Beyerdynamic, OnTime Networks and AudioScience have joined the AVnu Alliance in a further boost to the AVB standard.
“When AVB came on the scene, AudioScience noted that it was IEEE standards-based and had prominent installed sound and network
silicon companies behind it,†says Stephen Turner, company vice president. “With AVB being completely scalable and covering industries ranging from consumer,
through pro to automotive, we feel that AVnu-certified AVB is a contender for the holy grail of audio and video over
networks, and so have chosen to rally around it through the AVnu Alliance."
“We see AVB as the future network platform
for real-time multimedia applications at low latency,†says Ulrich Roth, director of R&D for beyerdynamic. “We intend to integrate AVB
interfaces into our wireless systems and conference devices. Through our AVnu Alliance participation, we can ensure compatibility with all other AVB
devices.â€
Øyvind Holmeide, managing director for OnTime Networks adds: “For a company dedicated to providing precise timing over Ethernet, joining the
AVnu Alliance is a natural step for us as we move towards the A/V market. We are pleased to join the
alliance since it will provide us with the necessary momentum to be an enabler for AVB in the automation and automotive industry.â€
