Lawo goes to InfoComm with its AV solutions based on IP and managed by HOME

in InfoComm, Lawo is presenting its solutions for the AV industry based on the IP management platform, HOME. In addition, is unveiling the MC²36 XP and MC²56 audio production consoles, equipped with the A__UHD Core audio engine.

HOME, The Enterprise Management Platform Lawo for IP media infrastructures, The manufacturer's presence at the fair is the protagonist InfoComm 2023, to be held in Orlando. Among other novelties, It is also conducting demonstrations of the audio production consoles MC²36 XP and MC²56, both equipped with the audio engine A__UHD Core.

With the new mc²36 xp table, Lawo has developed an audio production console whose control surface is identical to that of the mc²36 MkII and its number of available faders (16, 32 Or 48), but that depends on the external DSP processing of a A__UHD Core processing unit.

The add-on for audio setups that include multiple mc²56 and/or mc²96 consoles, The MC²36 XP provides the same consistent workflow in locations where space is tight or fewer channels are required.

Supports up to 256 DSP channels and offers Lawo's audio quality, IP network and processing redundancy, as well as optional multi-cut console array capability using a single A__UHD shared core.

With the optional license Pooling 8, the DSP power of a A__UHD core can be shared across eight virtual or physical console surfaces, enabling cost-effective audio processing. MC²36 XP supports operation at 48 kHz and 96 khz, state-of-the-art immersive audio mixing and all relevant IP standards (ST2110, Ravenna/AES67, ST2022-7). It's native to HOME and offers seamless data portability with its mc² siblings.

Optimized for modern IP-based production environments, Lawo mc²56 audio production console offers native SMPTE support 2110, Ravenna/AES67, dante (via a Power Core gateway), MADI and Ember+.

As for local I/O, Includes 16 MIC Inputs/Lawo Quality Line, 16 line outputs, eight AES3 inputs and outputs, eight GPI/O and one local MADI port (SFP).

The mc²56 is powered by the software-defined A__UHD Core audio engine with intuitive HOME functionality, including intuitive access to Lawo's A__line stage boxes and third-party and native HOME I/O. Can be shared up to 1.024 MC²-quality DSP channels across multiple consoles thanks to a flexible licensing system. An Optional Pooling License 8 allows you to share the processing weight of a A__UHD Core with up to seven other physical or headless consoles.

Microservices

HOME, Lawo's management platform for IP-based media infrastructures, It's built natively on a cloud-enabled microservices architecture, allowing users to connect, Manage and secure networked production configurations from scratch.

It also provides centralized access and control for all Lawo and third-party certified devices within one configuration. HOME creates a powerful and agile network from a variety of devices, facilities, Locations, Hubs & Data Centers, quickly and safely.

On the other hand, Broad support for NMOS IS has just been announced-04 and IS-05 which involves seamless integration of NMOS devices into the HOME environment and "NMOS translations" of native HOME devices into an NMOS environment.

With your HOME apps, Lawo presents the abstraction of media streaming and processing functionality from hardware that does the heavy lifting of computing. The available applications are: Multiviewer, UDX Conversion with HDR Processing, Stream Transcoder and Graphic Inserter.

Run on standard on-premise servers, in private data centers or in the public cloud, and are managed and controlled through HOME's unified user interface.

Designed to deliver Lawo's processing quality in ingenious container software, HOME apps can be instantly turned on and off via HOME's intuitive user interface, that will comfortably retain your configuration for future use.

The use of the applications is based on perpetual licenses for constant and long-term availability, if desired. The Lawo Flex model, On the other hand, Provides relief at peak times and relieves operators of pressure (and budgetary constraints) to properly plan the project for the dedicated hardware lifecycle, with little or no wiggle room once the budget has been approved.

HOME Apps is compatible with SMPTE ST2110, NDI, SRT and JPEG XS, and are compact, purpose-built microservices that run in containers to ensure maximum agility.

Thanks to the native integration of Lawo apps with HOME, Operators enjoy a simple user experience, Fast & Optimized. They are free to run HOME applications only when and where they need them, No lengthy setup sessions or expert knowledge.
