Lawo

Opening new horizons in broadcast technology for over 50 years

Broadcast and media technologies have been significantly advanced by innovations from Lawo for more than 50 years. Widely used in sport and entertainment broadcasting, theatre, houses of worship, institutions and corporate settings, Lawo brings cuttingedge engineering to IP infrastructures, video processing and routing, A/V-over-IP interfacing and audio mixing and routing. Lawo’s VSM and SMART offer best-in-class studio and workflow management and real-time monitoring/telemetry. A founding member of the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS), Lawo continues to champion interoperability and open standards; ST2110 features throughout Lawo’s product range are easing the industry’s transition to IP-based workflows.

Award-Winning, Future-Oriented, Tailored to Customer Success

Lawo’s accolades include an Emmy Engineering Plaque, the Broadcast / Media Project of the Year IABM Award for Elbphilharmonie Hamburg opera house’s IP installation, and countless industry magazine awards. In 2019, the European Parliament and Lawo won the Public Sector Project of the Year AV Awards. And when Coldplay livestreamed their ‘Sunrise’ and ‘Sunset’ sets from Jordan’s Amman Citadel to release their Everyday Life album, they were mixed on a Lawo console. Lawo carried out the first fully remote FAT in April 2020, followed by many more remote supervision and configuration projects worldwide.

Broadcast Control, Multiviewers and Monitoring

Lawo’s Virtual Studio Manager (VSM) brings IP-based control and workflow to OB, studio and

MCR applications in TV and radio. Device agnostic, VSM controls all major video/audio routers and mixers, intercoms, UMDs and multiviewers, glue and other third-party baseband and IP devices. SMART System Monitoring and Realtime Telemetry software for broadcast networks provides network and data health transparency across all-IP, all-SDI and hybrid WAN/LAN infrastructures. For signal monitoring, the V__matrix based vm_dmv distributed IP multiviewer app provides high-quality functionality for 4k/3G/HD/SD. For OTT/playout, Lawo’s LVP LiveView Multi-Image Processor enables the vm_dmv multiviewer to show both production (SDI/ ST2110/ ST2022-6) and transmission (MPEG-2/H.264/HEVC/ OTT-ABR) formats on a single screen.

Video Solutions for IP Setups

Lawo’s award-winning V__matrix software-defined IP platform uses

multiple cores and a highcapacity COTS switch with redundant 10GbE/40GbE connectivity as a distributed IP routing/processing matrix for frame-accurate switching. C100 processing blades provide physical signal connectivity, virtual module apps with VSM control layer allow remapping entire workflows in minutes. Continent-wide and intercontinental remote productions from NEP Australia’s Andrews Hubs in Sydney and Melbourne use V__matrix infrastructure. Virtual modules handle streaming, video processing and multiviewing, with the V__matrix vm_udx app providing SD, HD and 4K format conversion with HDR capability. V__remote4 is a bidirectional multichannel video/ audio-to-IP interface for WAN-based remote production, V__pro8 bridges diverse video and audio formats for SDI-based video processing. Dolby E encoding/decoding is also available.

IP Audio Production Solutions

Lawo’s A__UHD Core is the nextgeneration audio engine for mc² audio production consoles, significantly reducing physical footprint and power requirements. A network-based, software-defined IP DSP engine with unparalleled processing density, its 1,024 DSP channels can be utilised by one mc² console for challenging productions or be shared amongst multiple consoles for space-efficient resource pooling with Lawo’s IP Easy functionality making IP setup for mc² consoles as simple as analogue. The latest line-up of mc²56 and mc²96 consoles features the new, budget-friendly mc²36 mkII all-in-one mixer, now charged with A__ UHD Core power and designed for any broadcast, theatre, houses of worship, live or installed sound application. A__line Audioto-IP interfaces provide WAN capable transport of analogue and digital audio compatible with ST2110-30/-31/ AES67/ RAVENNA audio-over-IP.

Radio Broadcast

Lawo radio consoles are native AES67/ RAVENNA devices, designed for stand-alone or networked operations. Lawo’s ruby desk brings multi-touch onscreen control to today’s networked studios; for self-ops, crystal consoles provide full features with intuitive operation. VisTool supports custom status displays, tablet and touchscreen-based button panels and mixing controllers. And R LAY VRX mixing software is a ‘virtual radio environment’ perfect for remote kits, ENG, webcasting and personal studios.
