• Provides higher channel count capabilities than are possible using
CobraNet ®.
• Works over existing Ethernet infrastructure with proper switches.
• Stream reservation protocol (SRP) defends bandwidth against
oversubscription and ensures quality of service (QoS) through the use of
admission control and traffic shaping. It also prevents information from
being lost in cases of oversubscription.
• Queuing and forwarding rules ensure AV streams pass through the
network with the delay specified.
• Allows synchronization of multiple flows of media/streams from different
sources, and arrive at their endpoint simultaneously. AVB allows you to
not only transfer data at the same time from point-to-point, but also
from point-to-many different points.
• AVB devices can identify and communicate with non-AVB devices using
standard 802 frames, but cannot send AVB data streams through
non-AVB switches.

• Open network standard provides market stability and consistency for
end users, integrators and manufacturers alike.
• Modularity allows for the creation of different system configurations
between centralized, hybrid and distributed systems. The system designs
can be easily expanded and reconfigured to meet the facility’s needs
without having to install a completely new system.
