2023 Inductee - Philipp Lawo
In recognition of his pioneering audio and media networking technology, which have significantly advanced broadcast facilities and live production including the world’s largest live sporting events. Lawo and his team introduced ATM and MADI networked audio systems. He recognized the potential of IP technology for audio, video, and control and worked tirelessly to expand his company and its portfolio into the IP media infrastructure provider it is today. Believing in interoperability and open technologies, Lawo developed RAVENNA, which became AES67 and ST 2110-30/-31. His company’s role in founding AIMS and early light tower IP projects helped globalize the acceptance of SMPTE ST 2110 standards.
