V__matrixSoftware-defined IP Core Routing & Processing Platform
KEY FEATURESUnified routing and processing core infrastructure
High-density IP aggregation for legacy SDI equipment (up to 160 I/O in 3RU)
Optimum utilization of resources: Significantly reduced footprint, power consumption, spare pooling and cabling
Sophisticated multi-layer redundancy for signal, network, control and hardware layers
Virtualized system with software-defined processing based on function-agnostic processing blades
Source- and destination-timed frame-accurate clean switching using COTS switches with VSM software-defined networking (SDN)
Distributed processing over multiple networked processing blades
Seamless SDI to IP migration utilizing one unified control system (VSM)
V__matrixWhat is it?
World’s 1st virtualized broadcast ecosystem with software-defined
functionality based on high-capacity generic compute blades
What does it do?
Free from the restrictions of legacy hardware platforms V__matrix
offers a completely virtualized real-time routing and processing
infrastructure. Instead of connecting single purpose modular
products in elaborate production chains the V__matrix is based
on data center principles of flexibility, fabric computing and COTS
economics and makes these available to any live production
broadcast environment. Whether OB truck, TV studio or broadcast
operation center, V__matrix creates a fully virtualized core
infrastructure.
The V__matrix ecosystem is based on generic high performance
core processing blades upon which Virtual Modules (VMs) are
loaded to create the functionality required. Each core processing
blade has dual QSFP+ connectors and can connect to COTS
switches with redundant 10GE or 40GE to create a fully distributed
IP routing and processing matrix. Using VSM SDN control X/Y
routing is frame-accurate just like with a legacy baseband router.
The V__matrix ecosystem scales linearly from tens to thousands of
I/O and processing functions which makes it ideal for any size live
broadcast facility, small or large.
The functionality of any core processing blade can be changed
in minutes by simply loading a different VM software package
thereby easily adapting to new requirements. A large selection of
available VMs include IP/SDI En-/Decapsulation, Routing, Frame-
Synchronizing, Audio & Video Delay, Audio Embed/De-embed,
Audio/Video Proc, Color Correction, Timecode Insertion, Test Signal
Generator, AV sync measurement, Waveform and Vectorscope
Display, Sync Generator & IEEE1588/PTP Master clock and lots
more. V__matrix opens the door to a fully format and function
agnostic infrastructure that finally provides broadcasters the
flexibility and capability to cope with the challenges of the future.
SPECSSDI I/O: 20x 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD including SDI <-> IP encapsulation/decapsulation per processing blade (SMPTE 2110), up to 160x SDI I/O per 3RU
IP I/O: 2x 40GE QSFP+ ports per processing blade for redundant connectivity to high capacity COTS switches plus 1x GE port for control & monitoring
Fully based on open standards in-line with the AIMS roadmap

What is it?
Advanced On-Air Mixing Console for Radio
What does it do?
sapphire compact is the ideal mixing desk for the modern AoIP
studio. This console simplifi es the workfl ow of complex and fast-
paced live radio shows with a number of new innovative features.
Autogain, for example, quickly optimizes the dynamic range of
microphone preamps adaptively with a single button. Another
Lawo innovation is Automix, our intelligent DSP algorithm which
gives presenters the power to create content hands-free and error-
free. Additionally, sapphire compact delivers a unique layering
feature which allows the console to manage a live broadcast while
also performing alternate tasks such as voice tracking, phone call
editing, and even light production. The elegant and fl exible control
surface design is available in desktop or fl ush-mounted styles.
A deceptively-compact 1RU engine powers the control surface and
delivers sophisticated signal processing functions along with a full
complement of audio inputs and outputs – both analog and digital,
AoIP and baseband.
