Dubai Channels Network Trusts in Lawo VSM, V__pro8s for Pair of New OB Vans

Lawo’s V__pro8 video processing toolkits were the starter, now VSM are the next course for Dubai Channels Network. The company already equipped their Outside Broadcast Division with Lawo’s V__pro8 video processing units for embedding/de-embedding, frame-syncing, color correction and other tasks, thus reducing valuable weight, rack-space and power requirements.

DCN recently ordered Lawo’s VSM Broadcast Control and Monitoring System for two new OB vans to be installed on servers, providing sophisticated IP-based broadcast control and monitoring, integrating management of all on-board and external equipment within a single system.

VSM uses a TCP/IP backbone and offers maximum interoperability through the use of manufacturer-independent protocols, and controls all major brands and models of video and audio routers, video and audio mixers, intercoms, under-monitor displays and multiviewers, as well as glue equipment and other third-party devices.

User panels and interfaces can be configured without limitation to meet the requirements of different workflows and applications, while the whole system is under redundant control. Settings across the complete OB van can be stored and re-called by the push of a button.
