Networked Audio: NA01 - Practical Benefits through AES67 Deployment in the Broadcast Industry: A Synopsis

Presenter:
Nestor Amaya, Ross Video / COVELOZ Technologies - Ottawa, ON, Canada

With migration to the network now firmly on the horizon as we look to leverage commodity infrastructure for real-time media distribution, we will discuss how AES67 opens the door for a broader diversity of networked-connected solutions in your facility. As an interoperability standard for high-performance audio over IP, learn about those manufacturers at the forefront of this technology and how AES67 provides the ability to combine products and solutions from multiple vendors.


AES Members can watch a video of this session for free.

Networked Audio: NA02 - Who Owns the Audio Network, AV or IT?

Presenter:
Patrick Kilianey, Yamaha - Professional Audio Division - Buena Park, CA, USA

How would you feel if IT decided to mix your next show? Nervous? Well then, don’t be surprised if IT is uneasy when we add computer network equipment in their facility. This session will cover some ideas on how to work with IT, whether your network is intended to connect to theirs or not. We’ll offer insights to common IT concerns and how to address them with infrastructure design and network topology. Real-world examples will be given. We will also discuss differences in expectations between typical IT departments and AV personnel—addressing these early can prevent costly change orders and rework later.

Networked Audio: NA03 - First Steps with Digital Audio Networks

Presenter:
Patrick Kilianey, Yamaha - Professional Audio Division - Buena Park, CA, USA

From live sound systems, recording, broadcast, and distributed audio, everything runs on a network. But do you know why audio networks are powerful? This session will explain the value audio networks bring as it replaces massive analog and digital interconnects, splitters, routers, and computer interfaces. We will discuss how to keep systems simple enough for most audio technicians to manage, and we will touch on interfacing with an IT department. Finally, we will offer some perspective on popular networks, where you will find them and why.

Networked Audio: NA04 - ST 2110 & AES67: The Audio Parts of ST 2110

Presenter:
Andreas Hildebrand, ALC NetworX GmbH - Munich, Germany

We will describe the basic principles of AES67 and the commonalities, differences, and constraints defined in ST2110 with respect to synchronization and transport of audio essence streams. Included is a brief outlook on how transport of non-linear audio formats (AES3) will most likely be defined in ST2110.

Networked Audio: NA07 - How to Leverage AES67 to Integrate Multiple Networked Audio Systems

Presenters:
Andreas Hildebrand, ALC NetworX GmbH - Munich, Germany
Will Hoult, Focusrite
Greg Shay, The Telos Alliance - Cleveland, OH, USA

Experienced trainers will take participants through the workflow of configuring audio streaming from one networked audio platform to another using AES67. Attendees will see how AES67 complements the various AoIP solutions including Dante, RAVENNA, Q-LAN, and Livewire+ allowing for networked audio interoperability using standard IP networking techniques. Topics will include network configuration, stream setup in each of the platforms and troubleshooting.

Networked Audio: NA06 - AV Networking—A One-Size-Fits-All Prospect?

Presenter:
Henning Kaltheuner, d&b audiotechnik GmbH - Backnang, Germany

Discussions about media network solutions are ongoing within the professional AV industry and its corresponding applications and business fields. As new standard proposals continue to arise, the issue of "the one right network" is becoming increasingly debatable. This event outlines the different user and customer requirements for media networking solutions for a variety of applications and contexts such as live event production, broadcast, performance, and commercial installations. These requirements are matched with key characteristics of the most relevant currently discussed network standards, and why differing market demands drive network standards now and in the future.

Networked Audio: NA05 - AES67 Interoperability—Network Audio Systems: A Report on the State of the Technology

Chair:
Nicolas Sturmel, Merging Technologies - Puidoux, Switzerland
Panelists:
Andreas Hildebrand, ALC NetworX GmbH - Munich, Germany
Chris Roberts, BBC
Greg Shay, The Telos Alliance - Cleveland, OH, USA

The AES67 standard for High-performance streaming audio-over-IP interoperability was released in 2013. However, while the standard defines what protocols and functions need to be supported, it still leaves various choices open to the implementer. Interoperability between AES67 devices has been practiced many times at AES67 plug fests and IP Showcases since 2013. This workshop will mainly focus on how to achieve interoperability within the standard. The panelists will share their own experience in preparing for interoperability showcase or tests, designing products, configuring the network and accommodating the various choices open in the standards. Practical advice and tools to facilitate interoperability will also be given to the audience.

Networked Audio: NA08 - AES67 Practical

Presenter:
Andreas Hildebrand, ALC NetworX GmbH - Munich, Germany

The AES67 Standard on High performance Streaming Audio-over-IP Interoperability was published in September 2013. Since then, first applications with AES67-compatible devices have been projected and put into operation. This session will give insight and provide tips on system planning, device and network configuration, management, and monitoring.

Networked Audio: NA09 - How to Make an AES70 Device

Presenter:
Jeff Berryman, Bosch Communications - Claymont, Delaware, USA

Making an AES70-controllable device is not unduly difficult, once you have a basic understanding of the AES70 device model. This session will present the recommended steps in designing a device's AES70 control interface, and discuss realities of implementing it. One or more examples will be given.
