TV Audio Consoles

IP & TDM Networking

Wheatstone for TV

We get it. You don’t want to mess around with all those channels of audio that need to be routed, mixed, edited and made to sound natural and seamless with what’s happening on video. All of which can be especially frustrating now that 5.1 surround is added to the mix. That’s why we have eliminated all the inefficiency and bloat from TV audio production. Wheatstone has a Network First approach that you’ll like – a lot. We’ve moved everything routing and logic related to the network and replaced that gargantuan console with a much more efficient, compact network console. We’re talking unrestricted routing and unrestricted access just below the surface, but with everything you need above the surface to do it all, and do it fast.

Dimension Two TV Audio Console -- Why We Added IP to the Mix

We understand that audio isn’t at the center of everyone’s universe. So, that prime spot in the television control room? The video switchers can have it. We recognize that TV audio consoles will be sidelined from here to eternity, and we’ve made peace with our lot, and space, in life.

Q: I like that your WheatNet-IP system is based on gigabit Ethernet. But I’m worried I’ll have to pay more for network switches because they have to be gigabit-capable switches.
