Boasting a unique AoIP toolset in one rack unit, Wheatstone is aiming to be at the sharp end of broadcast with its fourth-generation Blade 4 WheatNet IP I/O unit.
Blade 4 adds high-speed protocol to its routable audio codecs, audio processing, scripting and studio control, and it does so in a compact 1U unit. It includes optimal dual Opus audio codecs for streaming between studio facilities, home studios, or transmitter sites and updated CPU with GPU graphics acceleration for running customised scripts, apps and virtual interfaces directly on the Blade 4 itself.
With the addition of Reliable Internet Stream Transport (RIST), an open-source transport protocol developed for reliable transmission of video and audio in real time, Blade 4 delivers enhanced network security and reliability, as well as lower latency and higher quality audio streaming across public internet.
Jay Tyler, Director of Sales, Wheatstone, said: “When we were still adding features into Blade 3, we already had Blade 4 on the development path. We invent, design, manufacture, test and ship everything from one location, and it gives us the opportunity to spin up hardware like Blade 4 in line with what our customers are asking for. That’s rare in this day and age.”
The company is also demonstrating the WheatNet IP audio network and a plug and play DMX console system.
