Wheatstone will unveil its new “Infinite Studio” at NAB Show in Las Vegas.
The new platform will add the Reliable Internet Stream Transport (RIST) protocol to its AoIP technology and running its Layers Software Suite on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Global Accelerator, which includes mixing, streaming and FM software hosted on a local server or running on cloud data centers. The RIST connectivity is stated to provide the error correction necessary for realtime media delivery across any IP link. AWS Global Accelerator is Amazon’s private network made for media with high availability and security features critical to 24/7 broadcasting.
Wheatstone will be demonstrating the infinite studio during NAB, West Hall, booth W1731, as well as its SystemLink® MPX over IP transporter for the complete cloud-based or local server FM air chain.
Wheatstone also will introduce new Audioarts plug-in ready digital consoles.
The new Audioarts Lyric DML 12 and Verse DML 8 include USB direct-to-fader input(s), plus Bluetooth in the case of the DML 12, for PCs, phones, players and other external devices. A WheatNet IP app is optional for direct digital output to a WheatNet IP audio network. Features include three stereo program busses, AES3 inputs via RJ45, mic preamp(s) and built-in cue speaker. The new digital consoles add to the Audioarts studio line of headphone amps, talent stations, consoles and control surfaces.
Audioarts Engineering is a sister brand to Wheatstone. Both are engineered, manufactured and supported under the same roof in Wheatstone’s New Bern, North Carolina, factory.
