usa - In a move to provide systems integrators with deeper knowledge of the features, benefits and applications of the AVB protocol for multichannel A/V networking over standards-based Ethernet, Harman Professional will hold multiple training sessions and discussions throughout InfoComm 2010 that focus exclusively on the new protocol.

The training sessions and discussion will take place at the Las Vegas Convention Centre on separate days throughout the three-day exhibition, while its new AVB system, which demonstrates the benefits of the technology with an emphasis on Houses of Worship applications, will also be on display at the Harman Professional booth.

The House of Worship demonstration system features the three interconnected elements of Harman's AVB system solution. The hardware consists of a dbx SC Series digital matrix processors, Crown CT series amplifiers with USP4/AVB installed, BSS Audio AVB wall plates, and the BSS Audio / Netgear Ethernet AVB switch. The system is operated through HiQnet System Architect version 2 with its new configuration and routing paradigms based on designing the system directly 'into' a floor plan of the venue; all audio running over the audio network, Ethernet AVB.

"As more members of the professional A/V community begin to adopt AVB protocols, and the single A/V network standard becomes a reality, Harman Professional will continue to support and introduce new products that enhance the efficiency of A/V delivery," commented Adam Holladay, market manager, system development and integration group. "It is important for us to educate our customers on the benefits of AVB, and we encourage anyone who is at InfoComm to come by our booth or seminars to learn more - particularly those connected with House of Worship system design."
