An AES standards task group chaired by Kevin Gross is currently developing an interoperability standard for audio networking. The focus of the project, which is called “X192,” is addressing the need for interoperability between products of many different manufacturers. Once implemented, X192 will provide manufacturers with the means to remain with the network technology they are invested in, while also seamlessly interfacing with products that support other networks. There are currently a number of existing and work-in-progress protocols, each with…

Wait - Why Are We Doing This? Progress On The System Interoperability Front
Ethan Wetzell
11/04/11 10:49 AM,
The professional audio industry in 2011 has been abuzz yet again with a recurring theme that I like to refer to as the “can’t we all just get along?” conversation. As in years past, the topic of unifying standards between different manufacturers’ equipment to make exchange of information easier and more seamless was everywhere. This has been going on for some time, and has lived under different names and terms: “interconnectivity,” “convergence,” and the most recent model, “interoperability.” However, this…

The Basics Of Fiber Optic Transmission Systems
John Lopinto
10/28/11 03:11 PM,
With the increasing trend toward the use of fiber instead of co-ax cable in a wide range of applications, most contractors are now required to understand the basics of terminating and laying fiber optic cable. Contrary to its reputation, fiber is actually quite easy to handle and use. Cable Construction Fiber, at its most basic level, is a very pure strand of glass through which light can pass over great distances. All fiber optic cable has at its center a…

The “Hit By A Bus List” For Worship Production
Mike Sessler

1 Comment
This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. A few weeks ago, one of my younger readers recentlyasked me about a “hit by a bus list” (HBABL for short). So, I thought it might be good topic for an article. First, it might be helpful to define what at “hit by a bus list” even is. The definition may vary from church to church, but basically it seeks to answer the question, what happens if you’re hit by a bus on…
