After helping the University of Nebraska’s HuskerVision program production system with its audio, Lawo was called upon to bring on the video. “HuskerVision has completed the second phase of a multiyear modernization effort with the deployment of a comprehensive ST 2110-based video infrastructure powered by Lawo,” a press release announced.
Chief among the requests was to bring numerous campus venues into a single IP backbone and route that through a master control room located at the football stadium.
A release explains, “At the core of the new video infrastructure is Lawo’s .edge platform, used both as a high-density gateway and as a full IP processing node. Multiple .edge frames provide 3G SDI and 12G SDI ingest, while native ST 2110 connectivity and quad 25 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces feed the production fabric.”
Lawo’s Home apps are used in running the content production, ingestion and distribution operations.
Besides program creation, HuskerVision is also a teaching tool with many students providing the labor. BeckTV Senior Engineer and University of Nebraska alumnus Brock Raum said, “Students are doing real engineering tasks now. They’re learning on the same tools used in the broadcast trucks.” Broadcast systems integrator BeckTV provided services.
