NEWS PROJECTS PRODUCTS SUPPORT LAWO DOWNLOAD-CENTER V__matrix vm_dmv Distributed 4K IP Multiviewer vm_dmv & theWALL at NEP, Australia INCREDIBLY POWERFUL. AMAZINGLY SCALABLE. Lawo’s vm_dmv is a true revolution in multiviewer technology. Leveraging the power of IP using Lawo’s advanced V__matrix IP video routing & processing platform, vm_dmv lets you build a true 4k UHD multiviewer that can easily grow and adapt to suit your unique requirements. Build a system as small as 24 inputs and 4 control heads, or as large as 768 inputs with 128 heads – and beyond. The secret lies in the pairing of Lawo’s unique LiveView™ technology and V__matrix architecture. vm_dmv “virtual module” apps run on C100 blades inside a V__matrix rack unit, which accepts SDI and 40GbE connections. Combining LiveView™ with the ability to “cluster” C100 processing blades keeps bandwidth requirements low, while enabling incredible scalability. Need more inputs or more control heads? Simply load another vm_dmv module to increase system capacity. vm_dmv is space-efficient, too. Each V__matrix frame accommodates at least two C100 blades, making it possible to deploy a 48-8 vm_dmv multiviewer system using only 1RU of space, for instance. And because the system is built on a true-IP backbone utilizing the ST2110 and ST2022 standards, you can build a distributed architecture, with V__matrix frames placed adjacent to source inputs and connected via Ethernet —instead of running cable bundles to the central rack room. Impressed? Read on for details. OVERVIEW “Virtual Module” app for C100 processing blades Each vm_dmv module adds 24 inputs & 4 multiviewer heads Distributed cluster solution managing all multiviewer sources and heads SDI (4K, 3G, HD, SD) and IP (ST2022-6, ST2110) for both sources and heads Pixel-perfect mosaics with ultra-low latency LiveView™ signal distribution: bandwidth optimized resource sharing across multiple mosaics Supports high-density mosaic layouts, up to 64 PiPs per 3G or UHD head Intuitive control via theWALL drag & drop HTML GUI FEATURES TRULY DISTRIBUTED The Lawo vm_dmv takes full advantage of modern network design. It utilizes a distributed architecture, with multiple software modules running on C100 blades within V__matrix frames connected via IP. Individual modules can be hosted in the same frame, or located in different frames within your facility — even in an entirely different location altogether. Which means you can also have multiviewer heads wherever you need them: Master Control, remote production facilities, even OB vans. No other multiviewer system can give you this kind of flexibility. TUNED FOR PERFORMANCE Traditional multiviewers generate control head PiPs using incoming video signals at full-scale. You can imagine the amount of bandwidth this consumes, especially with large numbers of inputs and multiple heads. Some even require multiple inputs for the same signal when it’s displayed on multiple heads. And when you’re out of system capacity — you’re out of luck. vm_dmv solves the bandwidth problem with cutting-edge LiveView™ MIP-mapping technology. Each incoming signal is optimized and downscaled, then served as four simultaneous streams of differing sizes. These streams become the LiveView PiPs used in each multiviewer head; once a source is present, it can be displayed by any (or every) head in the system. LiveView™, coupled with V__matrix’s 40GbE IP backbone, provides true bandwidth efficiency, ultra-low latency, and one-to-many source distribution — advantages traditional multiviewer designs can’t offer. Video Player SCALABLE, COMPACT, POWERFUL What makes vm_dmv different from all other multiviewers? Near-infinite scalability, thanks to its native-IP backbone and software-defined hardware platform. vm_dmv software modules run on versatile Lawo V__matrix C100 processing blades. Each module has an input capacity of 24 video sources, and four 3G mosaics with up to 64 PIPs each (or one 4K mosaic with 64 PIPs). Two C100 blades fit in each V__matrix frame – that’s 48 video inputs and 8 mosaics in just 1RU. Need more capacity? Add another blade. You can add resources quickly and efficiently, while making the most of your precious rack space. MIX LIVE PRODUCTION AND COMPRESSED VIDEO Modern workflows include many different formats, from live production and linear playout to compressed video elements from CDNs and distribution providers. Lawo’s LiveView Multi Image Processor (“LVP”) makes it not only possible, but easy to show both production (ST2110/ST2022-6) and transmission (MPEG/OTT) formats on the same screen, bringing complete end-to-end signal visibility to your control room. When added to a vm_dmv system, the LVP can be used to acquire a wide variety of media flows across multiple high capacity IP interfaces (up to 200Gb/s), analyzing the streams for for compliance using award-winning Lawo smartSCOPE technology, and outputting full frame rate decoded video, audio, and data metrics to your vm_dmv ecosystem. LiveView Multi-Image Processor Brochure INTUITIVE CONTROL theWALL talks directly to your Lawo multiviewer hardware and enables easy access using any modern touchscreen device – widescreen monitor or portable tablet. It’s OS-independent, built with HTML5, so you can control your system using iOS, Android, Windows, or Linux devices. Most functionality is intuitively controlled via drag-and-drop, with changes stored in a user managed environment. It can even be hosted in the cloud! Whether you’re swapping productions from one OB to another, or instantly recalling a favorite control room multiviewer setup, theWALL does it all. DRAG, DROP, CUSTOMIZE theWALL makes custom monitor walls easy. Choose from a huge library of pre-built templates or build a custom layout. Start by defining monitor size and number of screens, then choose a layout and make it your own. All sorts of graphical elements are available, from dynamic text, borders and timers to tallies, world clocks and audio meters. Once you’re satisfied, start assigning video sources by dragging video sources from the toolbar and dropping them onto the onscreen PIPs. It’s that easy. Save layouts for everyone to share, or tie them to your personal user account for instant recall. MOBILE MAGIC There’s a reason touchscreen GUIs are taking over the world. They use the world’s most universal tool: your finger. theWALL really shines on tablets and other mobile devices. No more asking the EIC to make time consuming layout changes — now operators can do it on-the-fly. Running theWALL on a tablet gives you full access to every tool you need. Configure any monitor wall, route signals, change mosaic layouts or save and load user presets instantly with just a touch. Click the diagram above for a better view of the tools at your disposal.
