Ravenna is a technology for real-time distribution of audio and other media content in IP-based network environments. Unlike most other existing networking solutions, Ravenna is an open technology standard with no proprietary licensing policy. Ravenna is fully compatible with the AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110 standards. Liaisons with standards organizations and industry alliances (i.e., AES, AIMS, AMWA, SMPTE and others) ensure the close alignment of Ravenna technology with current industry trends. Ravenna can operate on existing network infrastructures and is designed to meet the strict requirements of the pro audio market featuring low latency, full signal transparency and high reliability.
Netgear has been developing commercial network equipment for over 25 years and has become a market leading switch manufacturer for AV-over-IP. With its AV Line series of network switches, Netgear has reduced common installation frictions with pre-set profiles for AV-over-IP protocols, from one-room setups to very large AV networks with thousands of endpoints.
"We recognize the importance of key affiliations and associations that make the Pro AV industry work. From integration partners around the world, to AV companies helping to create new ways of working in Pro AV, Netgear maintains relationships with a number of organizations, and is pleased to add Ravenna to that esteemed company," says Netgear’s Laurent Masia, director of product line management for managed switches.
Andreas Hildebrand, Ravenna Evangelist at ALC NetworX, confirms the importance of Netgear's support to Ravenna: "Netgear is a renowned manufacturer of networking equipment for all major markets, servicing projects ranging from residential all the way up to enterprise-scale applications. With Ravenna now stretching its legs into the ProAV market, Netgear with its ProAV range of products and experience in the Commercial market is a valuable partner for the Ravenna partner community. Manufacturers and system integrators can benefit from Netgear’s industry-leading product suite and unmatched services and support."
