- RAVENNA’s Role in the current AoIP Landscape
- In this presentation, Andreas Hildebrand, RAVENNA Evangelist at ALC NetworX, will provide an overview on the current AoIP landscape and explain what RAVENNA's role is among the fish in the pond. A brief history on audio networking will answer the question, why RAVENNA was developed in the first place (``yet another fish in the pond?``), leading onto the more recent developments of AES67 and SMPTE ST2110 and how they relate to RAVENNA. If you are already involved in the RAVENNA and/or AES67 & ST2110 world on a day-to-day basis, this presentation may simply offer some useful revision. For those who are not so familiar with the topic, it provides an excellent starting point for getting acquainted with RAVENNA and the wider landscape of Audio-over-IP standards and technologies

- Unraveling Audio Networking: An in-depth look at Dante, AVB and MADI
- In today’s audio world, digital audio systems have surpassed people’s expectations and dare we say, becoming the go-to systems over the more traditional counterparts. From their flexibility and ability to adapt according to the user’s needs, i.e. ranging from a personal home studio to major concert productions, these systems have proven to be reliable, functional and most importantly non-complicated to use. From minimizing set-up time to working with fewer cables, the biggest plus is you do not have to be an IT expert to use these systems. These technologies are so streamlined and ergonomic, no specialized knowledge is needed to work with them. On the contrary, as complex as these systems are, for the user they offer a high level of familiarity. This presentation will look into the advantages each system has to offer, what they are, where and how they are used, and answer any questions the participants have.

- AVB/MILAN for Live Sound – the L-Acoustics Approach
- Created by pro AV market leaders within Avnu Alliance, Milan is a standards-based, user-driven deterministic network protocol for professional media. Milan combines the technical benefits of the AVB standard with Pro AV market-defined device requirements at both the network and the application layer for media streams, formats, clocking, and redundancy. This presentation introduces the AVB/Milan eco-system within the L-Acoustics product portfolio. From front-end (P1 processor) to distribution (LS10 switch) and amplification (LA2Xi-LA4X-LA12X Amplified Controllers), AVB/Milan is now the L-Acoustics reference format for distribution of audio and control data over a single, possibly redundant, network.
