Broadcasters can now connect AVT broadcast hybrids and talkshow systems to Lawo radio consoles using an all-AoIP audio and control path, thanks to AVT’s addition of AES67 and Ember+ to the VoIP, ISDN and POTS phone products.
Ember+ is an open-source control developed by Lawo and made available to manufacturers free of charge. Combining Ember+ with the AES67 networking standard creates a complete AoIP audio + control solution for professional broadcast hardware and software devices.
‘An all-IP connection means even tighter integration between AVT phone systems and Lawo radio consoles,’ says Lawo’s Stephen Türkay, Senior Product Manager, Radio OnAir. ‘Even though Lawo uses Ravenna AoIP, and AVT is equipped with Dante networking, AES67 is the common language both can speak. System setup is easier, thanks to the direct AoIP connection between AVT and Lawo equipment. And AVT’s Ember+ implementation means operators will see the benefits of even better control during phone-heavy radio shows.’
‘Our mutual clients have been asking for an AoIP connection to Lawo consoles – now they have it’ says AVT Sales Director Wolfgang Peters. ‘The presence of AES67 and Ember+ within AVT phone systems makes it easier than ever for broadcasters to put truly outstanding caller audio on the air.’
