Getting to know Genie Distribution with WheatNet-IP
Tieline's Genie Distribution with WheatNet-IP is the world's most powerful DSP-based IP audio
codec for multipoint audio distribution. It has a purpose-built rear panel designed to distribute 3
stereo or 6 mono channels of WheatNet-IP audio via a WheatNet audio card and LAN port. The
codec seamlessly interfaces with the WheatNet-IP Environment in distributing up to three stereo
audio channels between WheatNet-IP studios over external IP networks like the internet. Designed
for the latest digital IP broadcast networks, you can connect to IP codecs, as well as ISDN and
POTS codecs via optional plug-in transport modules.
