HOME Power Core

Virtual DSP Mixing Engine for Broadcast

The HOME Power Core app leverages the agility of Lawo’s HOME Apps platform to provide instant processing, mixing, routing and monitoring for radio and TV workflows where physical Power Core units are not available, already in use, or impractical. For each application, users can choose among a compact, a large, and an XL instance of the app to make sensible use of the available CPU cores.

In addition to supporting the SMPTE ST2110, RAVENNA, AES67, Dante, NDI, and SRT transport formats, HOME Power Core provides DSP algorithms derived from Lawo’s mc² mixing platform for pristine audio quality. Its native NDI and Dante AV routing, encoding, and transcoding capabilities will streamline visual-radio workflows.

While the HOME Power Core app includes a range of out-of-the box configurations for many common on-air applications, operators also enjoy the liberty of creating highly customized configurations using the powerful built-in workflow and logic engine.

HOME Power Core interacts with all I/O sources and destinations connected to the IP network, such as physical Power Core devices, A__line stageboxes, .edge audio streams, Lawo Virtual Soundcards and other RAVENNA, ST2110, AES67 or Dante compliant audio devices. It can be controlled from the modular diamond console, the more compact and versatile crystal console, Lawo’s virtual on-air interface—crystal Clear, and Lawo’s configurable software UI—VisTool, that complements or replaces a physical human interface.

Like all HOME Apps, HOME Power Core supports both Lawo Flex subscription credits, for maximum ad-hoc processing agility, and perpetual licenses for those who prefer to own the app.
