Over the last 19 weeks we have enjoyed a slice of audio broadcast network pie every Wednesday in a bold attempt to trace the history of audio broadcast networks from simple patchbays through the adoption of control protocols and the promise of total interoperability.
Our aim was to try and explain the background and technology behind data [...]
Network Wednesdays: Looking to the Future
Recently we’ve looked at how even ageing serial control protocols are being incorporated into the broadcast networks of the future.
But not all control protocols are decades old — some are still being developed, and EMBER is one of the most promising: a fully-featured, open source protocol whose capabilities closely reflect the requirements of modern broadcasters. [...]

Last week we looked at how older serial control protocols used to interface and operate broadcast equipment are being incorporated into new audio networking standards, and how they are planned for incorporation in the interoperable video and audio networking protocols of the future.
Broadcast audio hardware manufacturers are currently providing compatibility with audio/video control protocols in [...]
