Lawo Presents Ruby 'Visual Radio Console' At Broadcast India Show 2018

Lawo presents the Ruby mixing console for Radio broadcasters, at the Broadcast India Show 2018 in Mumbai, at the booth of its Indian partner - Cineom Broadcast India Ltd.

“In the modern radio studio, talent is glued to their computer screens,” says Michael Dosch, senior product manager, Radio OnAir, Lawo. “And for good reason, off the-shelf PCs have become so powerful that stations are using them to do almost everything in the radio studio. This is an example of how advancements in IT are revolutionizing radio,” he added.

“More recently, touchscreen smartphones and tablets have become an essential part of daily life. We at Lawo saw touchscreens as another opportunity to revolutionise radio. And that is why we call Ruby the Visual Radio Console,” affirms Dosch.

Ruby is matched to the modern radio studio, enabling operators to mix and route audio using the same multi-touch onscreen environment used by other studio tools. The result is a more natural and efficient way of working, with the additional huge benefit of reducing studio monitor clutter. The Ruby surface blends physical faders and switches with multi-touch controls; these ‘soft’ controls can exist alongside other studio applications such as playout systems, phone queues and codecs - enabling operators to adjust settings quickly and easily without diverting their focus.
