Gateway and Gateway 4 Codecs Support WheatNet-IP with Optional Card
Wheatstone Corporation uses the WheatNet-IP protocol to transport and manage IP streams throughout broadcast plants. A Tieline Gateway or Gateway 4 with an optional WheatNet-IP card on-board can interface directly and seamlessly with these systems.
To support routing WheatNet-IP sources and destinations, Tieline recommends engineers order the optional WheatNet-IP card when purchasing a Gateway or Gateway 4 codec. Codecs with a WheatNet-IP card installed appear as a Blade in Wheatstone’s Navigator software when they are attached to Wheatstone’s WheatNet-IP environment.
Simple Setup
When a WheatNet card is installed in Gateway and Gateway 4 codecs it does not require configuration using Wheatstone’s Razor setup tool like Genie Distribution and Merlin PLUS WheatNet-IP codecs. Audio stream source and destination routing can be directly configured using WheatNet-IP Navigator software, which simplifies AoIP routing within the broadcast plant.
Discovery and Control
Codecs with an optional WheatNet-IP card installed can take advantage of proprietary WheatNet-IP discovery and control mechanisms. For example, Tieline WheatNet-IP enabled codecs support WheatNet-IP logic I/Os. The WheatNet-IP discovery protocol operates over a system-wide dedicated IP multicast “announce channel”. Each device on a WheatNet-IP AoIP network, having subscribed to the multicast group, can hear the announcements of all other devices.
