The most significant improvements are enhanced SDP Load & Save options: single SDP files can now be loaded from or saved to text files of any extension for much greater flexibility. The other major enhancement is the ability to save and retrieve a complete list of locally created SDP announcements in a single operation. This means that complex setups can be saved and restored at any time with just a few mouse clicks. A number of minor bugs have also been resolved, resulting in an even more efficient tool for building fully interoperable AoIP networks.
According to ALC NetworX’s RAVENNA evangelist, Andreas Hildebrand the improvements are set to make an already popular tool even more appreciated. “We’ve been pleasantly surprised by the number of downloads since it was first launched,” he commented. “The last couple of months showed over 300 downloads alone, and the RAVENNA Virtual Soundcard was running at nearly 550 downloads for the same period - this clearly proves that people are increasingly deploying RAVENNA networks in their IP setups and that tools and resources such as these are highly appreciated.”
To make it even easier for RAV-2-SAP users to access all RAVENNA support material including any future program updates, the new version of the RAV-2-SAP application contains a link to the resources page embedded in the RAVENNA logo on the main page for instant, one-click access. The new RAV-2-SAP tool can be downloaded directly from the RAVENNA website at www.ravenna-network.com/resources
RAVENNA is a technology for real-time distribution of audio and other media content in IP-based network environments. Utilizing standardized network protocols and technologies, RAVENNA can operate on existing network infrastructures. RAVENNA is designed to meet the strict requirements of the pro audio market featuring low latency, full signal transparency and high reliability. While primarily targeting the professional broadcast market, RAVENNA is also suitable for deployment in other pro audio market segments like live sound, fixed installations, and recording. RAVENNA is an open technology standard without a proprietary licensing policy, and is fully compatible with the AES67 and ST2110 standards. Liaisons with standards organizations and industry alliances (e.g. AES, AIMS, AMWA, SMPTE and others) ensure the close alignment of RAVENNA technology with current industry trends.
