LOS ANGELES—The recently formed TV Solutions Group (TVSG), which is made up of Linear Acoustic and Minnetonka Audio, will be center stage at Telos Alliance’s booth during SMPTE 2016. In addition, Telos Alliance will also showcase its AoIP products from other companies like Axia and Telos.

TVSG is meant to aid broadcasters in the transition to the latest TV industry technology by focusing on customer requirements and technology that helps meet those requirements. The group utilizes both file-based and real-time processing, and products from multiple Telos brands can be included as part of a deployment. Products that are expected to be available at SMPTE include workstation plug-ins for content creation, enterprise and cloud processing, as well as real-time broadcast processors, AoIP Livewire+AES67 interfaces, and consoles.

SMPTE 2016 is currently underway and will continue through Oct. 27.

CLEVELAND—A familiar name to radio industry vets is Telos and the subsequent Telos Alliance. The merger with Linear Acoustic years ago put the company into the TV equipment business.

The recent acquisition of Minnetonka Audio has added to that market. In response the Telos Alliance is forming the “TV Solutions Group.”

A release explained, “The TV Solutions Group will provide solutions that aid broadcasters in the transition to the latest TV industry technology. The AES67 AoIP standard, for example, is a key strategic focus for the new group …”

The release added that the group will focus on products “utilizing both file-based and real-time processing and management … Customers can expect new products that are highly scalable and easy to integrate, as well as expanded access to product support services and technical materials.”

Telos Alliance CEO Frank Foti said, “Telos has had tremendous success in the radio broadcast market by creating the industry's first AoIP standard. With last year's acquisition of Minnetonka Audio and subsequent merger with Linear Acoustic, we have the building blocks to expand our success into TV broadcast and further advance the integration of AES67.”
