The SDVoE Alliance, a nonprofit consortium of technology providers collaborating to standardize the adoption of Ethernet to transport AV signals in professional AV environments, announces WaveSplitter Technologies, Inc., has joined the SDVoE Alliance as an adopting member.

WaveSplitter offers a broad range of high-performance passive and active optical components, including passive pump laser combiners, isolators, wavelength division multiplexers, and transceivers products for a variety of networks. Designed for enterprise and residential broadband networks, WaveSplitter’s high-performance optical components and modules provide system manufacturers with flexible, scalable technology platforms, advanced design capabilities, and extensive production capacity.

“We are pleased to welcome WaveSplitter to our expanding global ecosystem,” said Justin Kennington, president of the SDVoE Alliance. “WaveSplitter has invested significantly in streamlined product development, manufacturing capacity, and cost-competitive operations. Their technology is focused on quality and performance. As a member of the SDVoE Alliance, WaveSplitter can provide new high-quality transmission solutions for customers worldwide.”

“WaveSplitter has extensive experience in providing optical and fiber transmission solutions,” said Calvin Wang, Director of Product Plan Development for WaveSplitter. “Fiber transmission provides a plethora of benefits for the integrator and the end-user, including stronger bandwidth. SDVoE’s technology combined over an IP system and fiber transmission is the perfect solution. As a result, many of our customers are already interested in embracing this new solution.”

In recent years, industry demands for remote data collection and real-time content management have dramatically increased AV-over-IP applications. AV-over-IP technology supports high-quality audio/video transmission over long distances without latency, making it ideal for content streaming applications. All AV distribution and processing applications that demand zero-latency and uncompromised video can benefit from SDVoE technology, which provides an end-to-end hardware and software platform for AV extension, switching, processing, and control through advanced chipset technology, common control APIs, and interoperability. SDVoE network architectures are based on off-the-shelf Ethernet switches, thus offering substantial cost savings and greater system flexibility and scalability over traditional approaches, such as point-to-point extension and circuit-based AV matrix switching.
