Q880 64 STEREO CHANNEL RAVENNA/AES67 IP AUDIO GATEWAY CODEC

The scalability of Ascent makes it ideal for applications that require multiple channels of audio encoding and decoding at head-end sites. The high-density solution reduces cost and provides a path for convergence of IT and broadcast infrastructure. The interoperability between Ascent and IP Link codecs provides a complementary solution for remote contribution and distribution use cases.

The Ascent platform continues the Intraplex tradition of providing an unprecedented level of reliability for audio over IP application. Built with enhanced network reliability and security in mind, Ascent supports the Dynamic Stream Splicing technology of IP Link codec, which provides “hitless” protection for packet losses using the combination of time and network diversity for packet transmission, and FEC.

To further enhance reliability and security, the platform supports the SRT protocol encapsulation. SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) is an open-source protocol that provides low-latency, reliable and secure streaming of audio and video data. The reliability in SRT is accomplished by a built-in packet re-transmission scheme; the security of streams is handled by the built-in AES-128/256 payload encryption.

In addition to “hitless” protection, like the IP Link codecs, the Ascent also supports automatic failover between different incoming streams or stored audio.

This combination of capabilities gives Intraplex codecs a market-leading position in STL over IP technology and unmatched network transport reliability.

Ascent supports both physical audio interfaces (AES3, Analog) and AES67 (AoIP), with a maximum of 16 full-duplex or a total of 32 channels (combination of encode and decode). Physical audio interfaces can be ordered as 4- or 8-channel cards, supporting both AES3 and analog audio signals.    The Ascent product is built on the Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) x86 architecture to leverage the scalability and cost of the technology. The product is available in a 1RU branded hardware server and as a software-only option.

Lawo’s Power Coreᴿᴾ is a full-featured remote production solution for mc² audio consoles, providing integrated modular I/O, DSP and IP streaming capabilities, all in a compact 1RU device. It accomodates 64 channels of MADI audio via its front-panel port, and I/O count can easily be expanded using the eight rear-panel slots which can be loaded with Mic, Line, AES3 and GPIO cards, in any combination, for a total I/O capacity of up to 128 channels.

Designed for mission-critical applications, Power Coreᴿᴾ includes ST2022-7 compliance for network redundancy and Class C jitter / network latency robustness to eliminate the need for dedicated WAN gateways and minimizing the complexity of remote productions while reducing single points of failure. Its IP interface complies with ST2110-30/-31, AES67 and RAVENNA networking standards to deliver maximum interoperability within your production suite. To accommodate the most sophisticated workflows, Power Coreᴿᴾ features comprehensive audio connectivity via two redundant 1GbE SFP ports for Audio-over-IP, one MADI port (with a 2nd port for interface redundancy), and eight modular I/O slots that can accommodate mix of Mic, Line and AES3 cards. A unique studio card with Mic/Line inputs & outputs plus two headphone amplifiers is available as well.

Power Coreᴿᴾ DSP capabilities include 64 fully-featured processing channels and provide low-latency on-site monitor and IFB mixing. mc2 consoles at home have full control of all relevant channel parameters (gain, fader, mute, EQ, dynamics, Aux Send Level, etc.) of the DSP node at its remote location.

All I/O parameters of the Power Coreᴿᴾ can be remote controlled from an mc² console’s channel strips; in addition, mc² consoles can control the DSP channels inside Power CoreRP to offer control capabilities for up to 64 input channels and 16 stereo Aux busses. Remote channels can be mapped to the host console’s surface just like any other source and offer parameter control for Fader, Mute, EQ+Filters, Dynamics, Delay plus the analog and digital input section. Remote inputs and Auxes of Power Coreᴿᴾ can even be linked to local DSP channels of the host console to ensure continuous linking of parameter values.

In addition to the control integration from an mc² console, Power Coreᴿᴾ features a touch-screen optimized control GUI based on the Lawo VisTool screen design solution. This provides on-site as well as remote access to all parameters of Power Coreᴿᴾ, which is convenient for setting up prior to connecting the host console. Power Coreᴿᴾ ‘s unique remote-control possibilities include continuous and dynamic fader control as well as fader start-type commands, which are essential for latency-critical WAN connections and to avoid speech truncation on air. The GUI’s feature set also includes sophisticated test mode and lineup patterns, as well as controllable DIM levels to the talents’ ear-pieces for talkback from the director. The graphical interface also allows monitoring the control connection to the host console, the on-air status, and Sync. You can also monitor Listen and PFL, as well as the local talkback system.

Lawo A__line nodes are designed to serve as IP audio stageboxes for mc² consoles, audio extensions for the V__matrix ecosystem, or as stand-alone IP audio gateways.

A__line devices provide distributed audio connectivity that makes it easy to scale audio I/O capacity in a networked system — temporarily or permanently. SMPTE ST2110-compliant, A__line offers a granular audio format selection similar to the flexibility found in baseband modular I/O systems, but eliminates system design limitations like maximum channel count per frame, fixed channel capacity per device interconnect, or fixed overall system size. Audio endpoints connected to A__line nodes can be seamlessly shared on LAN or WAN, and thanks to their fully standardized streaming technology, can interconnect to a wide variety of IP-enabled broadcast devices — A__line nodes are brand-agnostic.

A__line devices boast exceptional audio quality. Discrete, Class-A microphone preamplifiers deliver a superb dynamic range of 119dB(A), ultra low noise at all gain levels and a perfectly flat frequency response. Versatile analog I/O accommodates levels as high as +24dBu before clipping. Insertable, precise sample rate conversion is available on each AES3 input. For multichannel baseband interfacing, A__line features bi-directional MADI access via SFP. All devices employ the ST2110-30/31 and AES67 standards to transport uncompressed audio in real-time on Layer-3 IP networks, with ST2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching with dual-redundant network interfaces and ample receive buffer capacity to meet ST2022-7 class C specs for LAN and WAN deployment. Two redundant power inlets complete the package, along with PPM metering for all Analog and AES3 interfaces and PTP/Wordclock sync and conversion.

The greenMachine HDR Evie+ (Enhanced Video Image Engine), 1 RU half 19” rackmount, is a real-time segmented frame-by-frame broadcast-quality High Dynamic Range (HDR) to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) converter, with frame sync supporting formats up to 4K UHD (3840x2160). It is the world’s first system that uses the advanced algorithm for sectional dynamic tone mapping, which automatically analyzes different sections of an image in HDR stream and applies optimal corrections on a frame by frame basis in real-time. This unique capability is unlike any other solution today. It is the perfect real-time production tool for sports or any live broadcast event needing high-quality real-time HDR to SDR conversions. HDR EVIE+ fits best in the single native HDR workflow reducing the cost of equipment and manual operations.

The sectional dynamic tone mapping technique is applied to several spatial areas (sectors) in the image. In this type of tone mapping technique, the algorithm adjusts the signal by using several dynamic curves, one per image segment/sector. The algorithm then combines the result with global dynamic curves based on the entire image. While the dynamic curves of the different sectors are perfectly adapted to the respective image content of their segments, the global curve is perfectly adapted to the content of the entire image. Depending on the image content within these sectors, the algorithm reacts dynamically, which allows lights and shadows to be treated independently. Therefore, dark areas can be brightened, and the bright areas can be darkened without getting a flat gradation of the image. “

HDR EVIE+ provides a 1x 4K/UHD processing channel supporting down-conversion from HDR transfer characteristics to SDR through appropriate sectional dynamic tone mapping. It also supports the Wide Color Gamut (WCG) needs of broadcasters and professional AV live events requirements. HDR Evie+ package also includes HDR Static configuration for Static HDR SDR conversions, which performs static tone mapping to realize UP/Down/Cross conversions between HDR and SDR, suited best for the studios or the environments where the light conditions do not change dynamically.

The module has multiple platforms such as PTP Grandmaster, PTP Slave or PTP boundary clock. The precise acquired reference time and date is transferred in form of a serial protocol and a synchronized seconds pulse. The module comes with two 10 MHz outputs, which are often used for synchronizing a third party SPG system. The PTP slave uses industry leading algorithms to extract time from a PTP input stream and produces stable frequency and time outputs. The module needs to be used in conjunction with a RUBIDIUM Series housing and a power supply. For user specific setups, an initial configuration requires a Windows PC with an USB and/or Ethernet port (only in combination with an IE module). The PTPC module offers a variety of monitoring and control possibilities. Its design allows for the implementation into complex and fail-proof redundant systems. C3 Outputs:- C3 module has the following outputs:

• Time information Serial Interface Output


• Seconds pulse (PPS)


• Four programmable GPIs


• Two 10 MHz-signals (a third output is configurable)


• An Ethernet pass through port

Every module is connected to an internal hot swappable bus, which bilaterally connects all modules within a particular housing.The internal bus can be distributed over several housings by using the RLC port. The RLC plug contains a voltage feed, a failure relay output and aTC_link interface.TC_link is a real time capable proprietary interface, which is based on a customized RS485 interface. On the rear side of every housing, a PC interface (USB) can be found.This serial connection is used for configuration, status control, and also software and firmware updates. Via our IE Ethernet module, browser configuration, status control and SNMP functions are available.
