The TNS3000 is a high-speed network server and UMC5 high speed modem chassis. It is the TouchStar™ system hub that shifts the burden of remote site control away from a single master controller to a distributed architecture. It houses the modem cards and enables control of any number of remote sites simultaneously through diverse communication paths.
The Windows embedded OS and powerful 400MHz AMD MIPS processor guarantee that the system is highly stable and can adapt to future site or system growth.
The TNS3000 provides a host of options to meet the diversity and complexity of today’s communication paths such as: Ethernet, dial-up, RS-232/422, and 2/4-wire leased lines.
The TNS3000 can enable control of an unlimited number of sites over Ethernet. The TNS3000 has eight (8) UMC5 slots to accomodate sites that require connection via dial-up, RS-232/422, or 2/4-wire leased lines. The UCC2000 is a USB device and can be connected to the TNS3000 to provide further communication slots. The UCC2000 adds ten (10) UMC5 communication slots. Multiple UCC2000s can be connected to the TNS3000 when necessary to meet system requirements.
The TNS3000 can also be configured as a “local” site controller which can control parallel and serial devices such as: A/V routers, switchers, receivers and spectrum viewers.
As the complexity of radio communications between master control and multiple airborne, ENG, fixed camera, antenna and receiver site sources increases, Troll Systems continues to provide innovative hardware and software systems intended to simplify your ability to manage and respond to change. The TNS-3000, a high-speed network server is designed to help you control any number remote sites simultaneously. An ideal communications hub, the TNS-3000 system shifts the burden of remote site control away from a single master controller to a more distributed architecture freeing up valuable engineering resources. Going beyond your RF infrastructure, the TNS-3000 connects to A/V routers, switchers, parallel and serial devices without any loss of the functionality.
Its Windows embedded OS and powerful 400MHz AMD MIPS processor guarantees that the system is highly stable and can adapt to future site or system growth. The TNS-3000 network architecture provides a host of communications options, Ethernet, dial-up, RS232/422, 2/4 wire leased line. Over Ethernet the TNS-3000 can control an unlimited number of sites. In instances where dial-up, RS232/422, 2/4 wire leased line are still in use, the TNS-3000’s standard capacity of eight sites can be augmented with a simple USB device, the X350 expansion chassis. The X350 expansion path will allow you to add an additional ten sites per X350 module. This expansion path enables customers an easy and affordable way to connect any number of remote sites, equipment and individuals via Ethernet, dial-up, RS232/422, 2/4 wire leased line or any combination thereof.
The UMC Modem card is the preferred method for reliable communications
between TouchStar Master Control Systems and remote site equipment.
It provides quick and flawless communication over RS-232/RS-422,
2 or 4 wire leased line and 2 wire dial-up. UMC Modem cards
can easily be reconfigured to work in any of these modes by
changing dipswitch settings on the face of the card.
