LEM Commercial AVCore 8.8

FEATURES

AVCore 8.8 is a next-generation AV processing center, designed to combine high-performance audio DSP, 4K video switching, USB-C AV capture, and centralized room management into a single, compact 19" 1U rack-mount unit. It is not merely an audio matrix with conference automix, but a true fully automated audio/video production suite, capable of handling camera framing, priorities, presets, and transitions in an intelligent and speaker-synchronized manner.

As mentioned, the unit integrates advanced audio processing, seamless 4x1+1 HDMI switching, a USB 3.0 hub, USB Type-C AV capture, and a full set of DSP functions: HP/LP filters, EQ, AGC, compressors, feedback suppressors, limiters, delay, and multi-level automix. With a total of 9 input channels (8 analog channels + 1 USB audio card channel) and 9 output channels (8 analog channels + 1 USB audio card channel), the AVCore 8.8 easily manages complex conference rooms by integrating microphones, speakers, UC systems, and all types of AV devices.

Its true uniqueness lies in its automated video production: through programmable presets, the system can automatically frame the speaker, switch cameras based on audio automix priority, activate Picture-in-Picture when two people speak simultaneously, and independently manage video production for local monitors and remote conference participants (Zoom, Teams, etc.). Native integration between audio automix and video switching allows for extremely natural behavior: whoever is speaking is framed, whoever intervenes takes the stage, and the room manages itself!

The Windows-based DSP Controller software allows for complete system configuration: routing, DSP module editing, RS-232/RS-485 management, presets, custom panels, and advanced security. The 16 preset slots allow you to save complex configurations and recall them instantly. The most powerful feature is the custom UI, which enables integrators to create tailored interfaces for technicians and end-users, restricting access only to authorized functions.

Thanks to its extremely competitive price compared to high-end integrated AV solutions, AVCore 8.8 represents a truly unique product on the market, capable of offering intelligent, automated, and professional audio-video production in a single compact unit.

Main features
