Unveiling of HOME 4.0 Software Platform by Lawo
Lawo's HOME 4.0 IP-native management platform is now available, offering a comprehensive solution for broadcasters and media organisations managing complex, evolving IP-based infrastructures.
Embracing Industry Standards
HOME 4.0 supports a range of industry standards, including SMPTE ST 2110, AES67, NMOS IS-04/05, IEEE 802.1x, and RADIUS. These standards ensure secure, standards-based IP workflows, making HOME 4.0 an ideal choice for modern media environments.
Flexible and Scalable Architecture
Built on cloud-native, containerized microservices, HOME 4.0 allows for flexible deployment across multiple locations, on-premises, or in the cloud. This architecture provides a unified solution for device discovery, parameter control, stream routing, and intuitive system operation, seamlessly integrating with Lawo’s hardware, software, and HOME Apps for functions like signal processing, monitoring, commentary, and transcoding.
Introducing HOME Passes
A landmark update in HOME 4.0 is the introduction of the HOME Passes licensing model. This model replaces all previous HOME Core licenses and requires one HOME Pass per actively managed device or HOME App in the system inventory. The transparent and scalable licensing approach aligns license costs directly with active usage, enhancing cost control and allowing precise licensing planning.
Cost Control and Flexibility
The HOME Passes licensing model is particularly advantageous for dynamic and fluctuating infrastructures. Fewer devices mean fewer licenses and lower costs, while additional devices can be licensed on-demand as the system grows, offering greater operational flexibility and financial efficiency.
Availability and Onboarding
HOME 4.0 is now available at no cost, supporting agile project planning and faster deployment. The inclusion of HOME Passes with newly purchased Lawo devices and HOME Apps streamlines the onboarding process for users starting with HOME 4.0 or higher.
No Initial Licensing Investment
HOME 4.0 does not require an initial licensing investment in smaller or temporary environments, making it an accessible solution for organisations of all sizes.
