Lawo's mc²36 live
mixing desk

L

awo, German manufacturer of
network, control, video and audio
technology for broadcast, live and
theatre applications, is presenting
pioneering IP video and audio
processing and routing tools as well as
IP-based digital audio mixing consoles
and audio routers during the show.
Also being showcased is Lawo's
world-renowned VSM control system,
currently used in the most complex
production scenarios around the world
including Al Jazeera Media Network,
BeIn Sports' Playout Center and Al
Kass' latest OB van.
Video Processing & Routing
On show is Lawo's IP-based V__line
video interfacing, processing and
routing devices. The V__remote4 is
a bidirectional multichannel video/
audio to IP-interface for remote
production. It is designed to provide
a one-box solution for all the
requirements of video and audio
signal transport and processing in
WAN-based
remote
productions,
including everything from Video-overIP coding to various monitoring and
processing tools.
The
V__pro8
provides
video
processing, interconnecting signals
in different video formats, as well as
bridging between audio and video
within a studio infrastructure via highdensity audio connections.

The V__pro8's DOLBY E® encoding/
decoding option offers up to four
DOLBY E encoders/decoders for
fully-compatible encoding/decoding
of professional quality multichannel
audio on a single AES3 connection
with Dolby E metadata handling. In
combination with the unit's Dolby
E Auto Aligner, the V__pro 8 is the
perfect transmission path gateway for
multichannel productions.
Control Solutions By Lawo
With
Lawo's
VSM
System
(Virtual Studio Manager), Lawo
will
demonstrate
sophisticated
and flexible broadcast control and
monitoring for both baseband and IPbased broadcast installations.
VSM allows for managing all TV and
radio production equipment within a
single system, providing unmatched
benefits in advanced workflows and
simplified production operation. The
system controls all major brands and
models of video and audio routers,
video and audio mixers, intercoms,
under-monitor displays (UMD) and
multiviewers, glue equipment, and
other third-party devices.
Audio Console Lawo mc²36
Lawo's mc²36 all-in-one live mixing
desk provides a comprehensive
feature set covering broadcast,
theatre, house of worship, live and

Lawo's IP-based V__line
routing

install applications.
The
console
features
uncompromised sound quality and
Lawo-grade mic preamps, offering
unprecedented value for money. A
powerful DSP micro-core with internal
512x512 port audio matrix, and
integrated I/O make it ideally suited to
permanent installations with limited
space. As it is natively equipped with
RAVENNA/AES67 technology, the
mc²36 integrates seamlessly into IP
infrastructures.
In combination with the Nova37
audio router and mc² Compact I/O
stageboxes as well as A__line audioto-IP interfaces, multiple mc²36
can be easily combined to
a very smart package for
networked applications in
live performance, installed
sound and houses of worship.
Lawo Compact Engine
Lawo's
Compact
Engine
brings
R A V E N N A /
AES67 capability
to a variety of
traditional (non-networked) audio
equipment. This 19-inch 1RU device
delivers an impressive array of
analogue and baseband-digital inputs
and outputs to interface to virtually
anything. It's the perfect product
when you're ready to begin the
transition to IP, but not quite ready to
toss out everything and begin anew.
In addition to being a powerful AoIP
audio interface, the Compact Engine
has a powerful DSP resource onboard.
Use the DSP for EQ and dynamics,
mixing and routing, precision delay
and other functions. Using VisTool,
the powerful touchscreen-optimised
control software, and a networked
computer, you can build custom
control panels or touch-based mixing
consoles to control your Compact
Engine.

RƎLAY Virtual Radio Mixer
RƎLAY VRX is a multi-touch enabled
virtual mixing software that acts as a
"virtual radio environment", hosting
software apps that eliminate the need
for expensive hardware peripherals.
Taking advantage of computer
virtualisation technology adapted
from the IT industry, RƎLAY VRX lets
engineers replace physical consoles,
and entire racks of accessory gear,
with a single desktop or laptop
PC - with significant cost savings.
RƎLAY is perfect for remote kits,
field journalists, fast setup of onlocation studios, webcasting - even
as a replacement for older studio
hardware or as a permanent personal
studio.
RƎLAY VRX4 (four-fader) and VRX8

alone, or bundled with a Lawo OnAir
4 audio interface for professional
mic, line, AES3 and RAVENNA / AES67
I/O. A heavy-duty RƎLAY backpack
with space for a laptop, mic and
headphones is included in these
bundles.
