Following its unveiling at this year's NAB show, IBC marks the European debut of Lawo's V__matrix software-defined IP core for broadcast (Hall 8 Stand B50).
The German technical innovator has developed a software-defined IP core routing and processing platform based on established data center principles - flexibility, fabric computing and COTS economics are leveraged to provide a completely virtualized real-time broadcast production infrastructure. V__matrix uses multiple cores connected to a high-capacity COTS switch with redundant 10GE and 40GE connections to form a distributed IP routing and processing matrix with frame-accurate, clean switching - just like a legacy baseband matrix.
Employing generic high-capacity core processing blades, software-defined Virtual Modules can be loaded to create any required functionality, enabling entire workflows to be remapped in minutes as requirements change from production to production. Core processing blades are housed in 1, 2 or 3 RU frames, with physical connectivity to legacy SDI equipment provided through optional V__matrix I/O cards using Lawo's VSM Broadcast Control and Monitoring system as the control layer.
The system supports switching and routing of signals both in the IP and SDI domains, and includes the Lawo Routing Layer Control for video routing with frame-accurate clean switching in the IP domain, as well as control and monitoring for existing legacy SDI infrastructure and third-party IP equipment.
Use of an IP-based platform allows V__matrix to be deployed anywhere from an OB truck or TV studio to a broadcast operation center to create a virtualized core infrastructure for live production. Since the capabilities of the system and the functionality of the signal chains are not defined by physical connectivity of hardware modules, routing and processing can either be decentralized and spread over one or more facilities or centralized in a fixed facility or OB truck.
Function-agnostic core processing hardware allows an operator to build complex workflows by simply loading and running the appropriate Virtual Modules, which can be changed on-the-fly during runtime as production demands change. By cascading multiple Virtual Modules together, the V__matrix can be scaled linearly up to thousands of SDI I/O and audio/video processing functions for unparalleled flexibility, versatility and cost-efficiency.
Lawo CEO Philipp Lawo says: V__matrix delivers a truly future-proof core infrastructure based on open standards with significantly less rack-space, lower power consumption and fewer restrictions for the broadcast operation. We are very excited to be able to offer the ability to transform any broadcast installation into a flexible, future-proof production facility, addressing a wide range of workflows and supporting the transition to a totally IP-based environment.
V__matrix is fully based on open standards in-line with the AIMS roadmap: SMPTE 2022-6/-7, VSF TR-03/04, AES67 plus SMPTE VC-2 and Ember+ and ensures the customer's transition to a total IP-based broadcast environment.
Building on more than 45 years of experience of professional broadcast technology, Lawo has established itself as the leader in IP technology for professional broadcast (network, audio, video, control), and is able to supply complete IP infrastructures from its product range.
Lawo Adds to the Mix at IBC
German technology pioneer Lawo brings the latest addition to its mc performance broadcast audio mixing console range to IBC (Hall 8, Stand B50).
The Lawo mc 56xc is the latest addition to the company's successful mc family, and is offered in 32-, 48-, 64- and 80-fader versions. With native RAVENNA/AES67 support and a powerful Lawo Nova73 core, the consoles support up to 888 fully configured DSP channels, up to 144 summing buses and have an 8,192 x 8,192 mono-channel matrix capacity. An updated operator interface features an overbridge with super-bright 21.5-inch HD touchscreens, button-glow for color-coding and enhanced user guidance.
Combining the audio processing capabilities of the mc series with the sophisticated touchscreen operation from the Lawo mc 56 and the extended control interface from the mc 66, this console is the ultimate tool for demanding engineers with a need for extraordinary performance. The mc 56xc's extended free control section gives direct access to even more parameters giving perfect balance between channel strip and central section control workflows.
The console supports both global and individual parameter assignments of all free controls in each channel strip, with color-coded indication for a perfect at-a-glance overview of user-defined functionality. The mc 56xc can be custom configured to address a wide range of workflow requirements. The metering bridge shows all fader levels clearly on the console's HD touchscreen displays, with multi-row metering for easy viewing of signals from other layers or banks. For further customization the overbridge also accommodates integration of additional modules such as a user panel or RTW goniometer.
Lawo supports MNA and AIMS
Lawo is supporting the MNA initiative for promoting the AES67 standard with the adoption and implementation of AES67 across its 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. The company is also a founding member of the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS), 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 in
