Sky New Zealand Upgrades With Lawo IP Technology
Lawo partner and system integrator Professional Audio & Television (PAT) has announced the supply and commissioning of a Lawo mc²56 48 fader production console to Sky New Zealand.
Sky is New Zealand's leading entertainment company and home to the broadest choice in live sport, movies, shows, documentaries, and breaking news. Sky offers a suite of viewing choices to suit every New Zealander, whether it’s through the Sky Box and companion app 'Sky Go' for premium direct-to-home customers, or through its streaming services 'Sky Sport Now' for sport or 'Neon' for movies and entertainment. Sky also owns free-to-air channel 'Prime'.
When the time came for Sky to replace their old Lawo mc²66 console and Nova73 TDM-based system, the team at Sky selected both PAT and Lawo to collaborate on the design, upgrade and commissioning of their new IP audio system. The new mc²56MkIII console is powered by two fully redundant, 1RU super compact Lawo A__UHD-Core audio engines. Integrated into the console is the RTW TM7 audio metering unit, giving the Sky audio operators reliable eyes on their audio.
Lawo's cloud-native management platform HOME is responsible for connecting, managing and securing all audio aspects of Sky’s live production environment and is supported by six PowerCore I/O gateway nodes with full support for ST2110, AES67, RAVENNA & DANTE. The media network is clocked by a Meinberg M1000 with dual HPS100 High Precision PTP modules, each card offers the ability to support up to 2,048 PTP-Clients in Unicast, as well as more than 250,000 Delay Requests per second in Multicast or Hybrid mode or more than 400,000 NTP requests per second. Phase 2 of this project will see Sky's existing Lawo mc²36 console and several Lawo V__pro8 video processors integrated into their new IP workflows.
