Lawo has unveiled a significant enhancement of its NDI support within the Lawo HOME Apps suite.
This expansion includes the integration of NDI Advanced features and future compatibility with the latest NDI6 technology.
The Lawo HOME Apps suite previously offered comprehensive support for the entire NDI ecosystem, encompassing NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX, and NDI HX3 formats. This facilitates seamless integration of a diverse array of NDI-enabled devices—such as cameras, converters, video mixers, graphics systems, and capture cards—into production workflows.
Support for multichannel audio transmission via NDI
Moreover, the Lawo HOME Apps now feature support for multichannel audio transmission via NDI, enabling users to harness the full capabilities of NDI with the latest addition to the HOME mc² DSP app family.
Supports latest NDI 6 update
Additionally, Lawo has announced forthcoming support for the latest NDI 6 update by the HOME Apps suite, which will be available in a future software release. NDI 6 introduces several significant enhancements, including 10-bit color depth and High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) video support.
«Lawo’s aim with its expanding HOME Apps offering is to put broadcasters firmly in the driver’s seat by allowing them to select the production tools they require to tell compelling stories from the largest possible pool of options,» explains Phil Myers, Chief Technology Officer at Lawo. «The addition of advanced NDI support and NDI6 integration is a testament to our commitment to providing our customers with the most flexible and future-proof production solutions.»
«The decision to expand support for NDI shows how leaders in live production solutions like LAWO are enthusiastic about the NDI 6 core update and its benefits for professional broadcast and beyond,» explained Charles Steinkuehler, Director of Technology at NDI. «We are thrilled to welcome LAWO to the NDI Advanced family and look forward to witnessing what their customers can achieve with the full power of our connectivity technology.
The Lawo HOME Apps with NDI Advanced support have been deployed to great acclaim in mission-critical infrastructures, and empower broadcasters and media production services to leverage the full potential of IP-based workflows for the delivery of high-quality, low-latency content across a wide range of platforms and devices.
