Dolby Laboratories has become the latest partner to join the Ravenna partnership. The announcement comes quickly after news that Stage Tec has also become a Ravenna partner.
‘Dolby’s unsurpassed know-how and experience adds greatly to the expertise of the Ravenna community, further enhancing Ravenna’s capabilities and scope of application,’ says ALC NetworX’s Andreas Hildebrand. ‘The ability to transport audio metadata over IP alongside standard audio signals will open the doors to the world of object-based audio production. Using the Ravenna open networking technology as a basis for implementation demonstrates Ravenna’s flexibility and sustainability in the ever-increasing diversity of network-based application requirements.’
Dolby and Ravenna share a mutual commitment to support open standards for IP-based audio transport,’ adds Jeff Riedmiller, Vice President, Office of the CTO, at Dolby Laboratories. ‘Ravenna is a leader in the industry and their technology has been incorporated in many key standards.
‘We believe the addition of audio metadata to existing IP-based audio solutions will open up a whole new world of capabilities for live audio, enabling features never before possible in live audio production.’
