Lawo Brings Industry Developments To IBC
At IBC, Lawo will showcase their latest
developments offering a more flexible approach...

awo is using IBC to demonstrate
how broadcasters can leverage
IP networks for real-time video
contribution.
The additional flexibility offered
by the use of present-day IP
infrastructures promises to reshape
broadcasters' approach to many
aspects of their work. This includes
their studio facilities, OB trucks as
well as the integration of remote
live production with their 'home'
facilities. The V__link4 four-channel
IP Interface provides video-overIP, audio-over-IP and control-overIP, and is helping broadcasters to
take major steps in the evolution
of broadcast production. Alongside
this, Lawo will be showcasing
a new console, which offers
advanced mixing and routing at a
new entry point.

Trend Reflections

Reflecting the latest currents,
dynamics, requirements and desires
that are driving the broadcast world
today, we see video and audio
technologies converging and
exploiting IP technology.
The transitions from analogue

to digital working and from SD to
HD - which are not themselves yet
complete - have now expanded to
include the uptake IP infrastructures.
This direction requires the ways
in which manufacturers, production
companies, system integrators and
service providers presently regard
the broadcast industry to be carefully
and thoroughly re-examined.
This a prerequisite to changing
our vision for new developments,
and also to help broadcasters
in their drive to produce greater
amounts of high-quality content
for a variety of delivery platforms
with fewer resources.
This can only be achieved by
improved flexibility and efficiency
on every level.

IP Networks

With SMPTE 2022 ser ving
video and R AVENNA /AES67
serving audio, we are starting
to make grassroots changes to
the broadcast industry, since
manufacturers are increasingly
compelled adopt these standards
and adapt their products.
The transfer of video and audio

signals will inevitably become both
easier and more efficient through the
use of IP networks - feeds that are
uploaded to the IP cloud and can be
accessed and used anywhere that
there is network access. Cameras at
sports grounds will no longer require
individual cabling to an OB van, but
need only to be connected to the
cloud - one cable into a venue will
be sufficient for all communications.
OB vans can then be interconnected
via the cloud, and thus share the
original feeds.
Among other IP pioneers, German
national public broadcasters ARD
and ZDF made extensive use of IP
networking with Lawo equipment
in their live coverage of the 2014
Brazil FIFA World Cup tournament.
Broadcasting from a rooftop
studio at the Copacabana Hotel,
they operated without an OB
van - instead, the location studio
delivered the remote production via
IP to the main studio control room in

TV pictures from the rooftop World Cup studio at the Copacabana are shared by both channels (national public
broadcasters ARD and ZDF), and offer stunning views across Rio de Janeiro

the International Broadcast Centre
35 km distant.
Such an IP network can be easily
expanded, and connections can be
set up and changed as simply as a
mouse click. The IP approach will
boost efficiency in production of TV
programmes on all levels.
Another persuasive feature of the
uptake of these new standards is
that they will protect broadcasters'
investments, as facilities and
mobile units will be able to freely
integrate systems from different
manufacturers.

Industry Direction

To sum up: we at Lawo feel that our
industry is developing in a direction
that we have already anticipated
and promoted actively through realtime Video-over-IP technology and
the AES67-compatible RAVENNA
IP broadcast standard. Lawo's
present product portfolio also
reflects our early perception that
video and audio are growing
together in an IP world. The industry
is poised to see groundbreaking
changes - these will bring new
challenges for broadcasters
and manufacturers, but also
considerable benefits to both.
Lawo has been a supporter of
IBC since its first appearance at
the show in Amsterdam in the late
1990s. Then, the German company
was preparing to expand its profile
on the international stage.
In the intervening years, IBC
has consistently provided a
platform for the presentation of
current technologies, ongoing
developments and visions of future
broadcasting - an ideal opportunity
for Lawo to demonstrate its role in
an innovative-driven environment.
