vm_dmv is a true revolution in multiviewer technology. Leveraging the power of IP using Lawo’s advanced V__matrix IP video routing & processing platform, vm_dmv lets you build a true 4k UHD multiviewer that can easily grow and adapt to suit your unique requirements. Build a system as small as 24 inputs and 4 control heads, or as large as 768 inputs with 128 heads – and beyond.

The secret lies in the pairing of Lawo’s unique LiveView™ technology and V__matrix architecture. vm_dmv “virtual module” apps run on C100 blades inside a Lawo V__matrix rack unit, which accepts SDI and 40GbE connections. Combining LiveView™ with the ability to “cluster” C100 processing blades keeps bandwidth requirements low, while enabling incredible scalability. Need more inputs or more control heads? Simply load another vm_dmv module to increase system capacity.

vm_dmv takes full advantage of modern network design. It utilizes a distributed architecture, with multiple software modules running on C100 blades within V__matrix frames connected via IP. Individual modules can be hosted in the same frame, or located in different frames within your facility — even in an entirely different location altogether. Which means you can also have multiviewer heads wherever you need them: Master Control, remote production facilities, even OB vans. No other multiviewer system can give you this kind of flexibility.

Traditional multiviewers require massive amounts of bandwidth because they generate control head PiPs using incoming video signals at full-scale. vm_dmv solves the bandwidth problem with cutting-edge LiveView™ MIP-mapping technology. Each incoming signal is optimized and downscaled, then served as four simultaneous streams of differing sizes. These streams become the PiPs used in each multiviewer head; once a source is present, it can be displayed by any (or every) head in the system. LiveView™, coupled with V__matrix’s 40GbE IP backbone, provides true bandwidth efficiency, ultra-low latency, and one-to-many source distribution.

vm_dmv is space-efficient, too. Each V__matrix rack frame accommodates two C100 blades, making it possible to deploy a 48-8 vm_dmv multiviewer system using only 1RU of space. And because the system is built on a true-IP backbone utilizing the ST2110 and ST2022 standards, you can build a distributed architecture, with V__matrix frames placed adjacent to source inputs and connected via Ethernet —instead of running cable bundles to the central rack room.

A groundbreaking multiviewer deserves an equally groundbreaking control and configuration system. vm_DMV is controlled with Lawo’s “theWALL”, a unique HTML5-based GUI that makes mosaic configuration with borders, colors, UMDs, tallies and more a simple case of drag-and-drop. Configure any monitor wall, route signals, change mosaic layouts, save and load user presets. theWALL does all this and more, with a smart, intuitive touch interface that’s a snap to use. Ideal for EICs, line producers and operators, theWALL gives every member of your production team the power to change their monitor wall layouts on-the-fly in seconds flat.

MCX is a next-generation 4K60 AV-over-IP distribution solution that enables latency-free extension and matrix switching of video, audio, RS-232, and USB 2.0 signals. MCX features built-in video wall management and is TAA-compliant.

MCX allows AV and data payloads to exist on the same IT network and reduces network management time and costs.

The encoders/decoders are ideal for point-to-point secure video conferencing, multi-monitor broadcasts, distributed video matrix or video wall systems, and remote KVM system control.

Easy Setup – Easy Management

Connect each encoder to an AV source (e.g. computer, content player) and connect it to a managed 10-GbE network switch. Connect a decoder to each screen you want to display the content on and connect it to the same switch. Manage your MCX system through the user-friendly MCX Gen2 Network Manager that helps you to configure your system and even build and manage a video wall.

Uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 Video

MCX delivers the video quality high-end AV applications require to display eye-catching content: It extends uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 video to an unlimited number of displays without sacrificing latency, video quality or bandwidth. Even better, it supports up to 10-bit HDR using Software-Defined Video over Ethernet (SDVoE) – the latest software-based AV-over-IP platform for extension and control of AV systems on Ethernet or fiber networks.

Create Ergonomic Workflows for Operators

This video extension system is easy to install and use on a modern network. The units’ front-panel configuration buttons and On-Screen Display (OSD) streamline daily workflows.

Choose Copper or Fiber Versions to Suit Your Application

The encoders/decoders are designed for high-quality, IP routable, AV extension with minimum latency. Fiber and copper versions are available to accommodate for your preferred network infrastructure.

Zero Latency

This robust video distribution system's data transfer delay is virtually undistinguishable; the glass-to-glass encoding and decoding happens in real-time (0.03 milliseconds). This means you never deal with annoying lag or video delay.

HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort Encoding and Decoding

You can connect every essential device to your MCX Gen2 through its variety of ports. Multiple control and data signals may also be transmitted along with the audio and video, including IR and RS-232.

3-Port USB with USB-C Connectivity

The integrated USB hub of each decoder (receiver) can be configured to be in ‘USB Host’ or ‘Device Mode’ and can function as a simple point to point AV/KVM extension, freely routed between any two endpoints, or it can be configured into a special “Simultaneous” mode, allowing up to 7 ‘Host Mode’ units to extend their USB ports to a single ‘Device Mode’ unit. This type of USB AV/KVM routing flexibility enables a wide range of multi-user, control room, or on-demand installation scenarios.

Additional Video Out

The system can show the input source on a separate monitor. For example, in a live event, the user can view the source and sample that video on a loop, then pass it down to the network to compare latency.

Works with MCX Gen2 Controller

Combined with the optional MCX Gen2 Controller or control software, the functionality of the encoders/decoders expands exponentially. Multiple encoders/decoders may be combined with one or more 10-Gigabit fiber Ethernet switches and the units can be used together to form a distributed video matrix, a multi-viewer system, or a video wall system adding to their flexibility in large event installations.

A multiviewer/quality monitoring solution with penalty screen, screen of states, carousel feature and “blind” monitoring for SD/HD-SDI and IP signals

Stream MultiScreen is a software quality monitoring solution. The software can generate a mosaic screen, a screen of states, a penalty screen and non-visual (“blind”) instrumental monitoring capability for analog, SD/HD-SDI and IP sources in any combination. The solution is intended for visual and/or automated quality control and monitoring in Network Operation Centers (NOC), broadcast facilities, Head-ends, content aggregators, TV broadcasters etc... Stream MultiScreen is fully compliant with DVB/MPEG TS ISO 13818-1 streams.

The solution is equipped with a carousel (also called a rotator) feature for monitoring a large set of channels by groups in a round robin manner that can decrease the number of required physical output monitors.

The number of inputs varies and is effectively unlimited. Stream MultiScreen supports feeds from BDA/DirectShow receivers to monitor satellite, cable and terrestrial TV signals. Stream Labs ingest cards may be used to monitor baseband signals coming via SD/HD-SDI, T2-MI and analog interfaces. IP sources are supported including HLS, RTSP, RTMP, MPEG-DASH.

The output mosaic screen can be streamed to a remote PC via HLS. Output is available as HDMI, DVI or DisplayPort. Up to 6 outputs are supported per a server.

The solution supports monitoring and alarming of ETSI TR 101 290 (ETR 290) critical states and QoE degradation such as black screen, still picture, no sound, R.128 parameters etc... Stream MultiScreen can detect user-defined patterns in incoming signals, i.e. “No signal” messages from an IRD/STB.

The solution utilizes Nvidia GPU's and Intel decoding/filtering capabilities, but built-in software decoding is also possible for small and more cost effective installations reducing hardware requirements.

The layout and design of the mosaic screen, penalty screen and screen of states is customizable through the included MultiScreen Designer/Monitor software package.
