ScreenBuilder
Virtualize Your Workflow
New for 2.0: Now features scripting for capturing RSS news, sports and weather feeds.
Our ScreenBuilder app has virtual faders, meters, labels, buttons, clocks, timers, and other widgets that you can arrange on a PC screen to create your own custom control panels and touchscreens for control and monitoring. Add your own graphics and logos, even images.
Custom panels made with ScreenBuilder have access to our complete AoIP network, the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network and all of the BLADEs, control surfaces, processors, and partner devices on it so you are only limited by your imagination. Once created, your custom panels and touchscreen interfaces can be password protected to prevent unauthorized manipulation of the special graphics and functions you've designed.
ScreenBuilder gives you unlimited control over your entire network. But more than that, you can use it to create dedicated screens that control specific things. Whatever your needs, ScreenBuilder can address them with ease.

A ScreenBuilder Gallery
Chris Penny of Agile Broadcast in Australia developed this virtual producer workstation using ScreenBuilder. The producer can bring IFB in to the right channel of a host/guest headphone by simply pressing on their chair. The ‘dot’ in front of the chairs (on the desk) lights up to show the mic is switched ON. Buttons to the right give the producer full monitoring of all outside broadcast lines in the facility, and he or she can talk to any remote talent by pressing the IFB button for the desired line.
This is a screen from Macquarie Media, Parliament House News Bureau, Canberra, Australia. The newsbooth is based on the M4IP-USB four channel mic processor, which cleans up and levels mic, phone and TV sources. Play and record for the NewsBoss newsroom automation is done via USB direct to the M4IP-USB mic processor. An eight-channel AoIP driver is used. Screen courtesy Chris Penny from Agile Broadcast.
This screen runs at Croc Media, a major Australian sports content provider. It shows the provider’s five-studio distribution complex, with the audio feeds and control signal heading towards the satellite uplink. Croc Media has E-1 control surfaces with ScreenBuilder screens in each studio for delegation and contribution codec control. Distribution codecs are Tieline Genie with WheatNet-IP included. Audio and control signals, including network pulses and codec status are sent bidirectionally between WheatNet-IP and the codec. Screen courtesy Chris Penny from Agile Broadcast.
This is a news workstation based on an M4IP-USB. Two workstations are hosted per M4IP-USB. It allows the same mixer and automatic gain features, multiple source selectors, one-touch record to the Newsboss PC, fully mixing intercom, TV remote control, and room monitoring selection.

ScreenBuilder Extends WheatNet-IP 's Power To Almost Anything You Can Imagine

With WheatNet-IP BLADE-3s, you get a virtual rack room in a 1-rack space box. They handle all the I/O (AES/EBU, SPDIF, AOIP, MADI, SDI and AES 67) and provide full routing capabilities. Each BLADE-3 gives you two 8x2 utility mixers, 12 universal GPI/O ports, 128 software logic ports, silence detection, built-in audio clip player, stereo multi-band audio processing, and much more, assignable anywhere on the network. With it you can create workflows that would require a ton of third-party gear.
