AVNu Alliance, promoter of AVB standards, has highlighted eight additions, including Mipro and Xavtel, that have pushed its numbers to nearly 80 members.
The latest members are Coveloz, Imagination Technologies, intoPIX, Ixia, Mipro, NXP Semiconductors, Pivitec and Xavtel.
Eugene Chen, vice president of international sales for Mipro, said: "AVB standards are the future of the AV networking industry and we are excited to be a part of this strong alliance to bring solutions to our customers."
Tom Knesel, co-founder of Pivitec, said: "Pivitec has a four-year track record in AVB development and after a successful launch of its e64i/o-MADI 64-channel AVB network interface at InfoComm 2014, has chosen to join AVnu Alliance with the express intention of pursuing AVnu certification."
Xavtel is also entering products into certification testing. "We are in the process of starting our certification testing and hope to have AVnu-certified hardware very soon," said Romano M. Cunsolo, director of marketing and business development at Xavtel, who just recently launched an AVB-enabled Senator Networked DSP Conference and Interpretation System.
