Lawo has unveiled Edge One, a SMPTE ST 2110 native Stagebox with a bandwidth of up to 25Gps, which can be used for both video and audio.
One side of the device is equipped with 8x bi-directional HD-BNC connectors for SDI signals, that can function either as inputs or outputs, and 4x HDMI outputs, two of which can alternatively be used as inputs.
SFP ports for MADI I/O, GPI I/Os, an audio interface via USB-C and Sync, Reference and Wordclock connectors are also available, said Lawo.
The other side includes three audio interface modules that cover a variety of I/O applications: Mic/Line inputs only; Mic/Line inputs and Line outputs; as well as a module specifically for commentary applications.
The device also includes JPEG XS en-/decoding, audio MADI I/O with built-in SRC, and the mc²-grade audio DSP for low-latency local mixing.
“Despite its impressive specifications, Edge One is first and foremost about convenience and agility for broadcast and AV professionals,” said Lucas Zwicker, senior director, workflow and integration, CTO Office at Lawo. “A single stagebox can be used to connect microphones, speakers, cameras, monitors and more.”
