UK - A slew of news was on offer from French digital audio networking specialists Digigram. 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 192 kHz. The 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; the move is 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.

Finally, industry veteran Jimmy Kawalek has joined the company to head its programme of EtherSound expansion with the title of worldwide business development manager for the EtherSound licensing program.
