Streamblade addresses the unique challenges of multiple program streams. It is a 1 RU BLADE unit for streaming applications that features key Wheatstone AoIP, audio processing and codec bandwidth optimization technology. Unique to Streamblade is its five-band AGC with RMS density driven time constants for establishing tonal balance and level consistency between incoming music sources. Unlike the conventional approach of applying multiband gain control followed by fast compression to build uniform loudness and density from one music source to the next, this AGC is designed specifically for streaming applications and eliminates aggressive RMS attack times that can interfere with codec performance. Streamblade 3 streams up to 3 program channels, each with 4 streams, for a total of 12 destinations. Streamblade also has the ability to work as a standalone appliance and does not need to be a part of a WheatNet-IP network.
