Logitek Debuts Unified Glass Console and AoIP Engine at NAB Show
Logitek is introducing two new products, Glide and JetFlex, designed to modernize broadcast studio architecture. Glide is described as the first self-contained 'glass' console, while JetFlex is a 2RU platform serving as a console engine, audio router, or flexible AoIP I/O device. Both products will be demonstrated at the NAB Show in the MaxxKonnect booth.
Key Takeaways
- Glide is described as the first fully self-contained "glass" console, operating without an external computer.
- JetFlex is a 2RU platform that combines routing, logic control, and modular audio I/O, supporting Livewire, Dante, and AES67 protocols.
- JetFlex can serve as the engine for Glide, a standalone AoIP I/O solution, or Logitek's mixIT physical surface.
- The products were announced by Logitek founder Tag Borland and MaxxKonnect president/CEO Josh Bohn.
Why It Matters
The introduction of a self-contained glass console and a flexible AoIP engine addresses the industry's drive for streamlined, cost-effective, and scalable broadcast infrastructure. This approach reduces hardware complexity and offers broadcasters a more integrated solution for studio operations. The integration of multiple audio protocols within JetFlex reflects the continued push for interoperability in AoIP environments, critical for managing diverse broadcast ecosystems. Moving forward, competitive responses and adoption rates of these unified systems will indicate the market's receptiveness to more consolidated broadcast architecture solutions.
