A Brief Evolution of Tieline Technology

In 1981 Television Communications Pty Ltd formed to import and distribute broadcast audio and video products into the Western Australian market. During the next 14 years, TVC achieved major installations into most Television stations, private video organizations and government departments. TVC also developed and manufactured a small range of video switching and distribution products.

In 1995 TVC became Audio Video Communications (AVC). The growing range of video products expanded heavily into audio products including radio Broadcast Mixing consoles, signal measurement, conversion, and amplification products which it sold successfully Australia wide.

In 1998 AVC identified a growing market for digital audio codecs required to deliver live, studio quality audio over narrow band networks such as analogue telephone and ISDN links.

Having secured an Australian government development grant, AVC together with a newly procured design team, developed a family of world class digital audio codecs. The codecs were branded under the name Tieline.
Between 1998 and 2001 AVC developed a global distribution network spanning the Americas, Europe, UK, Africa, Asia, Middle East and Australasia.

The Tieline range of codecs continued to win awards until the company became better known to its customers for the brand Tieline than its name AVC. In 2002, having successfully secured www.tieline.com and relevant trademarks, AVC became Tieline Technology.

Today Tieline Technology has offices in Australia and North America with a regional distribution hub in the United Kingdom. Tieline has carved out a strong reputation in international broadcast and industrial audio and video markets for world class products. Significant expansion of its global distribution network over the past two years has fueled sales growth and funded further research and development winning Tieline a coveted West Australian Export award in 2001.

The Tieline research and development team includes full time software and hardware engineers with in house access to state of the art development and testing tools. Tieline has acquired significant expertise in analogue and digital telecommunications networks, incorporating audio algorithm and DSP based hardware/software control systems. Tieline has a well defined development plan with profit funded resources allocated to new codec and audio/video professional solutions products.

Tieline's global sales & marketing, research & development production & manufacturing and administration teams operate under a well defined strategic business plan which will continue to deliver innovative solutions to professional audio and video markets worldwide.
