e are pleased to be able to offer our customers even more flexibility in IP network technology as a RAVENNA partner, " explains Helmut Jahne, Managing Director of STAGETEC. "After all, we have been providing IP-based technology with the NEXUS Dante board XDIP since 2012. Since 2017, STAGETEC has been offering IP audio transmissions according to the AES67 standard with the RIF67 router interface. The second to be added this year is the latest board, the NEXUS Fiber and IP Interface (XFIP), which also offers full AES67 compatibility. RAVENNA implementations are available for both boards."
Andreas Hildebrand, RAVENNA Evangelist at ALC NetworX, adds: "We are delighted about STAGETEC's decision to join the RAVENNA Community! STAGETEC is a pioneer in digital audio processing and, with its proven NEXUS technology, clearly belongs to the premium suppliers of distributed digital routing systems. With the implementation of AES67 by RAVENNA, STAGETEC underlines the importance of standards-based, flexible interface options... The use of RAVENNA open network technology guarantees future-proof operation for increasingly diverse network-based application requirements."
