Wheatstone combines intelligent AoIP with cloud, robust connectivity and its FM MPX over IP transporter to create a studio capable of sharing media, workflows and resources across distances.
The WheatNet IP audio network had already extended into the cloud and server realm with its Layers Software Suite, which includes mixing, streaming and FM software hosted on a local server or running on cloud data centers.
At the spring show, Wheatstone ran its Layers software on Amazon Web Services Global Accelerator and added Reliable Internet Stream Transport protocol to its AoIP technology and its SystemLink MPX over IP transporter to complete the cloud-based or local server FM air chain.
AWS Global Accelerator is Amazon’s private network for media, with high availability and security features. RIST connectivity provides error correction for real-time media delivery across any IP link.
