Lawo Unveils Flexible, Cost-Efficient Broadcast System
Lawo, a leading innovator in broadcast and production technology, has unveiled a groundbreaking system that offers unparalleled flexibility and cost-efficiency. The solution, released in April 2024, allows users to license processing functionality à la carte, eliminating the need for bundled functions they may not use.
At the core of Lawo's new system is the HOME Apps software-based infrastructure. This innovative platform offers maximum flexibility, running on-site, in a central data center, in the public cloud, or a combination of these. This adaptability ensures that users can tailor their setup to meet their specific needs and budget.
The system supports a wide range of protocols and compression formats, including ST2110, SRT, NDI, JPEG XS, H.26x, and NDI. This interoperability allows users to integrate the system seamlessly with their existing workflows.
Lawo's commercial model is designed to provide users with maximum control over their Costco stock. The company offers both perpetual licenses and function-agnostic subscriptions based on credits for software usage. This allows users to allocate credits freely to present and future app functionalities, ensuring that they only pay for what they use.
The system's server-based compute power provides elastic allocation of processing tasks, leading to higher hardware utilization. This not only improves efficiency but also reduces the overall Costco of ownership.
Lawo's 2024 roadmap is focused on solving hardware acquisition and utilization issues in a user-centric way. With its new system, Lawo is redefining the way broadcasters and production houses approach their technology needs, offering a flexible, cost-effective, and efficient solution that adapts to their unique requirements.
