Lawo will launch new IP broadcast product ranges
The Power Core remote audio mixing engine, the WAN-capable A__line AoIP interfaces and the V__remote4 video-over-IP contribution product make up Lawo’s remote product line.
The Power Core is a native IP Audio I/O and DSP remote production node, featuring WAN-capability, with low-latency on-site audio processing for monitoring and IFB mixing.
The Power Core features 48 processing channels, allowing for remote control of all relevant channel parameters (Gain, Fader, Mute, EQ, Dynamics and Aux Send Level) from mc² consoles.
Featuring touch-screen optimized control GUI for on site and remote operation, the Power Core also provides network-link redundancy via SMPTE 2022-7 seamless protection switching.
Lawo’s broadcast production product portfolio includes the V_matrix software defined IP routing, processing and multi-viewing platform: based on FPGA-based processing blades, with software-defined virtual modules (VM) loaded on to create functionality.
The range of VMs include the vm_dmv64-4 IP multiviewer and the vm_UDX – 4K format converter.
Multiple cores are connected through redundant 40GE (or 4x10GE) Ethernet interfaces to an IP network, forming a distributed IP routing and processing matrix to provide clean switching like a legacy baseband matrix.
Lawo is also launching its smart system monitoring and real-time telemetry for broadcast networks and the mc²56 3rd Generation production console including the A__UHD Core ultra-high-density network-based, software-defined audio DSP engine.
A_UHD Core is a network-based audio DSP engine, featuring >1000 mc² DSP channels that can be utilized by a single mc² console, with the ability to be shared with up to four consoles.
Eight independent 10/1GbE network interfaces with SFPs allow for the use of redundant networks via ST2022-7 seamless protection switching (SPS). The A_UHD Core’s network I/O capacity equals 40,000 48kHz/24bit audio channels, with two redundant RJ45 1GbE management ports provided.
The setup includes Kick, an automated mixing control for close-ball audio pickup. .
The mc²56 (3rd Generation) provides a ‘LiveView’ thumbnail preview of video streams directly in the fader strip, featuring full native support for SMPTE 2110, AES67 / Ravenna, Dante and MADI audio streams.
Lawo is also unveiling its Smart range, including the smartDASH system monitoring and real-time telemetry, vendor-agnostic enterprise software for network and media visibility across an all-IP, all-SDI or hybrid WAN/LAN broadcast infrastructure. The smartSCOPE deep packet inspection and network analyser is also being launched, a media-agnostic analysis platform for IP flows in live production delivery.
BVE will run at the ExCel, London, United Kingdom from 26 - 28 February 2019.
