In the dynamic world of broadcast workflows and technologies, efficiently managing audio signals across multiple sources and targets is a persistent challenge. Answering this need is LAMA Connect, a virtual patch bay revolutionizing audio signal connectivity. It embraces diverse sources and targets, including ASIO drivers, VST plugins, NDI streams, WebRTC streams, and bringing together multiple applications through a virtual ASIO driver that maintains audio integrity without introducing any latency.
Inspired by the vision to replace traditional 19-inch racks, LAMA Connect will also support MIDI data and OSC data transmissions between its instances. This enhancement will facilitate efficient control data routing from on-premise to cloud-based audio solutions. On a longer timeline, the roadmap for LAMA Connect includes the integration of SRT streams, 2110, and video capabilities for audio embedding and de-embedding.
LAMA Connect also opens up new possibilities with the capacity to embed up to 256 channels of audio into an NDI stream (255 when using NDI bridge). This technology allows for effortless audio routing between various locations using NDI bridge. In addition, LAMA Connect offers a unique virtual soundcard mode, transforming any node into an operational soundcard, eliminating the necessity for a physical soundcard in the machine. Crucially, the timing of NDI streams in Connect is stable and does not drift over time.
Connect is currently still in active development and available as early access.

LAMA Mix
Designed in close cooperation with major broadcasters, the LAMA Mix software mixer is a true broadcast mixer without the traditional limitations of hardware, that is equally at home running on a local computer or in the cloud.
LAMA AutoMix/MixAssist
The term Automix has been used since the 1970s. In reality, these simple predominantly hardware-based systems are not content aware and simply prioritizing the loudest audio signal.
LAMA AutoSync
The LAMA AutoSync software solution automatically and continuously measures the amount of delay between the different signals and applies this delay to the target audio. This ensures near-sample level synchronization.
