At the upcoming IBC Show, Lawo plans to show the new HOME Power Core app, which it calls a major step toward fully virtualized radio operations.
This is a software-only version of the Power Core hardware unit, designed for IP-based broadcasting. It supports the same real-time mixing, routing and monitoring capabilities as its hardware counterpart and is compatible with Lawo’s crystal, diamond and crystal Clear mixing consoles.
The app runs on standard COTS servers and is available in three instance sizes, allowing matching of DSP power to operational requirements. The app supports Ravenna/AES67 and ST2110 natively, and soon will support Dante, NDI and SRT formats, making it suitable for talk radio, visual radio and live webcasts.
Integrated transcoding and stream management ensure that all audio sources can be dynamically connected, monitored and processed. HOME Power Core supports perpetual licenses and Flex Subscription credit-based activation.
Lawo also will show the Radio 8.2 software release. It introduces a 96 kHz XL License that brings enhanced DSP capabilities to Lawo’s radio consoles, along with switchable compressor modes that can operate in automatic or manual settings.
VisTool, Lawo’s GUI design and control software, has also been enhanced.
More broadly the company will show tools for TV and radio including Lawo’s implementation of the EBU’s Dynamic Media Facility initiative; HOME 4.0, the latest evolution of its IP-native management platform; and several other developments.
