Codec manufacturer Tieline has announced that the new ViA Duo codec will debut at NAB in 2026. ViA Duo is an ultra-portable broadcast platform that unifies IP workflows by delivering an all-in-one solution for remote broadcasts, commentary and off-tube broadcasting.
Built for reporters and commentators alike, ViA Duo supports HDMI video out, multiple AoIP protocols, plus IP streaming over multiple interfaces. It is suitable for:
- Reporters to use with a guest
- Two commentators broadcasting sports events
- Announcers working from home
- Talk show and other radio show hosts on the road
- Off-tube commentary, or use as a sports commentary unit over AES67, ST2110-30, Livewire, RAVENNA, or Dante (AoIP and Dante card is optional)
The compact ViA Duo is lightweight and fits in the palm of your hand. It features two XLR mic/line inputs and headphone outputs and can send bidirectional stereo or dual mono IP audio from any remote location to the studio using cellular, Wi-Fi or Ethernet connections.
There is no need for additional outboard gear like mixers, equalisers, compressors, noise gates, expanders, recorders and playback machines – with ViA Duo it is all in one and ready to go.
Use ViA Duo as an AoIP node in a stadium commentary booth and connect over a LAN to a remote truck, or over a WAN to a mixing console at a studio REMI hub. Off-tube commentary is also supported so your commentary team can receive a live video feed and call a game from wherever they are in the world. Full remote control is provided using the Toolbox Web-GUI embedded in every unit, or the optional Cloud Codec Controller.
