Lawo’s new broadcast monitoring solutions at CABSAT

Lawo will present its IP-based broadcast audio and video production, control and monitoring technology alongside its radio product line at CABSAT.

This year’s setup in Dubai includes the V__matrix software-defined IP-routing, processing and multi-viewing platform; Lawo’s VSM (Virtual Studio Manager) broadcast control system as well as the SMART System Monitoring and Realtime Telemetry for broadcast networks. Also on show will be the new mc²56 third-generation production console and the Bundesliga-approved KICK automated mixing control for close-ball mixing. Additionally, Lawo will bring its ruby radio console with its customisable, context-sensitive visual interface and the Power Core Audio Mixing Engine.

Lawo’s V__matrix ecosystem is based on generic high-capacity FPGA-based processing blades upon which software-defined Virtual Modules (VM) are loaded to create the functionality required. The VM range includes the vm_dmv64-4 – the world’s first infinitely expandable true IP multiviewer and the vm__UDX – 4K format converter.

Lawo will demo its VSM IP broadcast control system. VSM brings together all the requirements for a safe and flexible broadcast operation.

Also showcased will be KICK, Lawo’s ball tracking technology for close-ball audio pickup for sports such as soccer, rugby and American football. The system provides transparent sound and excellent ‘kick-to-noise’ ratio, significantly reducing crowd noise. It ensures a consistent audio level without noticeable fades for seamless inclusion in a broadcast mix.

Lawo will also bring the sleek, intuitive, and powerful Ruby mixing console designed for today’s radio. New SMPTE 2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching combined with standards-based AES67 AoIP delivers flawless networking for mission-critical applications.

Stand: Hall 2, D2-20.
