AVB
AVB is a suite of open standards developed by the IEEE to reliably transmit AV over IP. While Ethernet is omnipresent in our everyday communications, it wasn’t designed to handle the real-time signal transport required in AV. AVB has stepped in to meet this need, providing seamless real-time delivery.
TSN
In 2012, the IEEE’s AVB Task Group officially changed its name to Time Sensitive Networking Task Group to “provide the specifications that will allow time-synchronised low latency streaming services through IEEE 802 networks”.
Built on the foundation of AVB, TSN extends the capabilities of Ethernet with real-time performance for mission-critical applications adding advanced features like traffic scheduling, redundancy, and enhanced precision for timing and synchronisation. With its robust and deterministic approach, TSN offers audio manufacturers a powerful framework for creating scalable and future-ready networked systems.
Milan
Milan is an audio networking protocol that’s changing the way audio devices communicate and interact within professional audio setups. Based on the AVB standard, Milan aims to redefine the networking landscape by delivering reliable, high-performance, synchronised audio streaming over Ethernet networks.
Milan’s key benefits include deterministic behaviour with reserved AV streams, improved reliability, optimal synchronisation and easy network setup.
