Virtual mixing

Wheatstone has released its VMX virtual mixing platform, a server-based and web browser accessible for mixing in any environment on a variety of devices, from recessed touchscreens in the studio to tablets in the ballpark. VMX can be installed on an existing server or a dedicated appliance and offers a selection of tiles, including basic utility mixers, a simple virtual mixing interface and complete virtual broadcast consoles for the television newsroom or the radio on-air studio.

Virtual consoles are accessible through a web browser, making VMX suitable for quickly adding newsrooms, control rooms, voice track booths and remote mixing instances on demand, complete with backup mirroring synchronised in real time for instantaneous failover. The platform is AES67 compliant with an easy-to-install setup wizard. It forms part of Wheatstone’s Layers software-based broadcast suite for virtualising studio functions as an extension of the WheatNet IP audio network.
