With Lawo’s VSM System (Virtual Studio Manager), Lawo will demonstrate sophisticated broadcast control and monitoring for both baseband- and IP-based 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.

Also on show are 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-over-IP 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 high-density audio connections.
The V__pro8’s new DOLBY E encoding/decoding option offers up to four DOLBY E en/decoders for fully-compatible en/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.
