THE PROMISE OF VIRTUALIZATION, FULFILLED

Computers have revolutionized broadcasting. Nearly everything traditionally done with hardware in a rack is now accomplished with software. Automation, tape decks, phone systems and codecs are gone. All have been replaced by software. The only thing not virtualized? The studio itself. Until now. LAWO RELAY Virtual Radio applications turn PCs into powerful, professional radio studios sending broadcast quality audio to your transmitter, streaming services, social media channels and more. Today’s powerful COTS computers run multiple apps simultaneously, saving costs associated with studio hardware. Install RELAY VPB on your playout PC and add your other broadcast apps—remote codecs, VoIP clients, instant messaging, audio processing.

RELAY unifies the software production environment, allowing you to mix and route audio to and from all your audio software and hardware devices. And because RELAY VPB works natively with AES67/RAVENNA Audio-over-IP, you can mix and route both networked and local audio. Mixing, processing, monitoring. Even routing. With touchscreen GUIs so intuitive talent learns them in minutes. Use it for live studios, off-air production, newsrooms, podcasts, remotes and OBs. No exotic hardware needed: just install RELAY software on your PC and go on air. Or put it on a laptop, and go mobile. With RELAY you can finally do it all. RELAY natively supports remoting your radio station. Programming can be recorded or sent live to the studio using a WAN, LAN or 4G/5G

LAWO RELAY VRX is the world’s first true Virtual Radio Mixer. Not just a screen controlling hardware in a rack — it’s a real software-based broadcast mixer, with a touchscreen interface so intuitive that talent learns it in minutes. Mixing, processing, even routing, are all at your fingertips. 8-fader VRX8 shines during live radio and mobile broadcasting: great in the studio; amazing on the road. (Its brother, the 4-fader VRX4, is perfect for news booths and audio contribution.)

RELAY VRX runs on today’s powerful off-the-shelf PCs and laptops, with no extra hardware required. It mixes local audio from your PC, as well as sources from your AES67/RAVENNA network. In the background, the software supports all non proprietary audio interface drivers: ASIO, WDM, WASAPI and MME. This means that audio from all devices on a single computer can pass through RELAY. So it can simultaneously connect to audio hardware (like your PC’s sound card or A__mic8), and third-party audio software like Skype, WhatsApp, and LuciLIVE. Add your favorite playout software, livestream app and visual radio software, and you’re ready to go on air.
