AptoVision has announced Ethernet AVB protocol support for its BlueRiver NT chipset, making it the world’s first AVB-capable chipset for distribution of uncompressed AV signals over 10GbE switches, according to AptoVision.

In addition to having an AVB capable transport layer, the BlueRiver NT chipset delivers a complete end-to-end solution for Professional Audio-Video (Pro-AV) applications. Such applications require long distance transmission and switching of 4K HDMI video, analogue and digital audio, RS-232, IR, GbE and USB signals while expecting plug-and-play, interoperable operation between device types, signal types and video resolutions.

In installations requiring traffic shaping and bandwidth reservation, AVB (Audio-Video Bridging) enables a platform where uncompressed video data and non-video data can be transmitted over a LAN environment with predictable performance.

“Ethernet-based platforms are poised to replace Pro-AV networks which currently rely on custom switching equipment,” said Kamran Ahmed, CEO, AptoVision. “By delivering an end-to-end AVB capable chipset supporting all Pro-AV requirements, AptoVision is leading the way in bringing the disruptive power of Ethernet to Pro-AV applications.”

AptoVision will showcase the BlueRiver NT technology at booth 10-S122, during the ISE 2015 tradeshow, running from 10th to 12th February in Amsterdam.
