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.

A__line WAN-Capable Audio-over-IP Nodes
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 A__line family includes:
- A__stage48 – 32x mic/line in, 16x line out, 8x AES3 in, 8x AES3 out, 1x MADI, 8/8 GPI, 3RU
- A__stage64 – 32x mic/line in, 16x line out, 8x AES3 in, 8x AES3 out, 1x MADI, 8/8 GPI, 4RU
- A__stage80 – 32x mic/line in, 32x line out, 8x AES3 in, 8x AES3 out, 1x MADI, 8/8 GPI, 3RU
- A__mic8 – 8x mic/line in, 4x line out, 8/8 GPI, 1RU
- A__digital8 –8x AES3 in, 4x AES3 out, 8/8 GPI, 1RU
- A__digital64 – 32x AES3 in with SRC, 32x AES3 out, 1x MADI, 8/8 GPI, 3RU
- A__madi6 – 6x MADI, 1RU
When controlled with Lawo’s VSM broadcast control system, A__line stageboxes provide an advanced set of networking options; VSM manages A__line’s AoIP connections, I/O settings, its non-blocking internal routing matrix, and GPIO signals for smooth integration into an overarching operational workflow.
A__UHD CORE
Plenty of reliability features are built-in. A__UHD Core features four independent IP audio streaming engines, each with a redundant pair of 10*/1 GbE network ports (SFP). The device is fully based on open standards and supports Audio-over-IP I/O via ST2110-30/-31, AES67 and RAVENNA. Each network interface supports up to 512 Rx & Tx streams with stream sizes from 1 to 128 audio channels. Redundant hot-swappable PSUs are standard, as well as network interface redundancy for all streaming and management ports, allowing redundant IP network paths using ST2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching and adheres to the Class C specification for deployment within LAN or WAN environments, allowing redundant A__UHD Core units to be housed just about anywhere on the planet—and still take over instantly if the need arises.
Finally, a flexible licensing model makes A__UHD Core ideal for both mobile applications and facility use. For mobile, the scalable DSP performance with temporary licenses is a great way to turn CAPEX into OPEX, whilst in facility applications, the possibility of resource pooling and flexible allocation of DSP resources to multiple physical and GUI-based mixing surfaces maximizes ROI for your audio infrastructure. This flexible software licensing offers fixed and temporary licenses to provide exactly what you need, when you need it. Licenses are stored on USB dongles and can be conveniently downloaded, allowing for seamless transfers from unit to unit.
Best of all, A__UHD Core’s functionally is defined by its software, making it a future-proof investment with a feature-set that is designed to expand.
HOME
HOME is a management platform for IP-based media infrastructures. It is designed to connect, manage and secure all aspects and instances of live production environments. HOME provides the tools and centralized services for swift and effective interaction of engineers with their tools.
HOME is cloud-native by design and ready to run anywhere, irrespective of the system’s size. With HOME, the cloud starts on your campus, private and locally. It turns an array of devices, setups, sites, hubs and data centers into a powerful, agile network — quickly and in a perfectly secure way.
Inside HOME, discovery of devices is automatic, while registering and admitting them to the network is only a button press away.
With the adoption of IP well underway, the focus of operators has shifted from whether to adopt IP to how to use its potential with minimal effort and maximum effect. This is where HOME shines: it addresses all pressing issues real-world operators face today and tomorrow. In one place and via a single, platform-agnostic, intuitive user interface.
Lawo’s HOME platform is based on open standards such as ST2110, NMOS, IEEE802.1x and RADIUS and has been designed and built from the ground up using LUX—the Lawo Unified Experience, a framework for conceiving, designing, and building solutions that put you first and defines the standard for user experience and design across the Lawo portfolio.
Discovery and Registration: HOME solves IP complexity with automatic plug & play discovery of IP audio and video devices, which are registered with their name, location, status and type. This applies not only to Lawo products but to third-party solutions as well via NMOS. Discovered devices are managed in a central inventory list, ready for access and configuration.
Device Management: In today’s hectic live broadcast environments, operators rely on speedy, unified device configuration routines, especially when setting generic device parameters or configuring senders and receivers. The ability to save and recall configurations is key to speed up tasks. HOME provides a centralized “mission control” for these processes, providing fast and unified access to device parameters for easy tweaking, irrespective of the end point being controlled.
Operability: With its simple, user-friendly UI, HOME allows users to organize and access processing services. With all required facilities accessible in one place, operators can set up and change stream configurations, and route them across an infrastructure without the need for a separate controller. For large infrastructures HOME works seamlessly with a broadcast controller in the same set-up and helps to speed up configuration and operation. HOME is based on LUX, a UI language common to all Lawo devices and many of their functionalities. Through HOME’s user interface, operators can access and edit device parameters quickly utilizing integral mechanisms that help get the job done efficiently. With HOME, operators quickly get right to what they’re looking for, without distractions and complications, to focus 100% on the task at hand.
Security: The content created by a production crew and transported over a network is any operation’s most valuable asset and deserves strong protection. While a robust security system needs to cover all aspects of media infrastructure and content creation, the key lies in its simplicity. HOME provides a variety of security strategies, first of which is quarantining unknown devices when they come online. Only after being deliberately approved, via an intuitive IEEE802.1X-based routine, can they begin exchanging signals with the HOME network. Secondly, HOME uses an authentication strategy based on a centralized user management system, with dedicated user roles and groups. The LDAP based service allows users to authenticate either locally – within HOME – or via their own corporate IT infrastructure, e.g. Microsoft® Active Directory. Finally comes the arbitration of devices and individual streams based on pinpointed rights management. HOME’s architecture is prepared to manage services such as transport layer security, network segmentation and other IT security mechanisms such as RADIUS.
Scalable Architecture: Home is cloud-native by design, which means that its architecture is built to run detached from hardware constraints. This does not automatically mean that services must be outsourced to an external service provider whose meter is running 24/7; with HOME, the cloud starts on your campus, private and locally, on COTS hardware. The HOME platform is designed as functional blocks that provide microservices, which are self-contained and supply functionality to operators or other services.
HOME can be expanded with additional services at any time to increase its functionality — the platform scales on demand. Should there be a need for a larger RDS, because the installation grows, additional instances of the required resources can be added anytime. One of the core principles of HOME is its focus on the utilization of open standards wherever possible, for broadest compatibility and future-proof integration. With HOME, flexibility and resource utilization in IP media infrastructure maximizes.

Unifying network telemetry and mixed media flow brings deep operational visibility into a single glass view. smartDASH even tracks device inventory spares and accounts for CAPEX and OPEX KPIs to manage cost of ownership.
V__matrix
Lawo’s new V__matrix IP broadcast video core infrastructure product will change your idea of what a broadcast facility looks like from legacy to future, quickly transforming any broadcast installation into a flexible, future-proof production facility, addressing a wide range of workflows and supporting your transition to a totally IP-based environment.
V__matrix is the first of its kind. Free from the restrictions of legacy hardware platforms, it offers a completely virtualized real-time routing and processing infrastructure. Instead of connecting single purpose modular products in elaborate production chains, V__matrix employs data center principles of flexibility, fabric computing and COTS economics and makes these available to any live production broadcast environment. Whether an OB truck, a TV studio or a broadcast operation center, V__matrix creates a fully virtualized facility infrastructure. The V__matrix ecosystem is based on generic high capacity FPGA-based processing blades upon which Virtual Modules (VM) are loaded to create the functionality required. Multiple cores are connected through redundant 40GE (or 4x 10GE) Ethernet interfaces to an IP network to form a distributed IP routing and processing matrix that provides frame-accurate, clean switching just like a legacy baseband matrix.
The V__matrix ecosystem scales linearly from tens to thousands of I/O and processing functions which make it ideal for any size live broadcast facility, small or large. Capabilities easily scale as well. An entire production workflow can be remapped in minutes when requirements change from production to production. The functionality of any processing blade can be exchanged, enabling system capabilities to easily be modified or upgraded to address your constantly changing business requirements. The V__matrix pool of generic processing blades provides ultimate flexibility; with software-defined functionality they can be configured and called upon to handle the peaks and troughs of seasonal production demands and with Lawo’s innovative licensing model, Virtual Modules can be assigned to a particular processing blade or be stored in an on-site license server allowing for unprecedented flexibility.
The V__matrix ecosystem can be divided into two parts: physical and virtual. The physical consists of the C100 processing blade and associated hardware which provides the compute and processing capacity of the platform; the more compute power you have the more functions you can run. Since V__matrix is a fully IP-based platform, the C100 processing blade can be placed anywhere there is an IP network. It can be decentralized and spread over one or more facilities or centralized in a core facility or OB truck. A hybrid approach is also possible where some core equipment is kept on-site while a pool of processing power is kept in a remote data center. This decentralized approach allows the technical operation center to be situated in a purpose-built data center outside of town where space, power and cooling is inexpensive, while talent and studios can be in another area.
The virtual world is centered around the software which defines the functionality of the platform. The software packages are called Virtual Modules (VM) and in the V__matrix they allow the function-agnostic core processing hardware to build complex workflows by simply running the appropriate VM. Combining VMs allows the creation of complete production chains fulfilling all broadcast requirements in a fully virtualized environment. As all functions of the V__matrix ecosystem are software-defined it is the ultimate future-proof platform. Changing the functionality of your broadcast plant is as easy as changing the software modules loaded onto the processing blades. By cascading multiple VMs together, the V__matrix scales linearly up to thousands of SDI I/O and audio/video processing functions for unparalleled scalability, flexibility, versatility and cost-efficiency. The current line-up of V__matrix Virtual Modules include:
- vm_streaming – SDI-to-IP Gateway
- vm_udx 4K/HDR Format Converter – IP Up/Down/Cross and Color Space Converter
- vm_mv16-4, vm_mv18-4 & vm_mv24-4 — 4K Multiviewers
- vm_dmv – World’s first expandable distributed 4K IP Multiviewer
V__matrix multiviewer VMs are controlled by Lawo’s groundbreaking touch operated configuration system “theWALL”. This unique HTML5 based GUI makes mosaic configuration with borders, colors, UMDs, tally etc. a simple case of drag and drop.
V__matrix vm_avp SDI-to-IP Gateway
In base form, vm_avp provides encapsulation and de-encapsulation of 3G, HD and SD-SDI (ST2022-6/7 only) to IP ST2022-6 and ST2110-20/21/30/31/40, making vm_avp is the logical choice for both gateway and purely IP-based A/V processing, providing up to 160 SDIIP conversions in 3RU. ST2022-7 seamless protection switching is standard, with IP stream format conversion and frame accurate video switching using destination-timed clean and quiet switching (MBB & BBM) with audio V-fade during switching.
To further expand the usefulness of vm_avp, several optional add-on licenses are available:
- +audio – adds embedding/de-embedding and shuffling of audio from both IP and baseband I/O with sample rate conversion. 40 TX and RX instances of RAVENNA/AES67/ST2110-30/-31 streaming and an audio crossbar of 512 x 512.
- +audio_matrix – an additional upgrade to the +audio option, the +audio_matrix option provides a total of 88RX and 128TX instances of RAVENNA/AES67/ST2110-30/-31 streaming and an increased audio crossbar of up to 5,312 x 5,312.
- +madi – enables use of V__matrix BNC inputs and outputs to interface with MADI signals (AES10, 48kHz, 64 channels).
- +fs – adds framesync, frame phaser, sample rate conversion and audio/video delay functionality for both IP and baseband video inputs; also provides Dolby-E® auto-alignment functionality.
- +vc2 – adds visually lossless VC2/DiracPro ultra-low latency encoding and decoding; ST2042 low-delay profile.
- +proc_cc – adds YUV & RGB color correction, test pattern generator/inserter, and test tone generator.
- +12g – Adds support for 12 Gbps video standards and provides cross conversion capabilities between UHDTV1 Single-Link and Quad-Link.
V__matrix vm_udx 4K/HDR Format Converter
The vm_udx app provides a format conversion engine capable of processing four SD, HD, 3G or one UHD path for IP and/or SDI signals. Each path provides audio embedding/de-embedding/shuffling functionality. Audio gain, delay and sample rate conversion can be accessed through independent processing blocks, which can be inserted at any point of the processing chain. Eight instances of broadcast quality RGB and YUV color correction and video proc are also available as processing blocks for use by any video source, whether SDI or IP, and available both pre- and post-format conversion.
For even more functionality, add the +HDR option to enable four instances of SDRHDR color space conversion using 3D lookup tables. A large selection of LUTs especially developed for live production are included, and custom LUTs can also be uploaded too. The included LUTs allow for conversion between SDR and HDR in HLG and PQ.
V__remote 4
Lawo's V__remote 4 is designed to provide a one-box solution for all the requirements of video and audio signal transport and processing in WAN-based remote productions. It includes everything from Video-over-IP coding to various monitoring and processing tools. All designed for one purpose: to provide a tool that increases the flexibility of any broadcast application, while saving valuable rack-space, set-up time and production costs. With its virtual cabling capability, V__remote 4 leverages IP infrastructure advantages and cost savings to provide an unparalleled degree of flexibility and scalability.
In remote live production, IP is becoming a fundamental requirement, and getting reliable, low latency and high-quality video from venues back to studios at reasonable cost is an absolute necessity. The Lawo V__remote 4 achieves this by combining a bi-directional, four-channel Video-over-IP interface, four local SDI inputs and outputs, and all the processing tools usually needed when contributing video and audio via WAN or LAN to a broadcast production, into a compact 1RU devices.
V__remote 4 provides four 3G / HD/ SD SDI inputs and four 3G / HD / SD SDI outputs for interfacing to external video equipment, and converts these signals into IP streams (and vice-versa). These streams can be transported via standard Layer 3 IP LANs or WANs. V__remote 4 provides parallel encoding in multiple streaming formats, making the same signal available to different applications – e.g. RAW for local production, JPEG2000 for remote sites, MJPEG and H.264 for monitoring applications, and H.264 for internet distribution. The IP-based approach allows easy signal routing via Lawo’s VSM control and monitoring system or other external master control systems. No rewiring is needed as long as all devices are connected to the network. Since the device is based on real network technology with multicast capability, it allows easy transmission of signals to multiple outputs within the network.
The V__remote4’s coding engines are designed to meet the highest demands for video quality and signal transport reliability. The extremely robust J2K codec (with a special protection algorithm for signal transport even on unreliable WAN connections) and ST2022-7 port redundancy ensure signal availability and quality. Lawo’s EPS technology for enhanced protection switching goes even further, enabling system designs with true hardware and network redundancy. Format and quality of the IP video streams can be configured individually to provide the optimum balance of picture quality, latency and bandwidth. Its 6 Ethernet ports are connected to an internal switch allowing “tunneling” of IP traffic such as camera control, RAVENNA streams or even office and Internet IP, through the 10GBit interface.
vm_dmv Distributed 4K IP Multiviewer
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.

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.
