Tieline Unveils New ViA Duo Codec at NAB Show in 2026
Leading codec manufacturer Tieline the Codec Company today 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.
“ViA Duo is Tieline’s new generation remote codec that builds on our trusted ViA technology,” said Charlie Gawley, Tieline VP Sales APAC/EMEA. “It truly bridges the gap between field reporting and commentary and operates as an IP codec, AoIP commentary node, or facilitates off-tube broadcasting through support for audio and a video feed.”
Built for reporters and commentators alike, ViA Duo supports HDMI video out, multiple AoIP protocols, plus IP streaming over multiple interfaces. It is ideal 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 2 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’s no need for additional outboard gear like mixers, equalizers, 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 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.
