Codec manufacturer Tieline has announced firmware v3.06.06, officially supporting Livewire+ and a range of other new features for its Gateway and Gateway 4 codecs.

This firmware update includes native support for Livewire+ AoIP streaming, user-defined program support for a mix of point-to-point and multi-point audio streams, Ember+ GPIO support. A new codec front panel lock feature, and French, Spanish and Portuguese translation updates.

‘This is the first official release of firmware with native Livewire+ AoIP streaming support that has been highly anticipated by many broadcasters,’ APAC/EMEA VP Sales, Charlie Gawley. ‘Native support for Livewire+ facilitates both the Gateway and Gateway 4 being integrated seamlessly into the large number of networks that have deployed this proprietary protocol and use Axia consoles and Pathfinder for routing control.’

This release also includes the ability to create user-defined programs that support a mix of point-to-point streams, as well as multicast and multi-unicast audio streams. This delivers greater flexibility for distribution of audio streams over wide area networks.

The release is a free upgrade for existing customers. Release notes for all new features can be viewed, and firmware downloaded, from the support page for each codec available.
