LAMA Connect is the Swiss Army knife of audio connectivity that should be in every engineer’s tool kit.
It greatly simplifies the connection and routing of diverse audio sources and targets, including: ASIO drivers, Windows Audio and Direct Sound sources, NDI streams, Dante® streams*, Web RTC streams and even VST audio plugins.
Whether it is on the same instance, LAN, WAN, or Cloud, LAMA Connect addresses these needs by revolutionizing audio connectivity and conversion. LAMA Connect greatly improves the functionality of NDI Audio, with the ability to embed up to 256 audio channels into an NDI stream. Importantly, the timing of these streams are stable and do not drift over time. This enables the reliable transport of large channel counts between even global locations using NDI Bridge.
LAMA Connect enables seamless integration of multiple applications with its Virtual Audio Loopback Drivers. These drivers maintain audio integrity without introducing any latency. Connect can also function as a standalone virtual soundcard. This unique mode can transform any node into an operational soundcard, eliminating the requirement for a physical soundcard, such as in cloud production scenarios.
LAMA Connect enables interfacing with multiple (hardware) audio devices simultaneously for both inputs and outputs. This capability allows for the concurrent use of various audio
protocols, ensuring seamless integration and interaction across multiple devices and formats.
LAMA Connect also supports the transmission of MIDI data through NDI and a unique TCP node. They provide reliable connectivity between hardware control devices and orchestration software for LAN, WAN and Cloud based workflows.
Key Features
