company to successfully complete the AVnu Alliance’s much- publicised AVB certification scheme. The company timed the official announcement about its Summit X440 switch to coincide with ISE 2014. Operated in conjunction with
the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL) – whose client roster has also included OpenFabrics Alliance and Wi-Fi Alliance – the AVB scheme was devised to assure end-users that certified products comply with every aspect of the relevant IEEE standards. The Summit X440’s capabilities
are said to support the large-scale rollout of converged network devices such as IP telephones, wireless access points, and physical devices including video cameras. Todd Acree, director of
product management at Extreme Networks – which has a presence at ISE 2014 via the AVnu Alliance Pavilion – remarks that the company is “absolutely delighted” to have achieved the inaugural AVB certification. “The present momentum behind AVB is undeniable, and the arrival of certified products feels like a significant step forward,” he says. Rick Kreifeldt – chairman/
president of the AVB-supporting AVnu Alliance and vice-president of research and innovation at Harman International’s Corporate Technology Group – welcomed the inaugural certification and praised the energy of the Extreme Networks’ team: “They have been fantastic about jumping headlong into the process.”
Highlighting the recent addition
of residential technology giant Crestron to the AVnu ranks and the overall increase in membership over the last year from 50 to 65 companies, Kreifeldt strenuously rejects suggestions that the AVB movement has lost some of its former momentum: “In fact, we are growing faster than ever.” Looking ahead, he expects the typical business cycle to address the current price issue surrounding AVB switches – “as a pure capitalist I assume the free market will take care of that” – and confidently predicts more products to emerge from the certification process in the near- future. “The pipeline is filling up,” he says, “and I would expect to see more announcements [regarding certification] in the coming months.”

The Ingensteds stage with custom white VUE a-15 and a-8 two-way systems and dual soffit-mounted as-215 subwoofers
NORWAY A venue with a VUE By Murray Stassen
THE INGENSTEDS is gaining popularity as one of the most versatile live music venues in Oslo. Its doors were re-opened last summer after a refurbishment which saw new VUE Audiotechnik i- and a-Class loudspeakers installed by AV experts from Oslo- based installation company, Avon. Mixing is handled with a
Presonus StudioLive 24.4.2 digital desk and power is supplied to the system with
Lab.gruppen IPD 2400 and IPD 1200 series amplifiers. VUE a-15 and a-8 two-way systems with custom paintwork have been installed above the stage with specifically designed flying hardware.
The FOH and monitor system is
also comprised entirely of VUE Audiotechnik a-Class loudspeakers. Dual as-215s subwoofers take care of the low frequencies and four VUE a-10 two-way systems are installed as monitors. Avon owner, Edgar Lien, says: “The VUE a-Class sounds absolutely amazing and provides extremely consistent voicing from the 8-inch all the way up to the 15- inch cabinets. This venue hosts a varied mix of music performances and special events, so we needed an extremely flexible system that would look clean and blend with the aesthetic.” “We couldn’t be happier with how
easily the system came together and how capable the VUE loudspeakers are,” concludes Lien.
