Bridge the gap between your studio and STL with the Wheatstone Network EDGE Blade, unlocking seamless connectivity across high-quality studio networks and a variety of STL options. This vital device ensures low-latency communication between different media platforms such as IP radios and commercial leased lines. Designed for smooth integration with major IP radio brands, the Network EDGE enhances your network’s flexibility and extends its reach, optimising both broadcast and media transmission.
The Network EDGE is optimised for full integration with the WheatNet-IP system, offering comprehensive functionality. Typically positioned at the studio end, it works alongside a BLADE at the remote location, utilising the full range of BLADE I/O capabilities, including silence detection, automated clip players, and logic controls. This setup simplifies broadcast operations and enhances the ability to manage and distribute audio content efficiently across networks.
Engineered to address the challenges of unlicensed IP radios, the Network EDGE effectively manages latency fluctuations that can affect audio quality and disrupt transmission reliability. Whether dealing with minor delays or major interruptions caused by environmental factors, it ensures consistent, high-quality performance, keeping your broadcasts clear and uninterrupted.
Built for reliability and efficiency, the Network EDGE offers local I/O capabilities, including two AES and two stereo analogue inputs, along with twelve programmable logic ports. This versatility allows for the connection of various audio sources and supports complex control scenarios, enhancing operational flexibility within your network.
Designed to be compact and non-intrusive, the Network EDGE fits seamlessly into any studio setup. Its 1RU size is perfect for rack installations where space is limited, and its fanless design ensures silent operation, making it ideal for environments where noise is a concern, such as live studios and on-air rooms.
