Routing – Profit from reliability.
Routing:
Optimum Control thanks to Maximum flexibility.
One for all.
The Lawo interface card is used in almost every Lawo product.
From digital patchbay or on-air matrix through to extended
audio networks, the interface card from our DALLIS I/O system
handles it all. It allows a wide range of potential combinations
and interconnectivity between products, and smaller installations
can benefit from the high quality of top of the range
systems.
State of the art.
Lawo products demonstrate the highest availability and flexi-
bility. The STAR 2 architecture used in our router frames is
becoming a de-facto audio industry standard, as it has been for
some time in telecommunications.
Put your mind at rest.
Our products excel by virtue of their comprehensive redundancy,
which is an essential attribute of any component at
the nerve centre of your audio infrastructure. Our application
of this philosophy extends from PSUs to the processor, and
includes redundant failsafe structures such as double wiring, to
eliminate single points-of-failure. Our strict attention to detail
in this area ensures customer satisfaction and peace of mind.
Breaking new ground.
As one of the original manufacturers of digital audio technology,
Lawo pioneered the use of ATM for audio transfers, and this has
been an influential step in the field of audio networking. SDH/
ATM is available as a standard interface across our product
range, and is in ever-increasing demand.
Keep in touch.
We use TCP/IP over Ethernet as our control interface, since
this provides maximum reliability, flexibility and capacity.
TCP/IP was chosen as the basis for our control protocols and
service interfaces as it has the added benefits of easy setup and
distribution, as well as allowing remote operation and service
diagnostics, which have been built into our products for some
time. For example, a service technician can retrieve information
from the integral web-server of a remote system matrix,
simply through the use of a standard web browser.
Taking a back seat.
A primary characteristic of a reliable, high quality routing
matrix is that it should sit seamlessly in the user’s workflow.
Lawo has an extensive range of software and hardware options
for matrix design, thus allowing the appropriate ergonomic
system to be created. Workflows can be automated – using our
software for time-based connection it’s possible to schedule
lines, automate fades and manage scheduling conflicts. To
achieve this, we use DSP resources integrated as standard
into the routing matrices. Combined with our hardware, which
allows the creation of control surfaces such as monitor selectors
or audio sweetening devices, we can provide complete control
of the broadcast environment.
Unlimited potential.
Our products incorporate general-purpose hardware and are
distinguished by extreme flexibility. Based on an established
technical and engineering knowledge, plus nearly 40 years of
experience, we can meet the specific requirements of almost
every project. There is practically no limit to the solutions that
can be implemented using our wide product range.
