arkona technologies is the first developer of video processing and distribution products to add its weight to the Ravenna technology, adopting it as ist preferred IP-based transport platform.

‚We at arkona technologies strongly believe that the future of broadcast production and distribution will be IP-based,’ says company CEO, Rainer Sturm. ‘Increasing capabilities of commodity IT hardware and availability of 10Gbps Ethernet infrastructure and beyond will end dependence on industry-specific linear connections. Cat6 or fibre-optics carrying real time HD/3G video will drive the next technological evolution of production equipment.

‘With arkona technologies’ objective to design best-in-class video and audio production tools, choosing Ravenna technology as the basis for our demanding IP connectivity requirements is just a logical consequence for us. As an open technology based on IT industry standards, Ravenna offers the flexibility to adapt to the arising challenges of delivering unsurpassed video and audio distribution quality and performance.’

‘arkona technologies adds another flavour to the wide spectrum of use cases and application scenarios being served by current Ravenna partners,’ says Andreas Hildebrand, Senior Product Manager of Ravenna developer, ALC NetworX. ‘We are excited to see Ravenna being chosen as the underlying technology for the supreme demands and challenges arising from real-time distribution of HD/3G video signals over standard IT infrastructure. The backing of arkona technologies sure is another step for Ravenna towards an industry-wide accepted standard for IP-based real-time media distribution.’
