Codec manufacturer Tieline Technology has released new firmware for its Bridge-IT and Bridge-IT XTRA codecs.
The v2.16.120 release includes support for SmartStream Plus dual redundant IP streaming. Tieline has fully integrated Program creation into the HTML5 Toolbox web-browser Graphical User Interface (GUI) for all Bridge-IT codecs. This was necessary because major web-browsers like Chrome and Edge have moved away from supporting Java and the new Toolbox HTML5 GUI runs seamlessly on modern browsers. As a result, firmware from v2.16.120 will no longer fully support the old Java Toolbox GUI.
The upgraded HTML5 Toolbox will run on Mac, Windows and Linux computers, expanding the range of devices engineers can use for program configuration.
Key features:
- SNMP.
- Deterministic SIP routing and upgraded SIP security features.
- Six SIP user accounts and two SIP interfaces.
- Codec caller IDs.
- Support for digital SSL certificates.
- Improvements to Speed Dialling.
- Firmware upgrades using an SD card.
- Backup and restore system configuration using SD card.
‘For more than a decade, Tieline has specialised in broadcasting reliable audio over imperfect networks like the public internet using a range of wired and wireless IP technologies,’ says Tieline CEO, Will McLean. ‘This experience has allowed us to develop and integrate market-leading SmartStream Plus technology into all our new generation IP codecs. The firmware release also supports Bridge-IT codecs receiving Fuse-IP streams from ViA, Merlin and Genie codecs using Fuse-IP bonding.’
‘We also found some users experienced connectivity issues due to regular Java updates designed to mitigate exposure to security vulnerabilities,’ adds Charlie Gawley, VP Sales APAC & EMEA. ‘By using the HTML5 Toolbox, these issues are avoided completely.’
