WORLD: A number of pro audio manufacturers have announced that they are to jointly host a free seminar named the 2012 AV Networking Congress, which will commence on January 31st. Taking place at the Holiday Inn Amsterdam, the panel-based event will aim to explore topics relating to the ‘rapid convergence from analogue to digital media networks’ in A/V systems.

Amongst the companies hosting the free seminar will be Lab.gruppen, Peavey Commercial Audio, Bosch Communications Systems, Yamaha Commercial Audio, Audinate and ASL, which will jointly discuss a wide range of installation application topics – including voice alarm and evacuation systems, stadia and large venues, and digital media in theatres.

The OCA Alliance will also be featured in the discussions, followed by a segment dedicated to exploring the evolution of digital audio transport, which will be presented by Audinate’s CTO Aidan Williams.

Among the A/V consultants and specialists to take part in the panel discussions will be Sam Wise of Arup, Richard Northwood of COMS, Martin Wunderlich (Wunderton), Peter Cox of Thames Audio, and Scott George of Autograph Sales.

‘The combination of ISE and the AV Networking Congress is a winner for keeping up to date with the latest in A/V and discussing how to implement it in a robust manner,’ explained Mr Northwood.  ‘I'm looking forward to participating in a wide ranging event without manufacturer bias that will stimulate open discussion on the future of networked audio and control – which are fundamental topics for so many systems we do today.’
