Andreas Hildebrand from ALC NetworX, developers of Ravenna, states, "This is great news for users, who can now interconnect audio devices using Ravenna, Q-Lan, Livewire and finally Dante."
AES67 cannot be used on its own, it simply allows different audio protocols to talk to each other, so manufacturers who want to enjoy the interoperability of AES67 need to choose a protocol that is AES67-compliant to fit into their products.
"We always intended that many different protocols should provide AES67 compatibility in order to offer the system designer and/or end-user as wide a choice as possible," continued Hildebrand. "Audinate offers their paid-for solution and we offer ours freely, but users may now benefit from using both protocols - and indeed all other AES67-compatible protocols - in the same installation."
