Paired with Lab X's IEEE1722 Audio / Video Bridging (AVB) IP demo projects, and a Xilinx evaluation board (such as the Spartan-6 SP601 or the XtremeDSP Starter Kit, Spartan-3A DSP 1800A Edition), the AUD8822 boards provide a means for customers to evaluate the capabilities of the Lab X AVB Audio IP packet engines, multiple-domain media clock recovery IP, and AVB networking in general.

Lab X's Talker and Listener packet engines are capable of supporting hundreds of uncompressed, pro-quality audio channels over a Gigabit Ethernet AVB link, and will support the Virtex-6, Virtex-5, Spartan-6, and Spartan-3A DSP FPGA families.

LABX_AUD8822 modules cost 395 USD + shipping.

AVB Overview

AVB (Audio Video Bridging) is an umbrella of new standards and amendments to existing Ethernet standards to support real-time delivery of audio and video media over Ethernet.  Lab X Technologies has IP blocks which work in conjunction with the Xilinx EAVB Endpoint to provide an end to end solution for high quality, high stream count AVB solution.
