A new television console was just one of the
introductions at Wheatstone Corp.’s first-ever
NAB Show press conference Tuesday morning.
Josh Gordon, director of marketing and
content development for Wheatstone, was
on hand to reveal some new developments
from the company.
“You’re all welcome to an historical
event,” said Gordon.
Topping the list of new products was the
Dimension One, a console engineered for
television applications and equipped with
built-in digital networking. Most of the
unit’s electronics are packaged externally,
including networking, digital signal processing,
logic functions and the mix engine. This
configuration creates a more compact and
cooler running control surface; it also makes
maintenance and expansion easier.
Also new is the ALP-1000 Television
Loudness Processor, which performs loudness
management in compliance with the
ITU-R BS.1770. It can function as an audio
processor, a loudness manager or both.
Gordon also disclosed additions to the
company’s WheatNet IP networking system
— the IP-88VE Audio Processing BLADE;
the SideBoard control surface, a smallfootprint
desktop control surface; and the
RAZOR BLADE, designed for limited I/O
applications, such as connection with a telephone
hybrid or satellite receiver.
