WheatNet-BRIDGE TDM: The Gold Standard Just Turned Platinum

WheatNetBridgeTDM_LogoMore ultra-professional installations are done in broadcast radio and television using Wheatstone's WheatNet-BRIDGE TDM system than any other. And with good reason. It's pioneered absolutely rock-solid operation with minimum fuss. It's the most prolific network out there, giving you control over every aspect of your networked audio. It's the gold standard, and now it's available for use with our Audioarts Engineering D-75N Network-Connected Radio console!

TDM-based Wheatstone Bridge equipment provides tried-and-true audio I/O networking for our Audioarts Engineering D-75N console. Two frame sizes—E-SAT, and MicroSAT— and two switch sizes accommodate various I/O requirements for TOC and studio installations.

Any signal anywhere.

Sounds simple enough, but designing a digital audio network gets more complicated when you think about the requirements: enough non-blocking bandwidth between any two points in your entire system to transceive as many audio and logic signals as you require at any given time.

Wheatstone has been supplying large networked audio systems now for over 5 years, with numerous installations comprised of a dozen or more studios. Our experience with these larger installations led us to develop the E-Net-8 and E-Net-16 – high capacity audio network switches. We learned that busy engineers shouldn’t have to worry about bandwidth limitations and system capacity when planning a facility. The Bridge simplifies the process. It acts as the hub in a "hub and spoke" topology, and you simply plug your studio I/O frames into it.

  • The I/O frames house a family of cards that allows system access for virtually any audio source format and interface path: analog, digital AES (with sample rate convertors), MADI, and SDI.m.\
  • The core switches can connect up to 16 I/O mix engine frames, each capable of up to 512 audio I/O paths.
  • Because the frame’s audio cards are front loading, service can be performed in real time.
  • A selection of cards provides translation from analog, digital, SDI, and MADI inputs or outputs. Naturally, redundant cards can stand ready in each frame for those applications where failure is simply not an option.
  • Wheatstone can even provide prewire assemblies from punchblocks (DB connector, plug-in screw terminals or simple pigtail).
