WHEATSTONE WINS IBC 2024 BEST OF SHOW X3

Wheatstone won two Radio World Best of Show awards this IBC: one for our fourth-gen Blade 4, the only AoIP I/O unit to include audio codecs, processing, control, OS, and low latency RIST connectivity in one RU; and another for our Audioarts value AoIP system, a complete studio system with DMX console, local I/O, Ethernet switch, and now control plug-in.

 
Wheatstone won a TV Tech IBC 2024 Best of Show award for the Strata console and Remote Strata virtual mixer combo ideal for today’s highly collaborative television news teams. The combo provides full interactivity between tactile mixing in the studio and virtual mixing on a touchscreen, including real-time fader tracking between the two.

It involved a large media center, two radio stations, multiple streaming channels, and two live performance stages that were all tied together with WheatNet IP audio networking.

STUDIO PROJECT PLANNING HIGHLIGHTS FROM RADIOWEEK 2024

Our panel of studio experts weighed in on fixed versus virtual consoles among other important topics during RedTech’s Radio Week 2024. All agreed that touchscreens are more cost effective and useful for certain studios but there’s no substitute for the tactile feel of a physical console.
