Calrec Audio has joined the AVnu Alliance, an industry consortium formed to develop a streaming standard for networked audio and video content.
Calrec joins more than 50 manufacturers who make up the
forum which is dedicated to the advancement of professional quality audio
and video by promoting the adoption of the IEEE 802.1 Audio
Video Bridging standards.
“The AVB standard addresses Ethernet’s most serious shortcomings
as a transport for streaming audio,†said Calrec Technical Director Patrick
Warrington.
“We know a lot about audio networking and have already
brought two solutions to the table because we want to ensure
that our customers’ needs are well-represented in the new protocol. We
hope that AVnu accreditation will come to be recognised as a stamp of quality.â€
