MORE ON THE SURFACE

When Beasley Broadcast set up a remote studio built out of cargo containers at Las Vegas’ Container Park several years ago, announcers ini ally broadcast from the loca on using a touchscreen interface that was essen ally a bank of faders, knobs and other so ware widgets on a at screen monitor recessed into the furniture.
Virtual mixers like this have become commonplace, thanks to so ware such as the Glass-E virtual mixer. This is just the start. The virtual interface to the IP audio network can now take on
a variety of forms and applica ons thanks to the smart virtual development tools found in ScreenBuilder, which has a library of faders, meters, labels, bu ons, clocks, mers, and other widgets that can be arranged on a PC screen or Windows tablet and then scripted to control devices and various elements in the WheatNet-IP audio network.
Not only can we develop customized virtual interfaces to the WheatNet-IP audio network, we can e various elements to logic func ons in the network and create an unlimited number of new work ows as a result. One screen can be the window into any number of func ons, from transmi er control and source I/O to mixer interface and meter display.
“I can send the morning crew out on a remote with Glass E on a laptop...And, here’s
the thing: I don’t have to bring in another operator to run the board for a three-hour show at a remote site.”
