There is no one perfect audio network protocol for every application. The past decade has seen Audinate’s Dante, RAVENNA from ALC NetworX, Avnu Alliance’s Milan, and Audio Engineering Society’s AES67 all rise to maturity. Each of these protocols originated in a different sector of the market, their development informed by different use cases and requirements. In this panel session, experts who have worked to shape these protocols will discuss their intents, strengths, and technical implementation. We’ll also discuss future outlook, including how companies and organizations can work together to support openness, interoperability, and ultimately network convergence. Attendees will learn how to select protocols and components to support a variety of applications.
