Lawo’s V__matrix vm_dmv solution is a true 4k UHD multiviewer that easily grows and adapts to suit changing 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 pairing Lawo’s unique LiveView™ MIP-mapping technology with V__matrix architecture. Incoming signals are bandwidth optimized and downscaled, then served as four simultaneous streams of differing default sizes. These streams become PiPs which can be further scaled to any desired display size in each multiviewer head; once a source is present, it can be displayed by any (or every) head in the system. LiveView™, with V__matrix’s 40GbE IP backbone, provides true bandwidth efficiency, ultra-low latency, and one-to-many source distribution.
vm_dmv “virtual module” apps run on C100 blades inside a Lawo 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. V__matrix’s distributed architecture, with software modules in different locations connected via IP, means you can have multiviewer heads wherever you need them: Master Control, remote production facilities, even OB vans. No other multiviewer system gives this kind of flexibility.
