Latin America. Six major companies in the audiovisual industry came together to create SDVoE Alliance, a partnership that seeks to standardize the adoption of Ethernet to transport AV signals in professional environments and create an ecosystem around SDVoE technology that allows software to define AV applications.
All AV distribution and processing applications that demand zero latency and uncompromised video can benefit from SDVoE technology, which provides an end-to-end hardware and software platform for AV extension, switching, processing, and control through advanced chipset technology, common control APIs, and interoperability.
SDVoE network architectures are based on standard Ethernet switches that offer substantial cost savings and greater system flexibility and scalability over traditional approaches, such as point-to-point extension and circuit-based AV matrix switching.
AptoVision, Aquantia, Christie, Netgear, Sony and ZeeVee are the founding members of the SDVoE Alliance, bringing different perspectives to the ecosystem-wide SDVoE initiative with experience in various segments. The SDVoE Alliance already benefits from more than 35 shipping products and numerous facilities in healthcare, business, entertainment, hospitality, retail, houses of worship, government, military, and security.
"For years we've lived with the idea that AV/IT convergence is coming. SDVoE Alliance and its technology ultimately provide the platform that is needed to enable it. Using 10Gb Ethernet hardware to move video with impeccable quality and zero latency is just the beginning. The creation of a software platform allows the development of new classes of applications not yet conceived. True convergence is finally here," said Justin Kennington, president of the SDVoE Alliance.
