02 October 2012 Cleveland Ohio, USA

Greg Shay, Director of Technology for The Telos Alliance and Axia Audio, will participate in a number of AoIP technology discussions during the upcoming AES 133rd Convention, to be held at San Francisco's Moscone Center, October 26 – 29, 2012.

Shay will be on the dais for three AoIP panel discussions, "Audio Networks, a Paradigm Shift for Broadcasters", "Interoperability Issues in Audio Transport Over IP-Based Networks", and "Open IP Protocols for Audio Networking." For presentation dates and times, please visitaes.org/events/133/.

Axia Audio, a Telos Alliance company, builds Ethernet-based professional IP-Audio products for broadcast, sound-reinforcement
and commercial audio applications. Along with the Element 2.0, iQ, Radius, DESQ and RAQ AoIP consoles for on-air, commercial
production, audio workstations and personal studios, Axia products include intercom systems, digital audio routers, DSP mixers
and processors, and software for configuring, managing and interfacing networked audio systems.As a member of the R&D team instrumental in the development of Livewire, the IP-Audio networking technology introduced by Axia in 2003, Shay is well-qualified for discussions pertinent to the future of networked studio systems. Shay is also a member of the AES Task Group on Audio-over-IP Interoperability, a part of the X192 Project (x192.org) initiated by the AES Standards Committee to develop a high-performance streaming audio-over-IP interoperability standard. Axia Audio is both a charter member, and a sponsor of the X192 project.

Axia Livewire is the world's most popular IP-Audio networking technology, used in more than 4,000 broadcast studios worldwide. Livewire allows broadcasters to quickly and easily build audio networks using switched Ethernet to connect a few rooms, or an entire facility. Axia networks have a total system capacity of more than 10,000 audio streams, and can carry hundreds of digital stereo channels (plus machine logic and PAD) over a single CAT-6 cable, eliminating much of the cost normally associated with wiring labor and infrastructure.Oover 40 partner companies make broadcast equipment that connects directly via Ethernet to Axia networks. Axia also supports the high-performance RAVENNA IP-Audio standard.
