Launched at IBC, Hummingbird from TSL is a unified, interoperable ecosystem of control and monitoring applications and interfaces, designed to drive efficiency and reduce complexity across advanced broadcast and AV environments.
Hummingbird has been launched with 15 modular applications that can be deployed independently, as enhancements to existing infrastructure, bought as pre-built toolkits, or combined to build complete control and orchestration workflows.
The ecosystem will develop progressively, with ongoing additions of new protocols, applications and integrations, as well as soft and hard panel interface options, ensuring it remains open, futureproof, and responsive to emerging standards and evolving customer needs.
At its core, TSL Hummingbird prioritises interoperability, delivering intuitive control, monitoring, and IP routing orchestration across multi-vendor environments.
Matthew Quade, CEO, TSL, said: “We’re very pleased with the number of people who have come to see us having heard about the Hummingbird launch. With some visitors not previously aware of TSL’s control capabilities, it’s definitely provoked conversations with a wider range of users than we’ve been able to access before.”
