HOME Commentary

Even a compact traditional commentary setup is still rather bulky and requires a solid technical background to get users up and running. The HOME Commentary app provides a fresh approach to any commentary scenario, whether off-tube or on-location.

Commentators or contributors can monitor up to 2 videos, send their audio and video to production for contribution or monitoring, and interact with production coordination via a built-in talkback route. In its most compact form, the Lawo Workspace UI built into the HOME Commentary app can be accessed on any laptop, tablet or phone and only requires a microphone and a pair of headphones to get started.

In the event of an issue, an engineer can access the same browser-based workspace to provide tech support from anywhere in the world without first setting up a second line or using dedicated remote control software.

The commentator’s coordination mix tunnel and talkback are processed in the HOME Apps backend, but can also be controlled directly from the Workspace UI. A built-in audio engine provides local mixing and low-latency monitoring directly in the HOME Commentary app.

While commentators a free to use a high-end audio gateway for top-tier events, remote commentary jobs can also be handled with a USB-C microphone to which a pair of headphones is connected, and the host device’s built-in camera. The HOME Commentary app delivers all-in-one commentary in its most intuitive form—with a proven track record at global events.
