Tie line started shipping his news Bridge-IT II CodecFirst unveiled at NAB2024, where it received a Best of Show award. The ½ RU unit is intended for home studios, remote broadcasts, and studio backhauls, including studio-to-transmitter and studio-to-studio backhauls. It is also aimed at multicast and multicast applications.
The company also announced the upcoming Bridge-IT Xtra II, a larger 1RU model with dual internal power supplies and additional inputs and outputs, which will be demonstrated at IBC2024 and is scheduled to ship later this year.
Both models retain popular features from the first-generation Bridge-IT, such as a front-panel display and keypad, XLR analog and AES digital inputs, various encoding options, and support for multicast and multicast connections. The new codecs include enhancements such as native support for AES67, ST2110-30, ST2022-7, Livewire, Ravenna, and AMWA NMOS IS-04 and IS-05. Additional capabilities include dual full-duplex mono or full-duplex stereo connections, multiple Ethernet and AoIP ports, failover options, SmartStream Plus redundant streaming, Fuse-IP bonding, SIP, and support for wireless cellular modems.
The codecs also feature real-time monitoring and control via the HTML5 ToolBox web GUI and optional Cloud Codec Controller software.
