IBC2023: Lawo to showcase enhanced IP solutions

Lawo’s Home apps will take centre stage at IBC2023. These applications, including Home Multiviewer, Home UDX Converter, Home Stream Transcoder, and Home Graphic Inserter, harness the power of a flexible microservice architecture. They deliver exceptional processing capabilities with minimal compute power and energy consumption, allowing customers to adapt swiftly to changing requirements and budget conditions, according to Lawo.

Home apps support SMPTE ST2110, SRT, JPEG XS and NDI for increasingly mixed technology environments, and can easily adapt to new format requirements as these become relevant. They run on standard servers on-premise, in remote data centres, or in the public cloud.

Lawo will also present an evolution in processing power for the .edge hyper-density SDI/IP conversion and routing platform. Through licensable options such as proxy generation and JPEG XS compression, Lawo addresses bandwidth constraints, streamlining IP pipelines and optimising workflows. It provides JPEG XS encoding and decoding for high-density compression in remote workflows and for other applications with a tight bandwidth offering. The company stresses that all standard or add-on SDI input functionality (audio shuffling, gearboxing and frame sync) is maintained.

Lawo’s commitment to empowering live productions will be evident in the V10.8 software release for the mc²/A__UHD Core/Power Core platform. With features such as flexible bus routing, expanded aux count (up to 256 busses), QSC Q-Sys proxy integration in Home, remote show control via OSC, and more, Lawo’s platform sets a new benchmark for live performance capabilities. Furthermore, NMOS support for the mc² Gateserver bolsters device compatibility, offering seamless integration into Lawo’s ecosystem.
