Lawo has announced that modular Prodigy.MP and Prodigy.MC audio converters from DirectOut are now fully integrated with the recently introduced HOME ecosystem.
It means that the converters will benefit from instant IP discovery and registration, stream routing, device monitoring, diagnostics, parameter control and the security features offered by the HOME platform that are all enabled through a single control API. One result is that the Prodigy parameters can be tweaked from an mc²-series console with built-in HOME functionality.
Christian Struck, Lawo senior product manager audio production, says of DirectOut’s decision to support HOME in addition to the RAVENNA and ST2110-30 and -31 protocols as well as all ST2022-7 options: “Especially in the performing arts and on live stages where audio recording and playback quality is critical, operators like to leverage the excellent sound of Prodigy audio preamps in combination with a Lawo mc²-series console. A direct line of communication between the two provides centralized access to comprehensive parameter tweaks and all the real-time information, security and control today’s operators require.”
DirectOut managing director and CTO Claudio Becker-Foss adds, “The decision to support HOME natively is based on the benefits this platform offers to our user base. They expect a lot more than automatic discovery and registration capabilities. With this tight integration, audio operators will be able to access our devices’ comprehensive feature set directly from the convenience of, e.g., an mc² console surface. Conversely, this tie-up will allow users to benefit from our gateway options into the Dante and RAVENNA realms at all sampling rates supported by Lawo’s A__UHD Core.”
Attendees at the upcoming NAB 2023 show in Las Vegas can visit an example setup with a PRODIGY.MC at the Lawo booth (C4111).
