Lawo Beefs Up Power Core With Rev3

It provides multiple high-density Ravenna/AES67 and MADI interfaces

By RW Staff

Lawo will be at the IBC Show and will feature the latest version of Power Core, its high-density I/O, mixing, processing and routing engine.

Power Core provides multiple high-density Ravenna/AES67 and MADI interfaces. It also offers modular mic, line, AES3, GPIO and Dante interfaces.

“The new Power Core Rev3, alongside the still available Rev2 version, boasts extraordinary I/O capacity,” the company states.

“Using industry-standard Ravenna/AES67 networking, AoIP facilities built with Power Core can easily scale from simple two- or three-room on-air suites to massive broadcast networks with thousands of channels of analog and digital audio and control, full routing capabilities and facility-wide DSP bus and input audio processing.”

The internal matrix provides 1,920 x 1,920 crosspoints, up to 96 channels of DSP input processing supply EQ, dynamics, de-essing, limiting and delay.

“Capable of powering consoles with up to 60 physical and 60 virtual faders, Power Core offers support for up to four independent control surfaces simultaneously.”

Power Core Rev3 has four Ravenna/AES67 ports with SFP, double the previous number. The additional capacity can be used to expand I/O to as many as 512 Ravenna/AES67 channels, or to provide LAN segment separations or LAN-WAN gateway applications in large-scale deployments.

Bidirectional Unicast Ravenna/AES67 streams are now supported for wide-area applications. The front panel now has a convenient USB port and an SD memory card slot with security cover for software maintenance operations.

A new GPI/O expansion card provides eight GPI + eight GPO and two VCA inputs. This brings control features to the family of Power Core expansion cards.

New DSP capabilities include a low-latency Loudness Leveler and other improvements.
