ABSTRACT
The majority of professional audio networks have adopted Internet Protocol (IP) technology. Audio data is received and transmitted through the Open Systems Interconnection model. Data is broken down into small “packets” containing IP information with addresses, timing, and so on. The packets, like all other data packets, are sent to the network and subsequently put together in the correct order at the recipient address. Power over Ethernet is a way of conveying a supply voltage via a wired version of a local area network to a device that needs power. Audio Video Bridging, is a set of standards, initiated by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In this context, it is the transport not only of sound but of images. The standards must ensure synchronized data streaming through IEEE 802 networks with minimal time delay.
