Lawo @ ISE 2019

SMART IP network monitoring & telemetry and IP signal processing & control solutions on show

German manufacturer Lawo will focus on its latest native IP signal processing, control and monitoring solutions, namely the V__matrix Software-defined IP-Routing, Processing & Multi-Viewing Platform, the Power Core Audio Engine, the SMART System Monitoring and Realtime Telemetry for IP Networks, the VisTool GUI Builder and the VSM independent, overarching control system.

Lawo’s V__matrix ecosystem is based on generic high capacity FPGA based core processing modules upon which software-defined Virtual Modules (VM) are loaded to create the functionality required. Multiple cores are connected through redundant 40GE (or 4x10GE) Ethernet interfaces to an IP network to form a distributed IP routing and processing matrix that provides frame-accurate, clean switching just like a legacy baseband matrix.

The Lawo Power Core is a networked 19”/1RU Audio Processing unit with unprecedented processing capacity providing 96 fully equipped DSP channels, 80 summing busses and a 1,920x1,920 routing matrix. The eight rear side slots accept any variety of IO cards for Mic, Line, AES, MADI and headphone interfaces in addition to the unit’s IP and MADI connectivity. Besides standard audio processing like dynamics and EQs, Power Core also features advanced audio assist systems like one-touch AutoGain and 32 instances of AutoMix for automatically maintaining the balance of open mics.
