Nova73 HD

Router for medium-size and larger installations

Routers at their best.

 

Set up, connect, and switch on. Anyone who chooses a Nova73 HD has clearly decided for cutting-edge technology, absolute serviceability and an easy-to-operate user interface. The HD technology offers everything you would expect from a modern router — 96kHz operation, Dolby-E compatibility, and clock-synchronised switching to video frames or internal DSP. But what makes the Nova73 HD really special is that all its features are deliberately designed to be easy to use — an enormous advantage both in day-to-day operation, during installation and maintenance.

Routers are not all, but without routers, all is nothing.

Nova73 HD brochure

Routers are important, and they are an investment that needs to prove itself in daily use for years to come. With Lawo you always profit from outstanding quality — whether you choose a single product or an entire complex routing system.

FEATURES

In terms of performance, what makes Nova73 HD so persuasive is its massive potential of up to 8,192 inputs/outputs, available via RAVENNA, AES3, DANTE and MADI interfaces but all in a compact 10U package. In terms of configuration and user friendliness, Nova73 HD features a hot-plug capability and online configuration that even allows you to expand and change the system during live broadcasts. In terms of security, Lawo’s STAR² technology provides maximum redundancy and fail-safe operation. When it comes to performance and reliability, all the facts speak in favour of Nova73 HD.

SERIAL INDIVIDUALITY.

Tailor-made solutions for large audio distribution systems.
High availability and reliability, great scalability and flexibility: Networks of Lawo Nova routers  enable efficient installation and operation of very large routing systems which are geographically far away from one another. By networking Lawo matrices, a nearly unlimited scalability can be achieved. Another benefit: The Nova network allows direct usage of public networks.

MORE ADVANTAGES

  • Flexible modular platform, scalable up to 8,192 mono channels
  • Enormous interface versatility via I/O system DALLIS with fibre-optic infrastructure and with optional DANTE connections
  • Easy maintenance management thanks to a graphic interface and the possibility of on-air configuration
  • Unique Dual Self-Healing Star topology possible

THE MOST IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHTS OF NETWORKED NOVA SYSTEMS.

 

With Lawo you benefit from having a partner who understands your requirements to their very core. And who provides you with a comprehensive service for solutions from one source and a technology which also meets the highest of demands. That, for instance, means: thanks to networking matrixes, a nearly unlimited scalability can be achieved. Whether it is an entire radio station or temporary distribution system at a football world cup – your routing system can be adapted to your growing demands and is perfectly equipped for the tasks of the years ahead – an important point, also with regard to value retention and investment security.
