WheatNet-IP BLADE 3
/ Mar 2019
HD-SDI - Audio De-Embedder BLADE 3
The HD‑SDI BLADE 3 is a specialty BLADE for extracting encapsulated audio from
a serial digital interface (SDI). With the HD‑SDI BLADE 3, you can ingest audio into the
WheatNet‑IP Intelligent Network from video production automation systems, routers, and
other professional video equipment that use HD-SDI.
Our new specialty HD‑SDI BLADE 3 for the WheatNet‑IP Intelligent Network
de‑embeds multiple audio channels from HD‑SDI streams so you can mix, process or simply
route audio to your console for final broadcast. The HD-SDI is capable of de-embedding
up to four HD‑SDI streams, and up to 8 AES/EBU pairs (16 audio channels) per stream.
The HD‑SDI BLADE 3 has four BNC connectors for coaxial input, and includes logic
control, onboard utility functions and the dedicated controller that is at the core of its
intelligence. Like other BLADE 3s, the HD‑SDI BLADE 3 has its own CPU and operating
system and provides a 1000BaseT (Gigabit) network interface for optimum network QoS
and reliability. The HD‑SDI BLADE 3 is AES67 compatible for interoperability with other
AES67 compatible systems and devices, and has two built‑in 8x2 stereo mixers. It comes
with 12 universal logic (GPIO) ports for interfacing various external switches, indicators
and devices for control purposes – as well as 128 software logic ports for routing and
controlling devices anywhere on the network.
The rear panel has four pairs of the BNC connectors for coaxial input and loop, and
one pair to provide a DARS reference input to sync WheatNet‑IP to the house DARS
reference. Two RJ‑45 connectors provide 12 logic ports, which can be individually des‑
ignated during set up as inputs or outputs. Use these ports to wire the various external
switches, indicators, and control functions you need in your facility.
There are two RJ‑45 jacks for Ethernet. One is for 1 Gigabit Ethernet – connect this
one to your network. The 100 Megabit Ethernet port is not used – do not connect anything
to this port.
Consult the wiring diagram on page 1‑55 for detailed information.
LIO-48 - Multiple Port Logic I/O BLADE
Wheatstone’s new LIO‑48 is a high‑density logic BLADE for the WheatNet‑IP Intelligent
Network that can handle all those new conditional logic functions needed for today’s busy
studios. The LIO-48 provides 48 universal logic I/O ports, each individually configu
‑
rable, for turning devices on or off by time or event, for automatically adjusting the audio
