Lots of news from Digigram - including the appointment of Jimmy Kawalek (see news, p.18). Digigram's EtherSound - its patented real-time Ethernet-based audio networking technology - now provides bi-directional capability over a single cable, as well as adding higher sample rate conversions at 88.2, 96 or 192kHz. EtherSound licensees, which currently include NetCira by Fostex, Nexo, Bouyer, InnovaSON and Auvitran, will announce their plans to implement the new features independently, says Digigram.

The company has added an Entry Level Agreement to its EtherSound licensing scheme - a move aimed at enabling pro audio manufacturers to bring EtherSound-compliant products quickly to market with minimal development investment. Meanwhile, Auvitran has been appointed as the first Authorised EtherSound Implementor.

New product includes the ES220 and ES220-L Ethernet Audio bridges, joining its range of products for real-time audio distribution over Ethernet. Incidentally, Digigram was very pleased to see Marquee Audio taking the initiative in setting up the EtherSound network at the show.
