AES67:
AES67 is a published international standard by the Audio Engineering Society,
defining low latency audio interoperability amongst professional audio devices
operating over digital IP networks. This is not a replacement for Dante or any
other networking technology. It however, provides for interoperability between
networked audio over IP technologies, including but not limited to, Dante,
Q-Lan, Limewire, WheatNet and RAVENNA.
The bottom line is, AES67 defines a common standard for all devices to stream
media over a network, so that any device on that network can communicate
with any another. AES67 does not create of define a new standard, it allows for
how to use known and trusted protocols defined under other standards.
AES67 defines the simplest possible features allowing two compliant devices to
exchange audio streams. Although the definitions are minimal, some devices
are capable of exceeding the definitions, for example, a minimum number of 8
channels. Most AES67 compliant devices will exceed the minimum and support
16, 64 or more channels. AES67 further defines timing of packets to maintain
minimum latency.
AES67 does not replace Dante or any other audio over IP technologies. It was
designed as a bridge facilitating communication between different systems.
