ALC NetworX was founded in October 2007 and is based in Munich, Germany. The company has been established as a competence center with its own R&D department. Mission It is envisioned to develop and establish a network-based solution for distributing real-time audio signals for the Professional Audio / Broadcast market. It is intended to purely use IP-based protocols (e.g. RTP, UDP, TCP, IP etc.) to its most feasible extent. We believe that such a solution will be the basis for future systems since it will increase scalability and flexibility and reduce costs during planning, installation and operation. However, the solution must clearly meet the high standards of the Professional Audio / Broadcast community in terms of quality, reliability and availability. RAVENNA As RAVENNA is now an established media networking standard, compatible with the recently published AES67 standard on high-performance streaming audio-over-IP interoperability, ALC NetworX, together with its current and prospective partners, is refining and enhancing the underlying technology. Although product implementations of RAVENNA is executed by individual partner companies, ALC NetworX continues to keep the lead role with respect to technology definition. Implementation guidelines ensuring interoperability between devices of different manufacturers are jointly worked out and published. ALC NetworX also offers help on specific product implementations by providing reference designs and individual development support to partner companies.
