Lawo Technology
J

apanese Broadcaster NHK has
fielded a new OB truck in the US
market fitted with Lawo technology
and designed specifically to capture
major US sports events and deliver a
unique, high-quality audio experience
to its viewers back home.
The mobile unit is the first RAVENNAbased truck in the US, utilising Lawo's

newest dual-fader mc²56xt mixing
console.
The console provides a 64-fader
surface in an audio booth with
only 84-inches of linear space. It
accommodates 288 DSP paths with
8,192 x 8,192 audio routing capability
and three DALLIS I/O stageboxes in a
redundant configuration.

AERIGON UAV
Ramps Up Air
USA: AERIGON, the aerial remote
camera head manufactured by
Intuitive
Aerial,
empowered
filmmaker Ty Evans to capture
spectacular
shots
for
the
skateboarding feature film We
Are Blood. With the precision and
manoeuvrability of AERIGON, the
camera was able to follow the
skateboarding action and capture
shots that would never have been
possible before.
The AERIGON UAV provides a
versatile yet stable aerial platform
for 5K and 6K digital cameras with
pro cinema lenses.

LEADER Heads
To Paris Show
FRA: LEADER is heading to SATIS
in Paris where it will demo its LV
5490 multi-standard waveform
monitor test instrument.
The unit supports resolutions from
525 and 625 SD up to 3840 x 2160
and 4096 x 2160 4K/UHD.
An integral CINELITE feature allows
luminance levels to be measured at
up to three different points.
The included CINEZONE employs
false colours to indicate luminance
levels for lining up virtual sets.

In a long-standing cooperative
effort between NHK and Lawo, the
two companies have been working
together to develop the tools and
practical applications needed to create
an immersive audio experience with
3D surround audio and are committed
to developing further technical
innovations.
In its current configuration the truck
supports conventional stereo and
surround mix capabilities and serves
as a test bed for deployment of 22.2
surround mixing and monitoring.
The truck's debut was a live
broadcast of a baseball game between
Boston Red Sox and the New York
Yankees that took place on September
28 in New York.
