A new appliance from Lawo is intended to be the solution to I/O format “convergence.”
The Edge One is a stagebox suitable for pro AV and broadcast applications, Lawo said. It is available in three separate packages: audio, video and AV.
Built on Lawo’s HOME platform, it is a ST 2110 unit that supports NMOS. The Edge One provides analog, MADI and USB audio; video connectivity on micro HD-BNC and HDMI; as well as a 32 x 16 audio mixer with audio DSP. It is Lawo’s first stagebox to provide HDMI ports.
Suggested uses, according to Lawo, include use in remote production setups, combining video and audio while taking up 1U of flightcase rackspace.
When equipped with the commentary interface module and the Lawo HOME Commentary app, the unit is also suitable for up to three commentators, providing each with their own microphone input and headphone output.
It offers eight analog audio connectors (XLR), eight SDI connectors and four HDMI ports.
The stagebox also includes two MADI ports with sample rate conversion as standard, a USB-C port supporting four input and output audio channels, synchronization and reference connectors and two Ethernet and two SFP connectors for IP networks, with a maximum streaming bandwidth of 25Gbps.
It also supports PoE++.
Lawo will demonstrate the Edge One at its NAB Show booth.
