Network Audio: N3 - Audio Networks—Paradigm Shift for Broadcasters

Chair:
Stefan Ledergerber, Lawo Group - Zurich, Switzerland; LES Switzerland GmbH
Panelists:
Kevin Gross, AVA Networks - Boulder, CO, USA
Andreas Hildebrand, ALC NetworX - Munich, Germany

Greg Shay, Telos Alliance/Axia - Cleveland, OH, USA

Abstract:
Today a variety of audio networking technologies are emerging. However, a number of questions related to workflow in broadcasting organizations seem still unanswered. This panel will try to find possible answers to some of the hot topics, such as:

• Will traditional crosspoint matrix switches (routers) disappear and fully be replaced by networks?
• Which component will deal with signal processing, which is currently done within audio routers?
• Which department is handling audio networks: audio or IT?
• How do we educate personnel handling audio networks?

The panelists will explain their views from a technology provider point of view, but lively participation by the audience is highly appreciated.
