The vm_udx “virtual module” is a software app for the Lawo V__matrix ecosystem that provides a format conversion engine capable of processing four SD, HD, 3G or one UHD path for IP and/or SDI signals with additional audio embedding/de-embedding/shuffling functionality. Audio gain, delay and sample rate conversion can be accessed through independent processing blocks, which can be inserted anywhere within the processing chain. Up to eight instances of broadcast quality RGB and YUV color correction and video proc are also available as processing blocks for use by any video source, whether SDI or IP, both pre- and post-format conversion, plus color space conversion (SDR to/from HDR) functionality. vm_udx app natively supports ST2022-6 and ST2110-20 IP video plus ST2110-30/-31/AES67 and RAVENNA IP audio streams. Conversion between IP video and IP audio standards is also possible. ST2022-7 hitless protection switching is natively supported.
An optional +HDR add-on enables four instances of SDR<->HDR color space conversion using 3D lookup tables. A large selection of LUTs especially developed for live production are included for conversion between SDR and HDR in HLG and PQ, and custom LUTs can be uploaded.
