Lawo's Engaging
Broadcast Portfolio
German manufacturer Lawo will present its innovative portfolio of
network, audio, video, and control solutions for the world at IBC2016...

L

awo's product ranges include
highly
customisable
control
solutions, digital audio mixing consoles,
routers, video processing tools and IPbased transport and infrastructure
solutions.
All Lawo IP products are futureproof - based on open standards
such as RAVENNA/AES67, TR-03 and
SMPTE2022-6/-7.
In addition to product development
and manufacturing, the company also
provides hire services for audio and
video systems. Lawo's Global Events
division provides turnkey systems to
the world's major sporting events and
theatrical presentations.
This is done with the highest
standard of system-based expertise
that delivers comprehensive solutions
and service, from initial consultation
through to completion of every
project, handling logistics, system
configuration and support, providing
skilled teams with international
experience. Visit Lawo's website for
more information.
Lawo is supporting the MNA initiative
for promoting the AES67 standard with
the adoption and implementation of
AES67 across the full product range.
In order to support the transition
to IP-based infrastructures, Lawo
encourages all manufacturers to
embrace interoperability and open
standards for the benefit of all
customers.
Lawo, a founding member of the
'Alliance for IP Media Solutions'

(AIMS), supports open Video-over-IP
and Audio-over-IP standards. AIMS is
founded to ensure that all video and
audio over IP solutions brought to
market offer complete interoperability
and are based on open standards
for seamless integration into media
workflow environments.
Lawo Focus
The IBC stand will be a focus for
Lawo's pioneering solutions for IP
video core infrastructure and for IPbased remote productions.
In addition to new features in the
existing V__line product range, the
European debut of Lawo's V__matrix,
a software-defined IP-based video
routing & processing platform, will be
one of the show's highlights.
RƎLAY Debut
Lawo will debut the RƎLAY Virtual
Radio Mixer, a powerful mixing
console that runs in a virtualised PC
environment. No racks of gear to
devour space and money - RƎLAY
Virtual Radio Mixers run on a
standard PC or laptop. The intuitive,
multitouch-enabled screen interface
makes RƎLAY easy to use. RƎLAY
is a fully-featured portable studio,
complete with analogue and digital I/O
and four or eight-fader Virtual Mixer.
Just tuck your touchscreen laptop
loaded with RƎLAY software into the
heavy-duty RƎLAY backpack along
with your OnAir 4 audio interface,
grab your favourite mic and headset,
and you're ready to make great radio
from just about anywhere.

Production Kit

VSM Control
The company's showcases also
include VSM, Lawo's independent
broadcast control and monitoring for
both baseband and IP-based broadcast
installations. VSM manages production
equipment, abstracting control from
the physical production hardware and
thus allowing for a seamless transition
from baseband to IP.
VSM provides unmatched support
of control protocols from all major
brands and models of video and audio
routers, video and audio mixers,
intercoms, UMDs and multiviewers,
glue equipment, and other third-party
devices.
On the audio side there will be
significant additions to the mc²
console family, for example, pushing
the envelope for automated high-end
audio sports production even further.
And there will be more

Unit

to be unveiled at the show, so join
Lawo, to be amazed and learn more
about IP workflows.
IP Installation Success
Lawo expect that many broadcasters
from around the world will have taken
notice of the massive IP installation
which was used at the recent football
tournament in France.
Lawo's IP-based stage boxes were
used around the field of play in each
stadium, the commentary system, with
around 500 Lawo Commentary Units,
was completely based on IP, and - last,
but not least - Lawo V__line and VSM
technology was used for the IP-based
contribution of all the video feeds
from all stadiums to the International
Broadcast Center. In fact, this was a
fully IP-based 900x900 video routing
matrix, switchable via VSM without
any SDI routing involved.
At this year's IBC, broadcasters
have the opportunity to
have a closer look at
the technology behind
this and many other
productions, and realise
that, with Lawo IP broadcast
infrastructures,
IP-based
remote
productions are not just a future vision
but a reality today.
See Lawo's stand at IBC2016.
