Before TV routing switcher manufacturers like Ross, Grass Valley and Utah Scientific adopted the serial digital interface (SDI) in recent years, TV studios required one connection for video and two or more for audio. With SDI, audio and video now ride on one serial interface. A variety of source equipment, routing systems and consoles now come with SDI interface – Wheatstone television audio consoles included.
Wheatstone’s new Dimension Two television audio console also comes with IP network capability, which is expected to be the next big technology rollout for television broadcasters.
