AVnu Alliance Announces First Certified Audio Endpoint Reference Platform

avnu-1214XMOS and AVnu Alliance have announced the first AVnu-certified Audio Video Bridging (AVB) audio endpoint reference platform. The XMOS software-defined solution has passed all testing for certification and will now bear the AVnu-certified Logo.

According to AVnu, the newly AVnu-certified XMOS AVB hardware and software reference platform is an affordable, scalable and production-ready solution that allows customers to quickly and easily build a wide range of AVB-enabled audio products, from single speakers and microphones to complex multichannel mixing desks and multi-port conferencing systems.

Because the AVB functionality of the XMOS audio endpoint reference platform is defined in software, running on the company’s family of multicore microcontroller semiconductor devices, customers can create the exact feature set required for their products. Already in use by companies such as Revolabs and Pivitec, the reference platform enables transport of A/V streams across mixed-use networks with a very high quality of service. Its software-configurable nature also means that it can be used as the basis for multi-standard systems that carry a variety of data types, and interface with a variety of legacy systems, such as CANbus in the automotive and industrial markets.

AVnu Alliance has built robust and comprehensive testing requirements for products based on the market requirements. AVnu Certification is open for switches and professional audio products at its appointed testing house, University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL). Any member may enter a product into certification testing.
