DirectOut joins Lawo HOME ecosystem
- Details
In the HOME ecosystem, the Prodigy converters will benefit from instant IP discovery and registration, intuitive stream routing, device monitoring, diagnostics, parameter control and the security features offered by the HOME platform, all enabled through a single control API.
One highly anticipated result is that the Prodigy’s parameters can be conveniently tweaked from an mc²-series console with built-in HOME functionality.
Christian Struck, Lawo’s senior product manager audio production comments, “Especially in the performing arts and on live stages where audio recording and playback quality is critical, operators like to leverage the excellent sound of Prodigy audio preamps in combination with a Lawo mc²-series console. A direct line of communication between the two provides centralised access to comprehensive parameter tweaks and all the real-time information, security and control today’s operators require.”
Claudio Becker-Foss, DirectOut’s managing director and CTO adds: “The decision to support HOME natively is based on the benefits this platform offers to our user base. They expect a lot more than automatic discovery and registration capabilities. With this tight integration, audio operators will be able to access our devices' comprehensive feature set directly from the convenience of, e.g., an mc² console surface. Conversely, this tie-up will allow users to benefit from our gateway options into the Dante and Ravenna realms at all sampling rates supported by Lawo’s A__UHD Core.”
“Lawo has always been open to granting other vendors access to the HOME management platform,” says Axel Kern, Lawo’s senior director cloud and infrastructure solutions. “I’m delighted that DirectOut customers can now leverage HOME’s four pillars - connected, secured, managed, processed - with the same flexibility as Lawo console users.”
