from the TSL Team” 

“Operating with TSL’s advanced control system benefits both the production crew and on-camera talent."  

“TSL’s MPA1 units fit seamlessly into our workflow as well as our budget,

and offer excellent overall quality for our custom mixes.”

“TSL Control is a great system to have because it is easy to configure, which makes the installation seamless. The interface is so intuitive that minimal training was involved." 

"Ease of use has always been what drives us to the TSL units, and integrating MPA1-MIX-DANTE-V has greatly improved operator workflow overall. There’s no reason to go anywhere else – TSL units do exactly what we need them to do and TSL is a pleasure to work with." 

"TSL has a great reputation in the industry, and they definitely live up to it

– their products and services are second to none."
