But do these technologies always offer the right tool for the job?•What if I need to manage both audio and video signals simultaneously? •Or what if I require encryption? ConsSingle-Source Technology Solutions Applications differ in requirementsLATENCY & SCALESECURITYUSER SOPHISTICATIONSIGNAL MIXSUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE Is one tool always right for the job? Monopolistic Control Systems•Stifles Innovation•Reduced set of applications addressedOpen Control Systems•Multiple vendors innovate & adapt technology stacks to the needs of particular applications•Drive greater innovationSOLUTION: A technology stack built on open technologies How?The AES67 & 2110 ecosystem features multiple vendors innovating using core networking technology from multiple suppliers, such as Ross Video, ALC NetworX, Embrionixor their own internal solutions. Analogy: Linux vs. Windows OS•25 years ago, when Linux was still in its infancy, it was hard to use and limited in capability. •But it was open and free to innovate, and so untold numbers of developers jumped on!•Who guessed then how Linux would evolve? Linux Innovation in ActionUS ATC 24,000 flights/ day85% of smartphones50% of global fin. transactions To p 1 0 S u p e r c o m p u t e r s AES67/ 2110 Innovation Examples The Challenge:•Broadcasters want to transport audio across a continental network•Network latencies up to 80msec Innovation:•Implementation of a network latency compensation mechanism leveraging the larger WAN buffers in fully compliant AES67/ 2110-30 solutions•Handles up to 500msec of latencyAES67/ 2110 Innovation WAN Latency The Challenge: •Meet the needs of broadcast applications, with converged video and audio, based on open tech•Keep up with the rapid advances in NMOS, ST2110, … Innovation: Uncompromising PerformanceInnovation: •Highest-performance, robust and extremely flexible ST 2110 audio networking solution •512 channels, 96kHz, 125 µs packet time and up to 80 channels per stream The Challenge:•A standards-based AoIPsolution with control customized to the unique needs of intercom applicationsInnovation:•Open JSON API allowing the use of the customer’s UI and control system•Customization of specific clock signals enabled synchronization of wireless equipmentAES67/ ST 2110 Innovations Customizable UI and Workflow The Challenge:•AES67 & ST 2110 solution enabling container-based audio processing on Linux COTS serversInnovation:•AES67 ST 2110 AoIPsolution in a Linux Docker •End-to-end latency of ~1msec for live audio processing•Natively supports multiple protocols: NMOS, RAVENNA, Ross DashBoard& JSON RESTful APIAES67 ST 2110 Low Latency Virtual Sound Card for MicroservicePlatform The Challenge:•Intuitive, free, and multivendor audio network manager with patch-panelInnovation:•ANEMAN a simple, open and free controller created by Merging & Digigram•Works w/ any manufacturer via plug-in•ANEMAN engine framework will be fully open-sourced to drive further innovationAES67/ 2110 Innovation Centralized Audio Controller •Windows still has significant market share. It continues to serve a purpose very well, but it does not serve all applications.•Who doubts the value of Linux anymore? •Free & open•Unleash innovation•Join us in developing the "full stack" using open technologies, and enable applications that we can’t even dream of todayOpen takes longer to get started, but… Thank You!Nestor AmayaRoss Video
