TSL unifies control and monitoring with Hummingbird launch

The solution provides a unified, scalable control environment across broadcast workflows

By Matthew Corrigan

TSL has announced the launch of its Hummingbird unified control ecosystem

Aiming to boost efficiency and reduce complexity across broadcast and AV workflows, TSL Hummingbird combines Tallyman and DNF Controls’ solutions providing a unified ecosystem of control and monitoring applications and interfaces.

The solution includes 15 modular applications deployable either independently, integrate with existing infrastructure or combined to provide complete control and orchestration workflows. Supporting SDI, ST 2110 or NDI workflows, Hummingbird prioritises interoperability, aiming to deliver intuitive control, monitoring and IP routing orchestration across multi-vendor environments.

A process of continual upgrades with the addition of new protocols, applications and integrations as well as soft and hard panel interface options aims to ensure Hummingbird develops progressively, remaining open and responding to evolving user requirements and emerging standards.

The ecosystem launches three new TSL capabilities:

  • NDI Source Tally carries tally across SDI and NDI for hybrid estates.
  • Orchestration provides a vendor agnostic, NMOS-native IP routing control layer presenting NDI style workflows to operators.
  • Grass Valley protocol licences extend native Grass Valley integration for mixed-vendor routing.

Matthew Quade, CEO at TSL, said, “TallyMan and DNF Controls have long been leading names in control and orchestration and are trusted by users around the world. Combining them to create TSL Hummingbird marks an important evolution in shaping the future of control within broadcast, AV, and connected media environments. Establishing a world-leading ecosystem for control and monitoring is the culmination of a vision that began with TSL’s acquisition of DNF Controls. TSL Hummingbird is about giving our customers the freedom to design the workflows they want, with the tools and technologies they choose, with the ability to adapt and scale operations without complexity. We are proud to unveil it to our customers and prospects at IBC2025.”
