Merging Announces New Commentary Unit Features for Anubis AoIP Network Interface

During NAB 2022, Merging Technologies is showing the most recent Merging+Anubis Commentary Unit Mission, which is the latest set of features that users of the innovative compact AD/DA converter and audio network recording interface will be able to activate. Merging calls its approach to application-oriented software sets "Missions”, and this latest option is set to project Anubis into a whole new market.

Merging Technologies just announced a new updated MKII version of its popular Hapi networked audio interface and converter. Hapi was instrumental in introducing the world to Ravenna/AES67 audio-over-IP, and its economical form factor made it the ideal local stagebox or studio interface for demanding applications, benefiting from a modular interface card architecture, common with the Merging Horus flagship interface. Now, Merging launched the Hapi MKII with updated technology, making it an ideal extension for any DAW, regardless of OS.

Showing what a digital audio mixing console in the IP age can be, German company Lawo recently introduced its new mc²36, with the most compact footprint and the most powerful feature set ever. The new console expands upon Lawo's successful mc²-series control surfaces, and redefines what a compact production console can deliver, from theater, to broadcast audio applications. The all-in-one mc²36 doubles the number of DSP channels, both at 48 kHz and 96 kHz, with all industry-standard audio inputs and outputs built-in, and native IP connectivity at its center.

In 2019, Merging Technologies announced a new ambitious concept, promising to expand significantly the whole audio-over-IP ecosystem in multiple applications. Merging+Anubis caused a ripple of excitement across the industry. Now, Merging announced the availability of Anubis SPS, featuring a second RJ45 connection on the rear panel in order to offer full ST2022-7 redundancy compliance, and adding NMOS features for easier integration into a complete IP infrastructure. In addition, Merging launched its Merging Audio Device multi-ASIO driver.

Preparing for two major shows, one following the other, German media-over-IP specialist Lawo has lots of major products to showcase and reasons for visitors not to miss their presentations in either of the two shows. At Prolight+Sound 2019 Lawo will present an expanded IP portfolio for theater, live applications and install markets, including A_stage, the new members of the A_line family of WAN-capable stageboxes. For NAB 2019, Lawo will introduce a completely new AES67 / ST2110 Audio Gateway.
