RATATT, GERMANY—The German developer of the Virtual Studio Manager monitoring system has announced that it will rename itself Lawo and fully integrate into the Lawo company structure. All of the company’s products now fall under the Lawo brand.

The two companies had previously collaborated, but will now work under the same banner to advance VSM as a manufacturer-independent control system that is open for all remote protocols and to establish the new multiviewer control software theWALL for monitor walls.

“The additional R&D resources within Lawo and the extensive expertise in user interface design complement existing capacity of the present Lawo Gmbh team in Wiesbaden in order to develop the VSM toolbox and user experience even further,” said Jamie Dunn, head of global sales for the former L-S-B, pictured aat left. “These expanded resources will enable VSM and theWALL to evolve even faster and better suited to customers’ needs and requirements.”

WIESBADEN, GERMANY—Making its debut at the upcoming 2015 IBC Show will be L-S-B’s new product, theWALL. With theWALL, a software tool for setting up and controlling multiviewers, users can configure monitor walls, route signals, change monitor layouts or save and load their own presets.

As a software-based tool, theWALL is able to integrate with most multiviewers, enabling users to change different kinds of multiviewers with a single tool. The software talks directly to the multiviewers and a GUI for mobile control. The software app can run on all major devices, with all major functions available and can be triggered via drag and drop. Additional features include automatic calibration of multiviewer resolution and aspect ratio and user management for individualized presets.

L-S-B will be located at booth 8.B35 during IBC 2015, which runs from Sept. 11-15 in Amsterdam.
