If you’ve been in a replay truck before, you know the feeling:
That chunky controller, those metal buttons, muscle memory kicking in at 200 BPM.
That was Classic LSM — raw, fast, legendary.
But the future? It’s already here. And it’s called LSM-VIA.
So what’s the real difference?
🖥️ The interface?
Classic was strict and fixed. VIA is modular and touch-responsive. You build your own workflow, not just follow someone else's muscle path.
🎞️ The way you manage clips?
VIA gives you real-time visibility, drag-and-drop playlist control, color tagging, and metadata that works for you — not against you.
🧠 The mindset?
Classic trained your memory. VIA rewards your logic. It’s not about remembering banks — it’s about thinking in events, context, and speed.
⚡ The pressure game?
Both systems are fast — but VIA is built for pressure, future workflows, and cross-server agility. It’s not a replacement. It’s a transformation.
🚨 The point is this:
You’re not just switching tools.
You’re switching eras.
Classic LSM made us great.
LSM-VIA will take us further.
And if you’re wondering how to actually master that jump —
Yes, we teach all of this in our EVS training courses at the University of Television.
