The mc2 Micro Core is a versatile standalone audio processing core, providing 192 DSP channels and a routing matrix of 512x512 channels. It is connected to the outside world via four RAVENNA / AES67 ports – if MADI connectivity is needed, this can be readily accomplished with A__madi 4, Lawo´s bidirectional MADI-to-RAVENNA interface. The mc2 Micro Core is designed to be controlled by a variety of external studio control systems, as well as Lawo’s intuitive, touchscreen optimized mxGUI software. The device is a perfect option for small-sized automated applications where external studio control systems are triggering the operation, e.g. in automated newsroom productions. Other applications include small-sized routing applications with DSP processing, e.g. for metering, and install sound applications, where renowned Lawo processing features like Automix allow automated mixing e.g. of panel discussions in meeting rooms. Supported protocols and control systems include VSM, Evertz, Quartz, BFE, Pharos, Ross RAP, GV Ignite and Vizrt Mosart, among others. The processing core provides extensive diagnostic tools for remote maintenance, including log files and http access, just like any mc2 console. The compact 19“/3RU device uses inaudible, low-spinning fans for cooling.
