Tech Focus: Wheatstone says the Blade 4 can solve a lot of problems.
This AoIP I/O unit includes audio processing, codecs, mixing, routing, control and built-in OS in one rack unit. By bringing together I/O, audio tools, and intelligence in one unit, the company says Blade 4 can solve essential studio tasks and unexpected problems that crop up from time to time in a busy studio.
Need to run a quick remote feed into the studio? Select one of the two Opus, MP3 or AAC codecs built into the Blade 4. Need to add metering or another app? Run metering and scripts directly on the Blade 4 unit; no PC is required.
Need to route audio through a separate AES67 device at the ballpark? Use the AES67 interface in the Blade 4. Need a backup offsite studio for emergencies? Add a Blade 4 to each transmitter site for automatic failover during an emergency — each their own native AoIP environment with audio codecs, processing, routing and control and audio clip players with USB ports for emergency announcements.
