Digigram to Showcase RAVENNA/AES67 Compatibility at IBC2014

Digigram is once again pushing forward technological development, promising to show RAVENNA/AES67 connectivity in practice with the company’s IQOYA range of audio-over-IP (AoIP) codecs. At the IBC 2014 show in Amsterdam, the company intends to show how RAVENNA connectivity enables greater flexibility in audio infrastructures.

“Rio, July 2014: It was one of those gigs where nothing can be allowed to go wrong.” This is the amusing start of a great story were audio over IP technology actually helped to save the day, in this case, with Merging Horus’ interfaces and a Ravenna network connection. Maybe it was that amusing for those involved, when things didn’t happen according to plan.

Digigram confirmed availability of its LX-IP RAVENNA AES67-Enabled PCIe Sound Card with optional MADI interface. The French IP audio and IP video pioneer also confirms it will be displaying extended RAVENNA/AES67 solutions during the IBC 2014 Show in Amsterdam, including a new LX-MADI PCIe Sound Card.

The World Cup 2014 in Brazil has been the ideal test field for the first live global broadcasts in Ultra High-Definition (4K). Used for 4K football live production at Maracanã Stadium, GloboSat’s new TV OB truck is fitted with audio equipment from Lawo and state-of-the-art RAVENNA IP networking technology.

RAVENNA is clearly gaining momentum in the broadcast arena. The technology for real-time distribution of audio and other media content in IP-based network environments just received the endorsement from GatesAir.
