La technologie Lawo AoIP alimente la dernière unité mobile UHD UHD de MMG

MMG, société spécialisée dans la production et la diffusion d’événements sportifs, culturels et de divertissement, a intégré le Lawo AoIP dans sa nouvelle unité mobile, appelée UHD1.

Le Lawo L’équipement de la nouvelle unité mobile, avec des capacités UHD, comprend une console de production mc²56 avec 48 faders, trois compatibles WAN A__stage 64 qui servent de caissons de scène internes et externes, et un Lawo A__madi6, qui transporte l’audio de la Riedel système, le SVE VIA et la régie vidéo.

Le UHD1, une unité mobile UHD HDR de 15 tonnes, mesure 9,50 m de long et 4,50 m de large avec la paroi latérale allongée, créant une zone de 40m². The complementary rigging truck provides even more working space for editing, graphics or SVE control. A MacMini-based QLab audio feed system is directly connected to the A__UHD Core via RAVENNA, so the van can also be used for multi-track recording. In addition, the van is equipped with a fully redundant UHD/HD satellite transmission system.

Lawo delivered and installed the equipment on schedule in November 2021. In the same month, the new mobile unit had its baptism of fire with the production of MDR’s Riverboat, one of the channel’s biggest talk shows.

Betting on Ravenna/AES67

The new generation of the Lawo mc²56 benefits from RAVENNA/AES67 technology. Its A__UHD core audio engine can be configured via licenses with up to 256 DSP channels. Its compact size is suitable for installation in mobile units, it is optimised for modern IP video production environments and is designed for networking in complex production infrastructures, with full native support for SMPTE 2110, AES67 / RAVENNA et MADI audio streams.

Other mc²56 features that suit the most common mobile workflows include LiveView previews of linked video streams, multi-user, upmix, downmix and optional Lawo KICK; audio-follows-video functionality; and integrated 3D/immersive mixing, parallel compression and Lawo AutoMix tools. In addition, with the integration of Waves SoundGrid Extreme, sound engineers can access a “huge” sound library.

Robert Hänsel, managing director of MMG Leipzig, explains why the company has once again placed its trust in Lawo solutions: “The decision to go with Lawo is no coincidence. We have had good experiences with Lawo over many years, so choosing the audio infrastructure for the UHD1 was not difficult when the options were compared. We looked closely and decided on Lawo again. Important considerations, besides the quality, functionality and reliability of the mc²56, were the compact dimensions of the console and the immense space, weight and energy savings of the A__UHD core.”
