A lightly used Tieline Bridge-IT audio over IP codec. The unit has been updated with the latest firmware and reset to factory default settings (logon is admin:password, and the IP address is assigned by DHCP). Further information may be obtained from the User Manual at https://www.prostudioconnection.net/2307/Bridge-IT_User-Manual.pdf. This codec will work best when connecting to other Tieline devices. The technical note on the Tieline website provides some guidance on how to connect to Comrex and Telos IP boxes, but note that they have limited their discussion to the use of the G.722 codec.
Description: The Affordable Multipoint IP Audio Codec
Tielines Bridge-IT is the ultimate affordable, high-performance, stereo IP audio codec solution for broadcast and professional applications. Designed to deliver point-to-point or multi-point connections, Bridge-IT transports audio streams reliably, simply and effectively over a range of managed and unmanaged wired and wireless* IP data networks, such as LANs, WANs and the internet.
Overview
