Modulation Index and 2wcom have become the latest partners in ALC NetworX’s Ravenna enterprise.
Based in California, Modulation Index has a long history in streaming audio on the internet, and has adopted Ravenna to deliver to bridge in-house programme sources and internet streaming. Under the direction of Greg Ogonowski and Nate Niyomtham (the original developers of Orban Opticodec-PC), the company ha developed the StreamS Audio Encoder using Fraunhofer AAC to support new and legacy streaming protocols, and the StreamS PADbridge, which is a live metadata management system promoting revenue generation for streaming.
German company 2wcom is an established manufacturer and supplier of professional broadcast products, offering end-to-end DVB-S/S2 Audio /IP Satellite System solutions including professional encoders, modulators and a reliable IRD product range.
According to 2wcom founder, Werner Drews, the most significant technology trend of the moment is IP: ‘The impact of IP is really the biggest thing now,’ he says, ‘and it’s a trend that’s gathering speed and significance across the board for our industry. After evaluating several different Audio-over-IP interoperability standards, we identified Ravenna as being the market leader in our field. Furthermore, we had a number of requests from our customers asking for Ravenna compliance in our products, so it was an extremely straightforward decision to become a Ravenna partner.’
