ScreenBuilder is a virtual development suite of tools for creating virtual mixers and other touchscreens that tap directly into the WheatNet IP audio network as additions or updates to existing studios. Choose from controls, clocks, faders and dozens of other widgets, and apply basic scripting using Script Wizard for a variety of functions. Or add your own widgets and specialized scripts for even more customized touchscreens that can be used along with or in place of fixed hardware. If you can think it, you can build it with ScreenBuilder.
Add mixing, FM/HD processing and stream instances to a server in your rack room. Layers Software Suite includes full-featured mix engine with virtual interface, audio processing and stream provisioning, processing and support for metadata.
Layers Software Suite is an extension of the WheatNet IP audio networking family of products and services.
IP Meters displays a “wall of meters” on a PC screen for ongoing monitoring of audio peak levels, average levels, and various other parameters at selected points throughout the WheatNet IP audio network. The IP Meters GUI gives you ongoing metering of audio levels, signal density, FFT graphs, and more. Fully customizable, the IP-MTR64 Meters GUI lets you display an almost limitless array of metering and analysis on the monitor of any computer connected to the WheatNet IP audio network. Plus, meters have silence detection, so you can see at a glance if an audio stream has gone down, and where.
The WheatNet IP Audio Driver is PC software that enables bi-directional audio streaming via an Ethernet port, allowing a Windows computer to join the WheatNet IP audio network for purposes such as program automation, storage, or logging. It eliminates the need for soundcards by emulating them through a standard NIC, supporting up to 24 simultaneous audio streams in and out, depending on the PC’s capabilities. Additionally, it offers 128 SLIO ports for extensive network-based logic control functions without physical cabling. This driver can be used on any compatible PC, including those used for streaming station outputs or modern audio devices running standard WDM drivers
The Wheatstone Automation Control Interface (ACI) is a proprietary control protocol used to seamlessly integrate automation, codecs, and other third party systems/units into the WheatNet IP network. ACI makes it possible to integrate control of these elements and systems with all hardware and software elements within the WheatNet IP ecosystem. With ACI, users can achieve real-time voicetracking, centralized content management, and efficient automation failover, all while reducing costs and hardware burdens. ACI can streamline workflows, enhance operational flexibility, and ensure that audio and automation systems work in perfect harmony.
More than 60 third-party brands interface directly into the WheatNet IP audio network using the ACI protocol, from playout and production automation systems to camera control and IP audio codec distribution.
Scheduler tells the WheatNet IP system when to switch between live and automated programming, turn on/off microphones and perform other events at predetermined times. This program triggers events at predetermined times by connecting or disconnecting signal routing. It fires off commands to send a satellite feed direct to air or to turn on mic feeds for the morning show at regularly scheduled times, for example.
PC-XY is for routing logic and audio throughout the WheatNet IP network. It provides source and destination control and can also access and manage system salvos. With a site license, the software can be installed on multiple PCs for routing audio and/or logic anywhere on the WheatNet IP audio network.
Used for generating scripts for general purpose routines, Script Wizard is a powerful basic script generator with script templates and checklists that make it easy to create custom screens and interfaces for the WheatNet IP audio network.
Optional Clip Player software is available for Blades, providing audio clip player with clip list management and audio storage.
Logic Viewer provides a clear visualization of logic events throughout the WheatNet IP audio network. Used for network management, troubleshooting and analysis purposes, Logic Viewer can detail logic event flow to quickly identify and address issues.
This software for the WheatNet IP audio network has an intuitive interface, making it accessible and easy to use for network administrators and engineers.
