Lawo’s vm_avp is a versatile audio and video processing software application that provides routing, processing and glue functionality for the V__matrix eco-system. In base form, vm_avp provides encapsulation and de-encapsulation of 3G, HD and SD-SDI (ST2022-6/7 only) to IP ST2022-6 and ST2110-20/21/30/31/40, making vm_avp is the logical choice for both gateway and purely IP-based A/V processing, providing up to 160 SDI<->IP conversions in 3RU. ST2022-7 seamless protection switching is standard, with IP stream format conversion and frame accurate video switching using destination-timed clean and quiet switching (MBB & BBM) with audio V-fade during switching.
Several optional add-on licenses further expand the capabilities of vm_avp, adding embedding/de-embedding and shuffling of audio from both IP and baseband I/O with sample rate conversion, an audio matrix upgrade that expands total instances of RAVENNA/AES67/ST2110-30/-31 streaming and provides vast audio shuffling crossbars, a MADI expansion, the option to add framesync, frame phaser, sample rate conversion, dolby-E alignment and audio/video delay functionality for both IP and baseband video inputs, VC2/DiracPro ultra-low latency encoding and decoding capability, YUV & RGB color correction, and support for 12 Gbps video standards.
