Last week we discussed the anatomy of a network–what it’s made of, but what exactly is networked audio? Simply stated, networked audio is the transporting of audio from one endpoint to another over an Ethernet network. The major benefits include: High quality, low latency, multiple channel count. Time syncing and data transfer management. Dynamic control over the routing of digital audio. Large distance connections. Large channel counts over a single cable. Dynamic routing of signals. Decentralizing of AV systems. The use of standard network equipment to decrease overall physical infrastructure. The possibility of running AV over existing networks. The use of network redundancy in mission critical installations. The bridging of…
