Axc-ADSP Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter DSP Card for Auvitran Audio Toolbox AxC-ADSP Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter DSP card for AuviTran Audio ToolBox AxC-ADSP Overview Just as every AxC card within the Audio ToolBox range, the AxC-ADSP can equally be used in AVBx3 or AVBx7 platforms. Using one slot of either ToolBox, the AxC-ADSP can acts as an Asynchronous Sample Rate Conversion (ASRC) card or as a Digital Signal Processing card. ASRC enables to exchange audio channels between an AxC-Card working with a different frequency or with another clock domain than the other cards. Key Features Mechanical Specifications ■ An AxC-ADSP card enables to exchange 128 IO 200 x 100 x 40 mm: AuviTran Audio ToolBox platform channels at 2 different frequencies. It is an ASRC AxC card format interface between one of the AxC audio network or digital interface card and any other Audio/Network AxC-ADSP Applications AxC cards of an AVBx3 or AVBx7. The AxC•ADSP is a smart solution to easily exchange ■ Up to 3xAxC-ADSP cards can be used in an audio channel between different audio network or digital AVBx7. They manage audio exchanges of up to 4x interface working at different frequencies. 128 IO channels with up to 4x different Audio Clock frequencies domain in only a 2U 19” frame. ■ Digital audio Interconnexion of a networking audio Each clock domain can be connected via an AxC system in a stadium, a theatre, an opera, a live concert to an incoming OB van to broadcast the audio network (Dante, AES67, CobraNet, event and synchronized with different clock source EtherSound) or an AxC digital interfaces, (Madi, and different kind of interface (Dante, AES67, MADI, AES/EBU, ADAT).

  • AES67 Standard and What It Means for the AV Industry
    TECH TALK 78 Systems Integration Asia August - September 2015 About AES67 Standard And What It Means For The AV Industry AES67 is not intended to replace existing solutions, but to offer means for interoperability among them Many of you would have heard about the AES67 standard that was developed by the Audio Engineering Society and published in September 2013. To promote the adoption of AES67, The Media Networking Alliance (MNA) was formed in October 2014. SI Asia speaks to Andreas Hildebrand,Senior Product Manager at ALC NetworX GmbH, the company that is responsible for RAVENNA networking technologies and also a member of MNA, to know more about AES67. What is AES67 all about? guidelines. A prerequisite was not In the overall audio eco- What loophole or space is to invent yet another, completely system, how does AES67 this meant to fill which was new solution, but to try to identify and the solutions fit into the not previously available? commonalities among the existing picture? AES67 is a standard published by solutions and use available technology The advantage of having an the Audio Engineering Society on standards and protocols already interoperability standard for various September 11th, 2013, addressing employed. The idea was to allow solutions is obvious: while there may be “High-performance Streaming Audio- current solution providers to adopt a sound ecosystem of products already over-IP Interoperability”. It defines a AES67 with as little effort as possible available for individual solutions, none set of guidelines which provide a basis and provide AES67 interoperability of these solutions can fit all applications for achieving interoperability between either via a special mode of operation areas.

  • Synchronized Real Time Audio Streaming Over Ethernet in Embedded Systems
    Synchronized real time audio streaming over ethernet in embedded systems A thesis submitted for the degree Master of Science in Information Technology submitted by Indumathi Duraipandian 926286 Fachbereich Informatik und Elektrotechnik Fachhochschule Kiel January 2018 Declaration of Authorship I, Indumathi Duraipandian, declare that this thesis titled, `SYNCHRONIZED REAL TIME AUDIO STREAMING OVER ETHERNET IN EMBEDDED SYSTEMS' and the work presented in it are my own. I confirm that: This work was done wholly or mainly while in candidature for a research degree at this University. Where any part of this thesis has previously been submitted for a degree or any other qualification at this University or any other institution, this has been clearly stated. Where I have consulted the published work of others, this is always clearly at- tributed. Where I have quoted from the work of others, the source is always given. With the exception of such quotations, this thesis is entirely my own work. I have acknowledged all main sources of help. Where the thesis is based on work done by myself jointly with others, I have made clear exactly what was done by others and what I have contributed myself. Signed: Date: i Abstract In any complex audio video networks such as professional audio recording studios, au- tomotive or in-flight infotainment systems, concert avenues or even home entertainment systems, the connection between the various audio/ video sources and sinks are mostly analog, point to point and serve a single purpose. This leads to tonnes of confusing cables, each cable serving a specific data exchange. Even the digital solutions such as I2S, S/PDIF, AES3 for short distance connections, most for automotive applications and Firewire (IEEE 1394), HDMI or audio over USB for high bandwidth applications, still require purpose built cables and proprietary software to work correctly and still they lack interoperability.

  • The Relationship Between Dante, AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110
    v1.0 - Dec 2019 The Relationship Between Dante, AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110 Introduction to the SMPTE ST 2110 Implementation on Dante Preface As of September 2019, all pieces of Audinate’s SMPTE ST 2110 implementation are publicly available. This also updates the pre-existing AES67 implementation, making it ST 2110-compatible and allowing for the multicast stream address to be manually determined. At Audinate, we felt the release of ST 2110 interoperability was a good time to share our vision for how Dante and open standards work together. This document also offers clarity on some myths and misconceptions we hear in the market today, especially around PTPv1 and PTPv2. Table of Contents pg. 1. A Brief History of Audio Networks 1. Network Solutions 1. Legacy: CobraNet and EtherSound 1. Ethernet Evolves 2. Audinate’s View of AES67 2. Origins: Desire for Interoperability between Network Solutions 3.
