Orban signs partnership to integrate Ravenna
Published: ASIA
WORLD: Orban, a provider of audio processing for television, radio, and Internet broadcasting, has signed a Ravenna technology partnership with ALC NetworX, the company behind the real-time media networking technology. The partnership will allow for fast implementation of open standard network connectivity into Orban products.
‘We’re delighted to be able to offer Ravenna networking and connectivity solutions to our customers,’ said Greg Ogonowski, VP of new product development at Orban. ‘Ravenna was born of a need to offer high quality, reliable audio networking and is currently the only solution on the market that is fully AES67 compatible. Furthermore, the developers of Ravenna come from a broadcast background and so they fully understand the highly demanding requirements of a broadcast environment. By implementing Ravenna in our devices, we are investing in the next generation of audio systems deployment and offering our customers a future-proofed infrastructure based on an open technology standard.’
With this solution, Orban products can now connect to other Ravenna-enabled devices, including Axia’s Livewire products. Through native support of the new AES67 interoperability standard, all products are future-proof with respect to network interconnectivity.
Andreas Hildebrand, senior product manager of ALC NetworX, is also pleased with the partnership. ‘We are delighted to see growing adoption of the Ravenna technology, specifically by US-based solution providers,’ he commented. ‘With Orban, a pioneer in sound processing and best-known for their famous Optimod, we welcome yet another manufacturer of world-class broadcast products and solutions to the Ravenna community. By integrating Ravenna’s AES67-compatible audio-over-IP streaming technology, Orban builds on standardised and future-proof network interoperability for their advanced sound processing solutions.’
