All mixing functions for WheatNet IP audio consoles are done in a Mix Engine or a Console Blade, which also includes I/O. Consoles and Mix Engine/Console Blades connect directly into the network switch itself for true IP connectivity between consoles and engine as well as direct access to automation systems, network applications and other control surfaces that make true system interoperability possible.
The IP88 Console Blade comes standard with L-8, L-12, IP-12 and IP-16 consoles for mix engine functions as well as I/O. A single-rack IP88 Console Blade is all that is needed for many studio operations. Busy studios that require additional I/O can upgrade to the IP88CB32 model for double the amount of I/O in 2RU.
All Console Blades are AES67 compatible to bring audio from other AES67-compatible devices and signals into and out of the WheatNet IP audio network.
The IP883E/IP884E Mix Engine Blade for LXE and GSX consoles, Glass LXE, and Remote LXE/GSX interfaces houses all the mixing functions and provides essential distribution of the four stereo program buses, four stereo AUX sends, per-channel mix-minus feeds, monitor outputs, and other bus signals to the WheatNet IP audio network. Once on the network, bus signals are available as sources and destinations anywhere. This creates an extremely flexible system in which program outputs from one surface can be sources on any other surface; for example, a news mixer’s program bus can be brought up as a source on the air studio surface. While the IP883E/IP884E doesn’t house audio I/O, it does include 12 universal logic (GPIO) ports for interfacing various external switches, indicators and devices for control purposes.
The third-generation IP883E Mix Engine is AES67 compatible, and the fourth generation IP884E Mix Engine is AES67 compliant for full interoperability with other AES67-compatible devices and systems.
