This low-latency Multiviewer application is part of the first batch of agile HOME Apps that no longer require dedicated, bespoke hardware, ­relying instead on cloud-native microservice technology such as Docker.

HOME Multiviewer is perfectly suited for high-bandwidth/low-latency ST2110 broadcast environments, SRT stream workflows in the cloud, NDI devices, compressed formats, and so on. The number of PiPs can easily be adapted to the job at hand. Going from one to up to 32 splits in a real-world scenario (more splits are possible) is a simple matter of setting the relevant ­parameter in HOME which, among many other things, acts as the GUI for all HOME Apps.

Multiviewer layouts for up to 64 PiPs—complete with customizable tallies, alarms, clocks, level meters, OSDs, UMDs, and metadata—are created with Lawo’s intuitive theWALL app, which sits inside the HOME cluster.
