What is AVB?

Mike Cole from PreSonus explains what AVB (Audio Video Bridging) is, and how it compares to other high-bandwidth digital audio protocols.

The Definition of AVB (Audio Video Bridging)
The IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB) standard is an ultra-high-speed, near-zero-latancy Gigabit Ethernet protocol specifically engineered for digital audio and video. AVB maintains the full quality of encoded audio and video. AVB supports nanosecond sync accuracy, regardless of network activity. AVB networks use standard Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables for connections spanning thousands of feet (up to 3,280 feet) and multiple AVB devices can be connected via AVB switches.

i think my avb driver on mac is missing. option is greyed out in audio midi set up. also in hardware section of advanced tap in network pref there is no AVB box to check. what can i do?

AVB ought to be more reliable, and much easier to set up. It never worked for connecting a MacBookPro to a new PreSounus 32SC mixer. MacOS never found the mixer.

Great explanation. Just one question then, from a networktech-noob, how do I know if a switch supports AVB-priority? Do I need a special one from PreSonus to use AVB between their mixers/consols/racks etc? Or any switch that support AVB? And lastly - if my switch isn't made to give that priority to the AVB-connections, can I still use it to get the audio through but without priority over other digital traffic, or will it simply not work at all?

Is this device has something to do with us as a musician who wants to have our own monitor mix but lacks auxes.. Like we as a band have 10 members that plays simultaneously, but our mixer has only 4 auxes. By the way our mixer is the classic Presonus Studiolive 16.02.2
