Visionary AV-over-IP Platform Now Handles AES67 Audio

visionary aes67

Visionary added native AES67 support across the entire product line with a firmware update for its 5 Series PacketAV Matrix endpoints. The addition of AES67 allows for integration with a “wide range of audio systems that use this industry-standard protocol.” AES67 facilitates high-quality, low-latency audio transmission in networked environments, ensuring interoperability between Visionary’s 5 Series endpoints and a broad array of AES67-compliant devices. With this enhanced flexibility, Visionary customers can create even more adaptable and future-proof AV infrastructures.

Beyond AES67 integration, the new firmware removes the need for jumbo frames, streamlining network configurations and enabling wider interoperability. By no longer requiring jumbo frames, Visionary’s 5 Series endpoints work seamlessly on networks with devices that are incompatible with or do not support jumbo frames. Additionally, the new firmware update introduces a significant improvement in latency performance. The 5 Series PacketAV Matrix endpoints now achieve sub-frame latency, with as little as ~2 milliseconds of delay.

Another highlight of this release is the introduction of support for Extreme Networks’ Fabric Attach capability, which automates critical aspects of network configuration, such as VLAN setup, security policies and quality of service. This feature reduces the potential for configuration errors, speeds up deployment times and simplifies the management of large-scale AV systems.
