Lawo has introduced the HOME mc² DSP app, the microservice-based equivalent of the company’s A__UHD Core.
A new member of the HOME Apps family, the ultra-low-latency HOME mc² DSP app is described as a server-based, agile audio engine.
The app is designed to combine the flexibility of the HOME Apps platform in terms of connectivity and scalability with Lawo’s audio processing quality, said the company.
HOME mc² DSP’s primary purpose is to provide audio processing in situations where no A__UHD Core is available or where remaining within the HOME Apps realm is more practical, added Lawo.
“HOME mc² DSP leverages the unique granularity and flexibility of the HOME Apps platform regarding input and output media transport protocols,” said Christian Struck, Lawo’s senior product manager, Audio Infrastructure. “It will support mixed-format SMPTE ST 2110, NDI, and SRT production environments, and newer formats that may become relevant further down the line. There are no plans to discontinue the A__UHD Core as it remains the processing tool of choice for audio-only workflows in a live-sound context.”
The HOME mc² DSP app can be used together with mc² mixing consoles or to instantiate a (virtual) mixing system at the press of a button wherever audio processing is required at short notice, the company said.
