AVB Audio/Video Networks

As a member of the AVnu Alliance UMAN is committed to support the emerging Ethernet AVB
standards in hardware and software.
UMAN has a vast experience with the demands of professional audio networks. If subjects like
QoS, latency or jitter matters, we are the right partners.
Our team is able to design any AVB compliant audio and video product you have in mind. We
actively support AVB technologies from Lab X Technologies, Marvell and XMOS.  With our UNOS
netOS the management of such systems is easy and powerful.

AVB Networks Facts:
•     native support and reference designs for
•     LabX
•     Marvell-Firefox
•     XMOS G1
•     glue less UNOS netOS support
•     compliance with all current and future AVB standards (802.1AS, 802.1Qat, 802.1Qav)
•     additional Command & Control functionality
•     additional USB, serial, and other  legacy format support

HD-Video Networks

From day one UMAN believed and invested in the convergence of networks: Today video networking  becomes reality.

Whether you are thinking of a super low latency H.264 encoder/decoder or you are seeking for  a High-End full 4:4:4 design based on JPEG or JPEG 2000: the UMAN engineers are experienced  with designing it.

Not only the video compression hardware and software aspects but also packetizing and network management  is our day-to-day business.

HD Video Networks facts:
•     IP cores for FPGA designs:
•    JPEG /JPEG 2000
•     H.264
•     ASIC and DSP solutions
•     real time low latency  (down to 1ms encoding time)
•     hardware and software decoding
•     audio support
•     USB support
•     AVB support
•     glue less UNOS integration for Command & Control

Special-demand Networks

While the advent of AVB as a network standard will change the A/V industry radically, there will be always applications where dedicated and somehow proprietary networks are a demand.
Voice Evacuation with its various standards is such a field. Conferencing is another.
Special redundancy approach, ring topologies, daisy chain or special addressing are issues that we know very well. The UMAN team will choose exactly the technology that fits to your demands.


Special Demand Networks:
•     Standard Ethernet
•     Ethernet AVB
•     IEEE 1394
•     various topologies (ring, spanning-tree, daisy chain)
•     glue less UNOS netOS support
•     various redundancy concepts
•     glue less UNOS integration for Command & Control
