HOME Audio Shuffler

HOME Audio Shuffler is a HOME App that replaces a traditional baseband audio matrix within an IP-based Dynamic Media Facility. Designed for advanced audio channel remapping and signal processing in Audio-over-IP environments, and available in six preconfigured matrix sizes, it allows users to repackage incoming audio signals for different applications, to freely compile streams based on audio signals from a variety of sources, and otherwise customize an audio stream’s payload. This is especially handy for downstream applications and devices without built-in audio matrix functionality.

Supporting SMPTE ST2110-30 (24 bits) and -31 (32 bits, RAVENNA AM824 payload format) with bit transparency, HOME Audio Shuffler conforms to AES67 and ST2110-30 (Levels A, B and C) with minimal latency, while also providing redundancy options via ST2022-7 hitless merge and the HOME App auto restart mechanism, for reliable 24/7 operation.

Incoming audio streams can be reshuffled and routed to the desired transmitters (IP outputs) using the HOME Terminal Routing Matrix. Stream routing, shuffling, and many other operations can be controlled using any hardware or software panel of a workflow control system such as Lawo VSM that communicates with the required HOME Audio Shuffler instance via the HOME API.

HOME Audio Shuffler is the perfect tool for any audio deployment at scale, such as in master control rooms and any other application requiring a mix of common (e.g. clean feed) and individually contributed and controllable audio sources.

With symmetrical flow sizes between 64 and 2048 RX and TX streams that accommodate up to 64 audio channels each, HOME Audio Shuffler’s matrix size can be conveniently selected from six packages. All signal inputs come with essential DSP functionality: Gain, Mute and Polarity for each channel.
