AVnu Alliance, the industry consortium driving open, standards-based deterministic networking announces an expanded education initiative at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2016. The half-day education training is hosted at the RAI the day before the ISE show floor opens. AVnu Alliance has been named an official InfoComm International Renewal Unit (RU) Provider for the training event. AVnu Alliance members will also provide expanded education with a series of presentations and a Master Class taking place during the ISE show program.

AVnu Alliance will continue its commitment to an ongoing education program through its “Next Generation AV Network Fundamentals and Design” Education Training Day on Feb. 8, 2016 from 12:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. CET at the Amsterdam RAI in room G107. AVnu Alliance members and experts will overview the evolution of Ethernet and delve into how Pro AV applications can take advantage of these new capabilities. The half-day training program consists of three segments starting with an introduction to the principles of digital networking and IP/Ethernet, including an overview and mapping of protocols. Following the introduction, presenters will focus on Network Topology to explain end-user installation and configuration considerations. The final third of the day will cover AV solutions backed by installation and Audio Video Bridging/Time Sensitive Networking (AVB/TSN) system architecture examples.

Attendees will be treated to a demonstration of Axon Digital Design’s Ethernet AVB/TSN network backbone for broadcast video.

The training will be presented by Steve Carlson, a veteran in the field of networked systems and standards, along with AVnu members including Christian Diehl, product manager for intercom systems with Riedel Communications. Attendees will leave the training with a better ability to specify and configure an Ethernet-based AV network system. Guests are encouraged to attend a cocktail networking hour open to the public directly after the final education session.

The session is free and attendees qualify for 3 RU Credits. This will allow more than 9,000 professionals holding InfoComm International’s Certified Technology Specialist credential to earn renewal units towards their certification by completing the AVnu Alliance education program on February 8, 2016.

RSVP is required for the AVnu Alliance hosted Training Day. You can register to attend the free session here.
