W17 - AUDIO NETWORKING FOR THE PROS

Chair:
Umberto Zanghieri, ZP Engineering srl - Rome, Italy
Panelists:
Michael Page, Peavey Digital Research - Oxford, UK

Abstract:
Several solutions are available on the market today for digital audio transfer over conventional data cabling, but only some of them allow usage of standard networking equipment. This workshop presents some commercially available solutions (Cobranet, Livewire, Ethersound, Dante), with specific focus on noncompressed, low-latency audio transmission for pro-audio and live applications, using standard IEEE 802.3 network technology. The main challenges of digital audio transport will be outlined, including compatibility with common networking equipment, reliability, latency, and deployment. Typical scenarios will be proposed, with panelists explaining their own approaches and solutions.
