White Papers
This document explains the fundamental operating principles of the RAVENNA technology and specifies protocols and data formats employed.
This document describes the architectural and performance requirements of the RAVENNA technology to be provided by the underlying networking infrastructure.
This document describes the RTP payload format for transparent transport of AES3 audio data with RAVENNA.
This white paper offers a detailed description of the fundamentals of RAVENNA and its relationship to AES67.
This paper provides a high-level overview of AES67 & RAVENNA; what they are and how they relate to each other.
What is latency and where does it come from? This white paper provides answers to all these questions and explains packet time, PDV, software jitter and more.
This is a quick, at-a-glance, 2-page comparison of RAVENNA, AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110.

Part 1 of a 3 part guide from The Broadcast Bridge
The AES67 standard is sometimes misunderstood as the specifications on how all professional digital audio gear is supposed to work and interconnect. Not exactly. In fact, AES67 simply defines the requirements for high-performance AoIP (Audio-over-IP) interoperability. A manufacturer can implement AES67 anyway it wants.

Part 3 of a 3 part guide from The Broadcast Bridge
In this conclusion, Part 3, of our tutorial on AES 67, we examine proper connection and configuration for AES 67 links. Understanding how each of these elements fit into the overall network will make both setup and troubleshooting easier.
