"We have created the APRO-CLC01 as
a platform that will enable integrators
or processor manufacturers to use
RTW's OEM-PCB within their hardware,
as well as console manufacturers and
others," explains Michael Kahsnitz,
Head of Product Management, RTW.
"With this new introduction, it will
be up to the integrator to define the
way a user can control and read back
information from our processor."
Loudspeaker systems manufacturer,
d&b audiotechnik, has confirmed
it has joined the AVnu Alliance, the
industry consortium that fosters the
adoption of AVB/TSN (Audio Video
Bridging/Time Sensitive Networking)
protocols and an open ecosystem of

certified products. According to d&b
Product Manager Vicent Perales, the
move is a logical step for the company.
"d&b is known to be a supporter of
open standards, such as OCA (Open
Control Architecture, recently ratified
by the Audio Engineering Society as
AES70)," he comments. "Joining the
AVnu Alliance and supporting AVB/
TSN as open audio transport protocols
is another good fit for us."
Lawo continues to make serious
waves and hasn't disappointed this
year. At recent shows, Lawo has
provided broadcasters with the
opportunity to take a closer look at
the technology behind the massive
IP installations that were used at this
summer's major international
sports events in France and Brazil.
