Lawo to debut AES67/ST2110 audio gateway at NAB

Power Core packs a staggering amount of DSP and modular I/O into just 1RU. On the front panel alone, there are 128 dual-redundant AES67 streams and 128 dual-redundant MADI channels.

Power Core, the versatile AoIP mixing engine and I/O node from Theirs, has become even more powerful, thanks to new features and capabilities that will be presented at NAB 2019 (Booth #N2503).

Initially introduced as a DSP mixing engine and modular I/O system for Ruby radio consoles, many broadcasters are using Power Core as a gateway among the Legacy audio formats and IP media networks based on standards.

He ST2110-30 standard guarantees seamless interoperability of audio and video equipment in radios and televisions.

Among the new Power Core features at NAB, a Dante card with double redundant ports and sample rate conversion, allowing easy integration of professional audio equipment into broadcast environments.

Furthermore, it offers puertos SFP Dual redundant front panel for AoIP so now, broadcasters can choose between optical or copper network connections, without the cost of external media converters.

It also has ST2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching, which provides double-redundant AoIP network connections. Twin active links protect against audio loss in the event that one link goes down.

Clark Novak, Radio Marketing Specialist at Lawo, notes that "Power Core packs a staggering amount of DSP and modular I/O into just 1RU. On the front panel alone, there are 128 dual-redundant AES67 streams and 128 dual-redundant MADI channels. Then there are 8 expansion slots on the rear panel. Combine this with 96 DSP channels and nearly 2,000 cross-routing points, and it's no wonder. “No wonder radio and television stations are finding that Power Core increases capabilities, simplifies infrastructure and reduces costs.”

“La migración de la industria broadcast al IP ha desencadenado una convergencia de las tecnologías de radio y televisión. Es por eso que Power Core se está convirtiendo rápidamente en la herramienta de agregación de medios preferida por las emisoras de televisión, especialmente en entornos IP. La capacidad de conectar y convertir entre AES3, AES67, MADI, Dante y ST2110-30 hace que Power Core sea un ‘Über-Node'”, añade Novak.

Finally, it should be noted that with Power Core users can add more capacity with eight card slots on the back panel, allowing you to add analog, AES3, MADI and Dante interface cards, and a single Studio I/O card that provides microphone inputs and headphone and monitor outputs.
