NXP Accelerates Development for Industrial, Automotive and Professional AVB Networking Solutions with AVnu Audio Video Bridgi...
March 14 2017 - 11:01AM
(Embedded World 2017) – NXP Semiconductors N.V.
(NASDAQ:NXPI) has achieved AVnu certification for its Audio Video
Bridging (AVB) stack software, helping customers dramatically
accelerate time-to-market for industrial, automotive and
professional AVB networking products. NXP’s AVB stack provides
synchronization and deterministic latency between devices for
applications requiring audio, video, and other real-time content
over Ethernet. Providing a complete set of AVB protocols that
enable transport and synch services to multimedia applications, the
company’s certified software helps customers develop enhanced AVB
applications for pro-audio equipment, in-vehicle infotainment, and
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology.
AVnu certification fosters an interoperable networking ecosystem
and simplifies network synchronization for engineers through AVB
and time-synchronized networking (TSN) standards. The
certification is aimed at solving major technical and performance
issues, including precise timing and real-time synchronization;
bandwidth reservation; and traffic shaping, while also minimizing
deployment, maintenance and total cost of
ownership.
“The increasing number, and complexity of in-vehicle systems is
one of the many drivers for AVnu certification to ensure that all
parts of an audio-video-bridge system will work together; however,
very few companies are capable of executing a certified AVB
solution that addresses this interoperability challenge,” said
Jean-Christophe Bodet senior director of software and services with
NXP. “NXP’s AVnu certification delivers on our vision to streamline
product development and speed time-to-market for AVB applications,
while enabling customers to reduce system cost by leveraging our
AVB software and the next generation of network complexity in the
future.”
NXP’s AVB stack includes features such as time-synchronized,
low-latency streaming services and bandwidth reservation that makes
it possible to carry audio and video signals on a standard Ethernet
line. This solves the synchronization challenges between audio and
video streaming when video must be displayed on multiple monitors
and audio must be harmoniously synchronized across multiple
speakers at the same time. The AVnu-certified software provides a
complete set of AVB protocols for use on NXP’s i.MX 6 and i.MX 8
applications processors, as well as several other NXP development
boards, to reduce the need for hardware changes and eliminating
redevelopment costs. It also enables future distributed systems,
including NXP’s audio tuners and amplifiers.
In addition to redundant clock master and data traffic
capabilities for extreme reliability, key features of NXP’s AVB
stack software include precise timing to support low-jitter media
clocks, independent traffic classes that enable optimization of
network resources, and bounded latency for assurance of timely
packet deliveries. The company also provides API to support audio
and video applications with the AVB stack.
