Media Networking Alliance AES67 Live Demonstrations at IBC 2016

With the broadcast and digital production communities focused on reaching an agreement on a new IP standard for video, the audio equation is well advanced, even if dependent upon an interoperability standard to connect different protocols, such as Dante, RAVENNA, Livewire and others. During the 2016 International Broadcasting Convention, the Media Networking Alliance live demos will serve to show how AES67 is the neutral ground upon which dozens of live demos depend upon.

At IBC 2016 (8-13 September) there be will one of the strongest showings ever for audio-over-IP network technologies and IP interoperability efforts, now extending also into broadcast and video production infrastructures. Multiple companies involved in the RAVENNA/AES67 efforts are promoting demonstrations and introducing new products at their own booths, as well as participating in the Media Networking Alliance (MNA) and Alliance of IP Media Solutions (AIMS) IP Interoperability Zone.
