RAVENNA IP-based networking technology

ST 2110 audio is split into two transport methods - each built for a different job 💪

✅ ST 2110‑30 moves linear PCM and aligns directly with AES67 for interoperability.
✅ ST 2110‑31 extends this to AES3, metadata and formats like Dolby®E, based on RAVENNA’s AM824.

Together with AES67, these standards define how audio travels reliably across IP networks - all supported within RAVENNA.

When the world is watching, RAVENNA is working 🎥

Here’s something you probably didn’t know - some of the world’s biggest live events wouldn’t have made it to air without RAVENNA.

When the stakes are global and failure isn’t an option, broadcasters rely on its flexibility and proven ability to run reliably within complex IT environments alongside other IP‑based systems.

Limit packet delay variation (PDV) with QoS ✅

“Differentiated Services” (DiffServ), a Quality of Service (QoS) method available on the IP layer can counter PDV.

Switches typically process and forward packets based on their Ethernet header information. With DiffServ enabled they can “snoop” into the IP header and evaluate the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field.

Learn more about DiffServ in Hildebrand’s White Paper - “Your flight will be delayed by 5 ms” Understanding Latency in AoIP Systems 📝

💡 Fun fact: RAVENNA had all the key elements of AES67 before AES67 was created.

So when the standard arrived, RAVENNA didn’t need to adapt - it already spoke the language 🗣️

Three shows. One week.

A strong showing from our RAVENNA Partners across the board 💪

At the Peerless‑AV Showcase, Netgear demonstrated the switching platforms used across many Pro AV and RAVENNA workflows 🔌

At PLASA, Peavey Electronics, Sennheiser and RiedeI Communications showcased their latest RAVENNA‑enabled solutions 🔊

And at MPTS, LAWO, Netgear, Meinberg and DirectOut highlighted how RAVENNA supports modern broadcast, timing and IP production 📡

Event season is well underway - with more RAVENNA Partner highlights coming in June from ABTT: Association of British Theatre Technicians and InfoComm Show 🔜

Demystifying Discovery
Part 2: Why Discovery Isn’t Required & The Future of AES67

In Part 1, we unpacked AES67, SIP and discovery mechanisms - so is discovery actually necessary? 🔊

AES67 was designed to allow audio to pass and intended to make things as flexible as possible.

Implementing a method of discovery could have actually inhibited some protocols from becoming AES67 compatible ❌

Advertisement and discovery, as well as directory services, are used for lots of other services purposes on a network. These services are already in place and may be used for AES67 advertisement streams as well.

🔑 The key to the future success of AES67 is to be as compatible as possible.

Discovery is helpful, but not essential.

Swipe through our carousel for a deeper look at why discovery is optional, and the future of AES67 ➡️
