Introduced at IBC 2015, Lawo’s Jade VSC virtual soundcard is now shipping. The software enables Windows-based audio applications to fully integrate with AoIP networks without the requirement for external hardware interfaces.

The software supports 64 channels of bi-directional Ravenna exchange and true AES67 streaming in the Microsoft Windows environment, and provides multiple WDM drivers and an ASIO driver that can be loaded by more than one application at the same time. It also features advanced real-time broadcast-quality sample-rate conversion for transparent playback of content sampled at a different rate than the network.

‘Jade Virtual Soundcard is a perfect fit, whenever you just need to get audio software on PCs or Servers connected to IP-based audio networks’, explains Lawo, Director of Virtual Radio Projects, Mike Dosch. ‘No matter if it’s only a single user application or a full broadcast station, broadcasters with large or remote facilities will love the fact that they can access drivers remotely via a separate control application. Jade VSC also gives broadcast software developers the ability to make their products comply with the AES67 networking standard quickly and easily.’
