THE BOSTON SECTION OF THE AUDIO ENGINEERING SOCIETY PRESENTS…
IEEE Audio Video Bridging and Professional Audio:
A Preview of What’s Coming by Guy Fedorkow
Tues. March 9th, 7pm
Boston College - Walsh Function Room
Ethernet is the most widely-deployed technology in the history of
networking, and is continuing to gain ground. This talk will describe
on-going work undertaken by the IEEE 802.1 Audio/Video Bridging (AVB)
group to standardize the transmission of real-time audio and video
content across Ethernet networks, enabling many new applications where
A/V gear, computers and networking equipment can be connected together
without special cables, proprietary interfaces and unusual adapter
cards. We’ll cut through some of the Ethernet jargon to
understand how the AVB protocols work, and what they can and cannot do,
and how the work might change the world of professional and consumer
audio and video.
Guy C. Fedorkow has years of experience in computer networking at Bolt,
Beranek and Newman, and at Cisco Systems, where he worked in both
development of communications products and also networking standards.
He’s currently working for Adamson Systems Engineering as a
consultant on development of AVB standards and equipment.
