Lawo’s European Parliament project in Brussels and Strasbourg is a good example of how a specific assignment—installing a more powerful audio router and an agile control system— can evolve into a much larger endeavor that enables the customer to cover all video, audio and transport bases for their specific application. This project shows that the value of IP-based WAN links for the transport of video and audio is not limited to the broadcast world—any scenario where such data need to move from A to B (and beyond) benefits from an IP approach.

For the 2024 election night, the EP’s Hemicycle in Brussels was transformed into a large open space for the media and press. Members of the written press were welcome to use the delegates’ desks. Behind them, the election taskforce prepared 60 standup positions on three floors at the back of the Hemicycle, for public and private broadcasters. An additional 90 standup positions were installed elsewhere on the campus.

For perfect redundancy, every device and solution, including the giant LED wall, was available in duplicate. Signal distribution was handled using the European Parliament’s IP backbone installed in collaboration with Lawo.
