Introducing fifth-generation I/O and Mix Engine Blades by Wheatstone for failure-proofing studios. Now shipping, the new Blade 5 architecture for the WheatNet IP audio network includes advanced failover resiliency.
Mirrored Blade 5 Mix Engines, synchronised by a high-frequency heartbeat for instantaneous failover. No more dead air while a hot standby launches and switches over in an emergency!
I/O Blade 5 Hitless Path Redundancy, for zero downtime, zero packet loss and zero operator intervention. Lose a network switch or link? No problem. Just continuous, uninterrupted broadcasts all the time, every time.
Failure-Proof Flexibility. This fifth-generation AoIP architecture includes a redundant power supply, dual Ethernet ports and two onboard clip players, in addition to all the audio tools expected of an I/O Blade, such as audio processing, OPUS codecs, utility mixers, AES67 compliance, an onboard meter app, and routing and logic intelligence built into one RU.
Add I/O Blade 5s to any existing WheatNet IP audio network, power any Arcus, Strata, Tekton, LXE or GSX console with a Blade 5 Mix Engine, or build out an entirely new studio facility with the solid reliability, redundancy and capability of fifth-generation I/O and Mix Engine Blades.
