Lawo Selected For Sky Germany SNG Fleet
Lawo has announced it is to supply seven of its mc²36 live broadcast audio mixing consoles to Sky Germany's new SNG fleet. The fleet will be used in sports news HD and live sports production.
Each console is configured with 16 faders, 192 DSP channels and a routing capacity of 512 x 512 crosspoints. The mc²36 mixing consoles allow simple switching for a live news channel to complex three-camera assignments with live commentary, plus future options for remote production.
The SNGs, which are currently being built in the UK, will utilise Lawo's IP-based mixing technology to further optimize production processes within the Sky Sports division. The vehicles will be used for Sky Sports News, originating live reports, press conferences, and champions' celebration events, as well as complex unilateral provision for the Champions League and Europa League soccer.
"We have chosen Lawo mixing consoles to prepare ourselves for future developments like remote production, closer networking with Sky Sport News Headquarters, and further optimization of workflows," said Alessandro Reitano, Vice President Sports Production at Sky Germany. "Furthermore, the number of Lawo-experienced operators in the OB and SNG industry is pretty high, and general familiarity with Lawo consoles is widespread. With Lawo, it is significantly easier to adapt and implement interfaces for existing workflow processes within the Sky Sport News division.
"What convinced us were the innovative and future-oriented technology and adaptability to our workflows. We are already familiar with Lawo's high quality standards and conscientious service, as we use an mc²56 mixing console at our facilities in Bavaria."
Interior fitting of the vehicles will start in mid-July. Implementation and installation of the mixing consoles is scheduled for completion by November, with the first production commencing in January 2017.
