French digital acoustics specialist Trinnov Audio and Italian radio transmitter specialist Elenos Group have joined the Ravenna partnership. The news follows the recent announcement of partnerships with Dolby, Stage Tec and Ross Video.
Expert in 3D audio and high-end speaker and room optimisation for a variety of applications, Trinnov Audio’s arrival coincides with the launch of the MC-HCC Ravenna/AES67-enabled processor.
‘Trinnov has been involved with the audio calibration of high-channel-count systems for more than ten years,’ says Pro Audio Product Manager and lead software architect, Samuel Tracol. ‘We are confident that supporting Ravenna and being able to offer up to 64 channels of high-resolution audio processing over IP will increase our success in large immersive sound mix stages.’
Elenos specialises in FM transmitters and has recently developed a Ravenna-enabled transmitter in order to expand its connectivity offerings to the radio broadcast market.,
‘The trend in radio broadcast is clearly shifting towards IP as a more cost-effective and reliable means of signal transport, and where audio is concerned, Ravenna and AES67 is the dominant force,’ says Marketing Manager, Gianluca Busi. ‘It is therefore a logical step for us to develop a Ravenna-enabled platform for easy integration into Ravenna/AES67-based infrastructures. We are pleased to become a Ravenna partner to help further the development of this technology, both for us and our customer base.’
‘As the technology continues to gain traction, so the Ravenna partnership community continues to grow, to the benefit of us all,’ notes ALC NetworX’s Andreas Hildebrand. ‘It’s fascinating to see that our two most recent partners come from such different backgrounds, which just goes to show that Ravenna’s open, standards-based approach and high performance characteristics appeals across a wide range of market sectors. IP networking is here to stay, and for those for whom out-of-the-box AES67, and now ST2110 compatibility, is important, Ravenna remains the easiest – and highest performing – route to both.’
