Meyer Sound’s Galileo Galaxy network platform has been certified by the AVnu Alliance as fully compliant with the open AVB/TSN networking protocols developed through IEEE.
AVnu certification assures consultants, system designers and rental company operators that Meyer Sound systems based around Galaxy can be integrated into larger networked audio and video systems involving input, playback and processing components from multiple manufacturers.
‘Galaxy processors were designed from the outset to function as keystone components in the large-scale networked sound reinforcement systems of the future,’ says Meyer Sound VP of Solutions & Strategy, John McMahon. ‘For more than a decade' the Galileo platform has won acceptance as the go-to loudspeaker processing system, and now Galaxy’s AVnu certification ensures that these capabilities can be integrated into networked systems encompassing the full spectrum of audio, video and show control functions.’
Galaxy – the third generation of Meyer Sound’s Galileo loudspeaker processing technology – incorporates the latest FPGA-based processing with up to 64-bit resolution and analogue-in to analogue-out latency of 0.6ms. Available tools include five-band U-Shaping and 10-band parametric EQ, a delay matrix and improved delay integration. Three versions are available – Galileo Galaxy 408, Galileo Galaxy 816 and Galileo Galaxy 816-AES3 – to enable specification of analogue or AES3 digital inputs and outputs to suit any application.
In order to receive AVnu certification, Galileo Galaxy was required to pass stringent testing procedures for interoperability with other compatible A/V systems based on the AVB/TSN (Audio Video Bridging and Time-Sensitive Networking) protocols. Some of the conformance testing was carried out in-house by Meyer Sound, with the rigorous final test procedures carried out by AVnu Alliance’s approved testing partner, the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL).
