New Ravenna, AES67 and ST2110-30 Cross-Platform SDK Now Available

A new software development company headquartered in The Netherlands, Sound on Digital is the latest name to join the Ravenna audio-over-IP partner community. Founded by a team of developers with experience in audio networking and programming, Sound on Digital recently announced the availability of RavennaKit, a new Software Development Kit (SDK) for implementing audio-over-IP technology into new products.

Among the many interesting demonstrations of new audio solutions for developers presented by TDK at CES 2020, the T5808 MIPI standard SoundWire microphone stands out as a "world's first," using the MIPI Alliance SoundWire compliant digital interface which allows bi-directional data flow. The T5808 is a multi-mode, low noise digital MEMS microphone in a small package, consisting of a MEMS microphone element and an impedance converter amplifier followed by a fourth-order Σ-Δ modulator.

At IBC 2018, Ross Video is launching a pin-compatible drop-in replacement module to Dante Brooklyn II, named BACH Liberty. BACH Liberty features a fully compliant AES67 and ST2110 implementation, complete with full-stack support of RAVENNA, Dante/SAP, Livewire+, NMOS and various other network protocols and control solutions. Equipment manufacturers no longer have to wait for full AES67 and ST2110 compliance, nor tie themselves to a single supplier for their audio networking technology.
