IBC2017

[Julf]

The theme for IBC (International Broadcasting Convention) 2017 at the Amsterdam RAI was pretty much "IP everywhere". Audio has been IP-based for quite a while, but is now getting better standardized - "AES67 now!" signs at pretty much every audio-related stand, but seems video broadcast has also made the switch to IP (and "glass cockpits", virtual control desks).

Seems this is the standard console these days.

Had a very nice discussion with Dr Aki Mäkivirta, R&D Director of Genelec, about AES67, class D amplification, and co-axial/point source active speakers. The 15" subwoofer was impressive too...
