Adamson ’ s CS-Series Intelligent Loudspeakers Are Now Milan Certified
Adamson Systems Engineering has announced its CS-Series line of intelligent loudspeakers is now Milan Certified , ensuring interoperability with all other Milan certified devices on the same network , regardless of manufacturer . Certification required the advancement of the Avnu Test Tool , of which Adamson has been a partner in developing over the last 18 months .
Adamson has been a major benefactor behind the development , verification , and validation of the Milan compliance test tool known as Avnu Express Test Suite ( AETS ) for Milan Advanced Certification . The work behind this has included participating in weekly review meetings in a work group , running interim releases of AETS on in-house test benches , validating tests that passed , analyzing packet capture logs for tests that failed , bug reporting , and updating working Avnu documents . Adamson has received two certificates of recognition for its contributions toward the development of the AETS .
Milan is a standards-based deterministic network protocol for real-time media , created and maintained by pro audio market leaders . A significant improvement over Milan 1.0 Certification , Milan Advanced Certified products must pass 180 tests including comprehensive testing of Milan redundancy and Milan AVDECC ( Audio Video Discovery , Enumeration , Connection management and Control protocol ).
