The servers can be based in different locations and provide all data multiple times, thereby providing a redundant system. A redundant designed multiserver system can include up to 16 servers in one cluster. ![]() The base of the VSM control system consists of one or multiple routers, for increased redundancy. The TCP/IP structure also allows remote access to the system. If the latter only features serial ports, CommServers must be used to translate from RS-422 or RS-232 to TCP/IP. Devices to be controlled are connected to the IP backbone, while third party devices are connected to the VSM via TCP/IP or RS-422/RS-232. This means that the VSM is designed as an “Island Solution” but can also be smoothly integrated into an existing network. This makes the Virtual Studio Manager the most flexible control solution to satisfy constantly evolving production demands. Most importantly, the VSM offers a unique feature: when running together with the vsmPanel application, the control system provides numerous, freely configurable software front-ends for all users and applications. Additionally, the VSM control system offers functions, such as Tally, GPI, and Tie-Line Management as well as global labels of connected devices without requiring additional control systems. The VSM controls routers and their integrated DSP functions, multiviewers, video mixers, audio consoles and modular equipment as well as any third-party devices. ![]() ![]() Having become the standard for OB-Vans, VSM has also proven itself to be a reliable partner for control functions in radio and TV studios, and master control rooms, around the globe. During the last few years, this vision has grown into one of today’s most powerful and cost-efficient universal control systems for broadcast applications. Thus, components such as a video switcher or router can be interchanged at any time, without impacting upon the end-user operation. The basic concept of Lawo's Virtual Studio Manager (VSM) is to control all production devices, their parameters and functionalities from a single, freely-configurable user interface which remains independent of the manufacturer.
