Ross Introduces IGGY AoIP AES67 to MADI Converter at IBC 2018

Following the introduction of the new NEWT IP Gear series of products at NAB 2018, where Ross offers a simple SMPTE ST2110 compliant IP gateway with audio and video crossbars for I/O routing and more, at the IBC 2018 show in Amsterdam Ross expanded the possibilities on audio-over-IP (AoIP) connectivity with the introduction of IGGY, a clever and very useful AES67 / ST2110 to MADI audio converter box, which is powered over Ethernet and supports for NMOS, EmBER+, Dante/SAP, Livewire+ and DashBoard environments.

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.

British digital broadcast console specialist, Calrec Audio has a lot to show at IBC 2018. Following a presentation at NAB 2018, in Las Vegas, the company will be showing its new modular, expandable, IP-based radio system, Type R, for the first time in Europe. Calrec is also previewing its new Impulse core, the next generation audio processing platform and routing engine with AES67 and SMPTE 2110 connectivity, compatible with existing control surfaces.

At NAB New York, Ross Video unveiled Newt, a revolutionary new species of AIMS-compliant point-of-use IP signal converters, and the world's first UHD-over-IP to HDMI-2.0 converter. The solution reinforces Ross’ commitment to IP with future-proof investments with a solution that easily adapts to rapidly changing environments. Newt supports open control protocols such as NMOS IS-04 and IS-05, EmBER+/RAVENNA, Dante/SAP, and DashBoard, responding to evolving IP media infrastructures.
