At the 2026 NAB Show, Wheatstone will introduce two products that in tandem it said are suitable for remotes, temporary setups or permanent studios needing a sleeker footprint.
The manufacturer will show off the VMX mixing platform for multiple studios, consoles and grass surfaces, as well as the VML virtual mixing console that runs on any current web browser.
“Together, VMX mix engine platform and VML virtual broadcast console provide an immediate, full-featured mixing environment for remote broadcasts, temporary studios, disaster recovery or for permanent on-air, production and voicetrack studios,” the company said.
VMX is as a single mixing backend for multiple LXE, Glass LXE, Strata and Virtual Strata consoles and surfaces as well as I/O Blade mixers in a WheatNet IP audio networked facility.
VML is a virtual broadcast console that can be accessed through a web browser via HTML5 for mixing on a laptop, tablet, smartphone or desktop computer.
The company said that VMX can be deployed on a commercial server or PC or on a dedicated appliance made by Wheatstone. Its intended use is to eliminate racks for mix engines for each console along with the associated engineering, wiring and real estate costs, according to the company.
The new server platform and HTML5 virtual broadcast console are part of Wheatstone’s Layers software-based broadcast suite for virtualizing audio processing, mixing and streaming as an extension of the WheatNet IP audio network.
