If you manage a WheatNet IP system, you know WheatNet Navigator is the central configuration software tool used on that platform. In 2021, I prepared a video for the Western Association of Broadcast Engineers virtual convention covering some settings, workflows, and general tips to help make you more proficient… and efficient.

The session was titled “Pointing North: WheatNet Navigator in Practical Terms.” If you missed WABE or just need a refresher, you can watch the entire video below.
