Lawo’s booth (5H700) will welcome some of its partners who will share their experiences with Lawo’s IP solutions. The presenters speaking at Lawo’s booth were directly involved in the planning, installation, and operation of the systems, and have agreed to share their experience and insights. Lawo says attendees are welcome to ask questions and find out more about the challenges and lessons learned from these implementations.

While La Monnaie (Brussels) will present the AV tools it used for its immersive-audio “Fanny and Alexander” production, Teatro Real (Madrid), one of the world’s most renowned opera houses, will focus on its three mc²56 consoles powered by six redundant A__UHD Core audio engines for a variety of production workflows.
And the Gran Teatre del Liceu (Barcelona) will also present the venue’s roadmap for immersive and sophisticated audio and video productions. ISE attendees can register here.
Crystal Broadcast Console
At ISE, visitors will also see the Crystal Broadcast Console, a compact mixing solution built on RAVENNA/AES67 networking standards. Fully compliant with SMPTE ST2110-30/-31 for audio and ST2022-7 for redundancy, the crystal console supports a wide range of audio sources, including AES67, MADI, analog, AES3, and Dante.
The crystal console operates in two distinct modes. In Power Core mode, it acts as an independent mixer powered by Lawo’s Power Core engine, a software-defined, high-density DSP and modular I/O device that supports expandable connectivity for a variety of audio formats. In Controller mode, the crystal console becomes part of a larger production setup by serving as an extension interface for Lawo’s mc² audio production consoles.
Designed to fit into space-constrained environments, the crystal console features a high-density control surface in light and dark versions and configurations with 6, 8, or 14 faders. Its expandable I/O and customisable Virtual Extensions make it ideal for small to mid-sized studios, regional broadcast operations, or as an auxiliary controller in large-scale setups.
The mc²36 audio production console
Lawo will also showcase the mc²36 audio production console, a versatile tool for theatres, houses of worship, live events, corporate settings, and broadcast applications. With integrated A__UHD Core functionality, the mc²36 delivers 384 processing channels, native support for ST2110, AES67, RAVENNA, and Ember+, and I/O capacity of 864 channels.
Key features include touch-sensitive rotary controls, LiveView video thumbnails, colour TFT fader-strip displays, and advanced loudness monitoring compliant with ITU 1770 standards. Lawo says its compact footprint make it the ideal solution for demanding audio production environments where space and performance are critical.
HOME apps
Lawo will also display its HOME apps, which are built on a microservice-based architecture for media workflows, supporting mixed technologies and formats such as SMPTE ST2110, JPEG XS, NDI, SRT, Dante and H.264/H.265.
The app family of 10 includes the HOME Multiviewer, UDX Converter with HDR processing, and Graphic Inserter; the HOME mc² DSP App delivers powerful audio processing with features such as advanced EQ and dynamics control, while the HOME Test Pattern Generator, Colour Corrector with HDR capabilities, and Timecode Generator offer tools for live and post-production environments. The HOME Downstream Keyer, the most recent addition, provides video overlay capabilities for dynamic live productions.
HOME platform: The backbone of IP workflows
Lawo’s HOME unified, open management platform for IP-based media infrastructures is designed to connect, manage and secure. Natively built on a cloud-ready microservices architecture, it enables users to connect, manage and secure networked production setups from the ground up.
Furthermore, it provides centralised access to, and control over, all Lawo gear within a setup. Lawo says HOME helps broadcast professionals address some of the most demanding requirements of modern IP infrastructures, including automated discovery and registration of devices, connection management, flow control, software & firmware management, scalability and security.
Lawo’s HOME platform is based on open standards, e.g. SMPTE ST2110, NMOS, IEEE802.1x and RADIUS, and follows LUX, Lawo’s unified experience design principles.
