Lawo Power Core is now going even further with MAX (Multiple Access)

El fabricante lanza cuatro paquetes de licencias de software para su versátil motor de mezcla Power Core AoIP y su nodo de E/S: Power Core MAX.

Theirs acaba de lanzar un nuevo paquete de licencias de software para su versátil motor de mezcla Power Core AoIP y su nodo de E/S: Power Core MAX. MAX, abreviatura de Multiple Access, hace posible que un solo dispositivo Power Core sea el motor de mezcla para múltiples consolas de mezcla en el aire.

Clark Novak, radio solutions marketing specialist at Lawo, says that “many of Lawo's customers are large public broadcasters whose workflows dictate large mixing surfaces, so Power Core was designed with a huge amount of DSP and modular I/O in just 1RU, perhaps even too much for an average console.”

"Power Core MAX allows you to unlock all those resources to power two, three or even four small mixing surfaces. It's a capability that anyone looking to maximize their equipment budget will immediately appreciate," he adds.

Power Core is a true workhorse of the AoIP. Los puertos AES67 de doble panel frontal redundante pueden acomodar hasta 128 streams con un total de 256 canales de audio. Cuatro puertos MADI del panel frontal pueden manejar 64 canales MADI cada uno, para un total de 256 canales, o 128 canales MADI en modo doble redundante. Mientras tanto, 8 ranuras de expansión en el panel trasero permiten mezclar y combinar línea analógica, AES3, micrófono, MADI con conversión de velocidad de muestra, y tarjetas de interfaz Dante para permitir la adaptación de una carga de E/S personalizada a casi cualquier requisito operativo. Una exclusiva tarjeta de E/S de estudio suministra entradas de micrófono y salidas de auriculares y monitor en un único espacio.

Power Core also offers a processing power. 96 DSP channels enable large groups of audio signals to be processed with nearly 2,000 cross-path points making the Power Core a stand-alone AoIP router that many radio and television broadcasters consider an ideal gateway for bridging legacy audio formats and standards-based IP media networks. ST2022-7 seamless protection switching provides double-redundant AoIP network connections to ensure no network link interruption.

Power Core is extremely popular with broadcasters around the world thanks to its flexibility, I/O capacity and standards-based architecture. In addition to being 100% AES67 compatible, it also features ST2022-7 network redundancy via dual active front panel SFP ports. Power Core is also the first radio console engine to comply with the ST2110-30 standard, ensuring seamless interoperability in radio and television combined broadcast plants. 5.1 mixing is supported and it is possible to use consoles with up to 60 faders.

It is a expandable and configurable solution. Junto con la elección de múltiples paquetes de licencias por niveles y una enorme cantidad de E/S estándar AES67 y MADI, los clientes pueden usar las ocho ranuras de tarjeta del panel trasero para añadir a la carta interfaces analógicas, AES3, MADI y Dante. Una tarjeta única de E/S de estudio completa el paquete con entradas de micrófono y salidas de canal de auriculares y monitor.

Cuatro paquetes de licencia actualizables

• The new Power Core MAX package, with support for up to 254 physical and virtual faders, 96 channels of DSP (EQ, dynamics, compression and limiting), 32 channels of DSP bus processing, VisTool Standard touchscreen control, 1920 x 1920 routing matrix, a 78-station talkback matrix, and support for up to 4 independent connected mixing surfaces – perfect for equipping multiple studios with small or medium-sized consoles.
• Power Core XL, with all MAX features enabled for a single powerful console. This package is ideal for networked operations, main control rooms, or large, busy main studios with multiple input sources.
• Tailored to the requirements of small and medium-sized single-console studios, the Power Core L can accommodate up to 64 AES67 streams and 128 MADI streams, 128 physical and virtual faders (including a mini utility software mixer), 48 DSP audio shaping channels, 16 bus processing channels, and a 1728 x 1728 routing matrix.
• Power Core SAN to configure Power Core as a high-capacity network audio I/O gateway with limited DSP processing capabilities.
