With the introduction of a batch of new apps at IBC, the LawoHOME platform now hosts nine processing apps, and the company is promising more to come in the weeks following IBC.

Running on Lawo’s HOME management platform, the full lineup includes the HOME Multiviewer, HOME UDX Converter with HDR processing, HOME Stream Transcoder, HOME Graphic Inserter, HOME mc² DSP, HOME Test Pattern/Test Tone Generator (TPG), HOME Color Corrector with HDR Processing, HOME Timecode Generator, and HOME Delay.
Lawo says all can scale to different and/or more powerful generic compute platforms and architectures, to expand the feature set of existing apps at short notice. Users can also start and stop HOME Apps and intuitively “assemble” cutting-edge processing blocks with a choice of microservice-based components.
Chris Scheck, Head of Marketing Content, Lawo, said: “HOME has already been used for major events this year. I think everybody’s convinced that the next generation of processing resources will no longer be bespoke hardware but will be apps running on generic servers.”
