AVB Brings AV and IT Together
The AV industry has experienced exponential growth in the last 10 years and
shows no signs of slowing down. The development of Digital Signal Processing
(DSP) has required a number of protocol innovations both in telephony and in
transporting digital media around a facility. Traditionally this has been handled
by the use of licensed or proprietary audio or video protocols. More recently
the development of the Audio Video Bridging (AVB) Protocol from the IEEE
allows standards to be used that deliver low latency, high channel count media
content.
These technological breakthroughs have
also heralded the biggest and most
important change of all: the convergence
of AV and IT. This change means
adopting new ways of doing business
and reinventing the ways we create value
for our customers. We’ve met this latest
challenge with the industry’s first truly
scalable media system for digital audio
networking using AVB: Biamp Tesira®.
In order to enable our customers to do
more with their AV systems–scale larger
and faster, facilitate more signals and
send signals further–we had to develop
a hardware platform that incorporated
cutting-edge technology and training and
support that expanded the Biamp legacy
for product innovation. Tesira is that
product, and AVB is its specialty.
This guide is a comprehensive support
resource about the basics of AVB, how end users can benefit from it, and what
we can expect from AVB in the future.
Using AVB,
an IT manager can
have a mixed data
network, making their
responsibilities as the
manager of
AV systems much
more time- and
cost-eective.
