Lawo presents at NAB 2017

According to Türkay, “It’s only natural that radio wants to take advantage of the huge power available in today’s PC platforms. We eliminated tape machines and carts 20 years ago in favor of PCs, and PC power has doubled many times over since then, but we still use it in the studio just for playout! There’s a lot we can do with that power.”

“Virtualization has been a dominant trend in Information Technology over the past years,” notes Dosch. “IT has found that moving processes to Virtual Machines results in more scalable systems, more reliable infrastructure, and systems that can be quickly diagnosed and administered remotely. Moving audio mixing, codecs, phones, audio processing and other tools out of hardware, and into the virtual domain along with playout, will help broadcast studios to become more reliable, serviceable, and scalable too.”
