Wheatstone to intro Linux audio driver at NAB Show
Broadcast equipment maker, and increasingly software developer, Wheatstone is bringing a WheatNet IP network-based Linux audio driver to the show.
An announcement said, “The audio driver enables bidirectional audio streaming over the WheatNet IP network and is the latest addition based on Linux OS by Wheatstone. Linux is known for its stability as an open-source operating system without the hidden vulnerabilities often associated with Windows OS.”
Wheatstone Director of Product Development Kelly Parker said, “A Linux driver makes sense at this time as one more option for adding greater security and stability across the network.”
Additional details include, “It eliminates the need for soundcards by emulating the soundcard through a standard network card. The Linux audio driver supports up to 24 simultaneous audio streams in and out, depending on host capabilities, and 128 SLIO ports for extensive network-based logic control functions without physical cabling.”
Windows drivers will continue to be supported.
Wheatstone will be in Booth W1654.
