- Wheatstone Highlights Hitless Failover
Wheatstone is teasing more of its product highlights for the NAB Show. It plans to demonstrate a new hitless switching option to assure zero downtime of critical components in a WheatNet IP audio network. This technology was introduced last year as an option for Wheatstone’s Arcus IP audio console for television sound. Hitless failover redundancy is now an option for the Blade 4 I/O access units and mix engines for LXE and Strata consoles and surfaces. “With this, WheatNet IP audio networked facilities can seamlessly switch to a backup I/O access unit and/or a console mix engine for continuous operation during an emergency,” it said. “Unlike traditional failovers, which can often cause a slight pause while switching to a backup, hitless redundancy eliminates packet loss, making it ideal for live video (SMPTE-2022-7), audio (AES67) and critical network traffic.” The technology features dual mix engines or I/O Blades synchronized in real time. Should a primary Blade 4 or Mix Engine fail, the backup Blade 4 or Mix Engine takes over for uninterrupted service. “A high-frequency ‘heartbeat’ between primary and backup units enables automatic failover, ensuring rapid recovery in the event of a failure. Active and standby unit statuses are displayed in WheatNet IP Navigator management software, with manual failover options available for controlled transitions during upgrades or maintenance.” Wheatstone also plans to show the Audioarts DMX 12 console for single or networked studios. DMX 12 “DMX 12 is ready for air and comes with a rackmount engine with audio, logic, I/O and expansion ports for just about any studio configuration,” it said. “Included is a five port Ethernet switch as well as WheatNet IP audio network connectivity.” The DMX line also is available in eight- and 16-channel configurations. We noted earlier that at NAB the company will show the VMX mixing platform as well as the VML virtual mixing console.

The Federal Communications Commission has sent a notice of unlicensed operation in the 11 GHz band to an internet service provider in the Sierra Nevada foothill region of California. Conifer Communications is an ISP based in Groveland. The FCC said it was transmitting on 10.915 GHz for over a year after its license had expired. That part of the radio spectrum is allocated by the commission for common carrier and fixed point-to-point microwave operations. The San Francisco office of the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau said that it received a complaint of an unlicensed station operating atop Moccasin Peak. Last September, according to the commission’s account, agents confirmed that Conifer Communications was transmitting with a license that expired in February 2024 and had not been renewed. The Enforcement Bureau warned that operating radio transmitting equipment without authorization is a violation of federal law and could subject Conifer to monetary fines and seizure of the equipment. Conifer Communications must discontinue operations immediately and must not resume. It also has 10 days from the date of the notice to respond with any evidence that it has authority to operate.

Democratic strategist James Carville said one does not need to be a physician to see that President Donald Trump is mentally “deteriorating.” Trump held a press conference at the White House on Monday amid the ongoing war in Iran. On Sunday, he warned Iran that he would bomb the country’s power plants and other civilian infrastructure if it does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, writing on Truth Social, “Open the F*ckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards.” Trump signed off the post by writing, “Praise be to Allah. President Donald J. Trump.” Carville appeared on Monday’s edition of The Beat on MS NOW, where host Ari Melber noted the growing discontent among some MAGA commentators, including Alex Jones, who last week said it is time to “cut bait on Trump.” “I’m gonna show you Alex Jones, not because he’s a source for anything true,” Melber told Carville. But only because he has been in this right-wing swamp.” “They’ve closed the strait,” Jones said in the clip. “It’s killing the economy. America is sinking in global rankings, likability. It’s just not what we voted for. We’ve never seen rhetoric out of presidents like this when we go to war, even if you’re for this war. This is really bad PR, folks. This is what I’m talking about, the way Trump’s behaving, way more erratic. His speech is not coherent all the time. You can’t deny this is happening. This is a clown show, folks, and I’m really worried.” Carville reacted: You don’t have to be a neurologist or Dr. Jonathan Reiner or anything like that. We’ve all had experience with people aging. We’ve all had this experience. And you could just look at the guy as just an average person and say, “This man is deteriorating at a really rapid rate.” I don’t know, I mean, but it’s evident. I mean, Alex Jones sees it, you see, can see it all over the right. Got Megyn Kelly and Tucker [Carlson] fighting with Mark Levin. I can’t even keep track of all of them. They hate each other when they hate us. Watch above via MS NOW.The post James Carville Says Trump Is Losing It: ‘This Man Is Deteriorating at a Really Rapid Rate’ first appeared on Mediaite.

AP Photo/Tom Brenner The Dispatch’s national correspondent Kevin Williamson eviscerated Pam Bondi’s tenure as Attorney General in a column Monday, accusing her of having presided over “a crime spree” and calling for the Florida Bar to disbar her. Last Thursday, President Donald Trump announced that Bondi was leaving her position as Attorney General, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche would step into the role on an interim basis. Rumors had been circulating for weeks that the president was unhappy with Bondi’s work as AG for multiple reasons, but especially her handling of the Epstein files. Earlier this month, Bondi had back-to-back appearances before congressional committees on the topic of the deceased child sex predator that were widely viewed as a disaster. Still, Trump maintains he is still happy with Bondi and wished her well in her future private sector gig. The matter seems far from settled for Bondi’s numerous critics on both sides of the aisle, including both MAGA Republicans frustrated with the lack of new prosecutions from the Epstein files and those who have denounced many of the DOJ’s prosecutions under her leadership as unconstitutional, politically motivated, or otherwise improper. Williamson focused on Bondi’s use of prosecutions as a form of “political vendetta” in his column on Monday, which was titled “Justice, Upside Down.” The former attorney general “is an exemplary specimen of the sort of people who thrive in Donald Trump’s orbit: She is in a profound moral sense a criminal, but we lack an appropriate law under which to prosecute her,” wrote Williamson, declaring Bondi’s 14 months leading DOJ as using “her official duties” to conduct “a crime spree.” “Her legacy is that she used the DOJ to launch a series of pretextual criminal investigations and prosecutions targeting the president’s political enemies, even when there was not the hint of an actual legal case to be made against them,” listing numerous local officials in Minnesota, Democratic elected officials, and several former Trump administration officials who had become targets of the president’s wrath — and ended up facing a prosecution from a DOJ run by his appointees as a result. Bondi accomplished “very little” while she was at DOJ other than abuse the awesome powers of the DOJ to abuse, harass, and conduct retribution against the president’s political enemies,” he added, other than the surreal photo-op where she handed out “a bunch of fake ‘Epstein files’ binders” to… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Dan Abrams Calls Out the Right’s ‘Hypocrisy’ In Ignoring Trump Comment On ...Dan Abrams called out the “hypocrisy” from right-leaning pundits who criticized CBS anchor Margaret Brennan for seeming uncomfortable with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth urging Americans to pray for the military last month — only to then say nothing when President Donald Trump said saying “God is good” sounds like “something a Muslim would say.” Abrams, the founder of Mediaite, what he viewed as a double standard on his SiriusXM radio program on Monday. The president made the aforementioned comment a day earlier in an interview with Axios, while commenting on the second F-15 crew member saying “God is good” when they ejected from their plane; the airman was later saved on Sunday in a daring rescue mission. He said the lack of outrage from conservatives stands out, considering many lambasted Brennan just a few weeks ago for a similar remark. “For her to get assailed like that, including by the White House, for just making that comment, and then Donald Trump says he thinks ‘God is good’ is a Muslim statement — you tell me how those things fit,” Abrams said. Abrams was referring to the blowback Brennan received for posting the following on X on March 19: “The Secretary of Defense tells the American public to pray for our troops on bended knee and invoke Jesus’ name….” Her statement came in response to Hegseth invoking Jesus Christ and asking Americans to pray for the military during the Iran war. “May Almighty god continue to bless our troops in this fight. And again to the American people, please pray for them. Every day. On bended knee, with your family, in your schools, in your churches, in the name of Jesus Christ,” Hegseth said. Brennan drew criticism from many on the right, including Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) and radio host Jesse Kelly. The White House’s Rapid Response 47 account skewered Brennan as well — posting, “Only a leftist ‘reporter’ would be offended by praying for our troops.” The Secretary of Defense tells the American public to pray for our troops on bended knee and invoke Jesus' name…. — Margaret Brennan (@margbrennan) March 19, 2026 Abrams on Monday said he had no issue with Hegseth’s comment, and further made clear he has the “utmost admiration and respect for this airman who both figured out how to save himself — in many ways, to save the country from… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Key Journo Defiant Amid Trump Hunt For Leaker: ‘I Will Protect My Sources’
President Donald Trump arrives from the Blue Room to speak about the Iran war from the Cross Hall of the White House on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, Pool) President Donald Trump sparked a wave of speculation and intrigue on Monday when he announced that his administration was hunting for an alleged leaker and he threatened a journalist at an unnamed “media company” to give up its source or face jail for reporting on the rescue of the first downed airman in Iran late last week. Amit Segal, a political pundit and reporter at Israel’s Channel 12, was among the first on Friday to report the airman had been rescued, which led to speculation that he may be the journalist Trump was referring to. Trump fumed during the presser, saying, “But we have to find that leaker, because that’s a sick person. Probably didn’t realize the extent of how bad it was — I can’t imagine that the person did. But we’re going to find out. It’s national security.” “And the person that did the story will go to jail if he doesn’t say. And that doesn’t last long. And I think everybody would understand that. They put this mission at great risk,” Trump added. Trump’s comments appeared, however, to be aimed at an American journalist, given the limited jurisdiction the U.S. would have to jail or pressure a foreign-based journalist. The New York Post’s Caitlin Doornbos explained the timeline around Segal’s reporting last Friday, noting: The Post was unable to immediately find the clip, but Channel 12 reporter Amit Segal posted the information to X at 11:19 a.m on Friday. “Western source: One of the American crew members was successfully rescued,” he wrote. Segal, a close ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party, spoke to Doornbos about Trump’s comments. “I’m not sure I was the first,” Segal said about the report the airman had been rescued, which meant the other was still unaccounted for. “And anyway — I will protect my sources,” Segal told Doornbos. Axios’s Barak Ravid confirmed the news shortly after Segal’s report, making him among other U.S.-based outlets, like CBS and the Washington Post, to quickly run with the story.The post Key Journo Defiant Amid Trump Hunt For Leaker: ‘I Will Protect My Sources’ first appeared on Mediaite.
