Lawo To Demonstrate New Console At IBC2014

Lawo is to demonstrate in Hall 8, Booth B50 at this year's IBC to address audio and video broadcast, software solutions and workflow optimisation issues.

On Friday 12 September 2014, at noon, the company will present the IBC audience in Amsterdam with a new audio mixing console.
The new crystal radio console offers out-of-the-box functionality. crystal has a re-designed user surface in an ultra-slim chassis and a new ergonomic handrest.
The updated crystal base unit features power supply redundancy and optimised expansion slots for easy addition of I/O cards. crystal consoles offer seamless integration with leading radio automation systems, including ENCO, RCS, Dalet and Radiomax.
The touchscreen-optimised VisTool PC software provides additional functionality and visualisation beyond the limitations of hardware user interfaces, e.g. of DSP parameters, signal levels, and the snapshot database.
Accompanying the hardware console is the fully touchscreen-based crystalCLEAR virtual radio mixing console.
Also on show will be the mc²56 and the mc²66 audio mixing consoles in different frame sizes, providing features including advanced AutoMix, which enabled the production of 32 feeds from just two operators at the recent Brazil football event.
Lawo's RAVENNA-based commentary solution is dedicated to use in world-class sports and cultural event broadcasts, including this year's broadcasts from the Brazil venues of the world's most prominent football contest. It is tailored to the needs of today's live broadcast productions and offers all modules for a comprehensive commentary system from a single source.
Lawo will demonstrate a fully working IP-based stagebox solution for video, audio, intercom and control at IBC. The system is based on Lawo's new V__link4 video-over-IP interfaces and can operate in local stagebox applications (e.g. an OB truck) as well as in IP-based remote productions. The example stageboxes being shown include Lawo's V__link4 video-over-IP interfaces, Clear-Com and Riedel intercoms, Ikegami CCUs and cameras, and a Lawo RAVENNA I/O interface. The principal concept behind the IP-based camera hubs is to move the camera CCUs from the truck into the stageboxes.
These hubs are connected via IP to the truck, providing a "one cable into the stadium" approach. Video, audio, communications and camera control data are transported via IP, which reduces cabling and increases the flexibility of any installation by real IP networking. In addition, this approach decreases complex setups of the hardware involved in a truck.
The truck’s camera equipment can be adapted to changing applications, e.g. by moving camera hubs and cameras from one truck to another without effort.
Lawo's V__link4 is a compact 1RU device, designed for production-quality real-time contribution and distribution of 3G/HD/SD-SDI signals via IP networks.
