Has anyone encountered any work on this?
How powerful of a computer would be required for a software based
solution to be able to keep up with a (expensive for now) ravenna
card, if one wanted full channel count at full data rate?
I understand that it travels over an RJ45 port with standard wiring
(cat 6). I assume one would want an additional dedicated ethernet port
for this.
I'm considering learning C just to take this on.
there is a driver, but so far as I know not open source. While it is
probably possible to make an AES 67 endpoint that will work with one aes
67 box. I do not think a full endpoint that becomes part of the aes b67
network is possible without a hw network clock as the intel i210 ethernet
cards have. Concidering the cost of Ravena interfaces.... AVB may be a
better bet anyway. There are open drivers for avb... if unfinished. there
seem to be some afordable avb audio interfaces around too.
Still, if you have access to a revena interface, go for it.
BTW, the intel i210 cards seem to be cheaper from hp than from intel, or
they were when I bought mine. Same card...
