With Waves’ Cloud MX Audio Mixer operating on AWS, broadcast professionals enjoy a superior-sounding cloud-based mixer; scalable processing resources to match the event requirements and budget; secure cloud access, which enables production staff to work from anywhere while protecting broadcast media and data; reduced operational costs through streamlined staff scheduling and consolidated workflows; and reduced capital expenditures using scalable cloud resources in place of on-premise and OB hardware investments.The Waves Cloud MX Audio Mixer is NDI®-compatible, fitting easily into NDI-based environments, with easy patching and routing of NDI audio streams to simplify integration with the entire cloud production system. The cloud-based deployment also makes it easy to scale productions. Any number of audio mixers can be used simultaneously without the operational costs involved in shipping, maintaining, or scheduling on-premise gear and personnel.Broadcasters and media organizations using Waves’ Cloud MX Audio Mixer can now ensure an enhanced professional final production mix.
