Today, Slovakian start-up company Boldburg announced its RAVENNA partnership.

Boldburg was founded a year ago by enthusiastic engineers to develop innovative
solutions and products for professional high-end audio applications. Their initial
focus was on developing a superior modular digital multicore with support for
sample rates up to 384 kHz and dynamic range up to 135dB which will be debuted
at the forthcoming ProLight & Sound 2016.

Boldburg’s Galileo product line is a modular multi-core/stage box, loaded with a
wide range of features and functionalities. At the top of the features list are
redundancy and high availability principles. Significantly, every element of the
Galileo product range is hot-swappable. This means that, for the first time in the
field of professional audio devices, it is possible to supplement or exchange
modules in case of failure even when they are running, thus greatly improving the
stability and availability of the device.

Tomas Koctur, Boldburg COO: “Boldburg was founded to create a product which we
felt was missing on the market but, more importantly, that would be genuinely
appreciated by our customers. Our lead engineer, Marek Petrinec focused on no-
compromise audio quality which was honed to perfection in order to satisfy the
most demanding customers. We used only top quality components in order to
deliver a product of the very highest specifications.

It therefore stands to reason that we have the same high demands of any AoIP
protocol to use with our products. When we did the research, there was only one
that met – indeed, exceeded – our criteria and that was RAVENNA. RAVENNA is a
truly outstanding solution for media transport in IP environments – it provides the
highest performance characteristics of anything else on the market and yet remains
open, licence-free technology.”

Andreas Hildebrand, RAVENNA Evangelist and Senior Product Manager of ALC
NetworX, is also pleased with the partnership. “We are delighted to see growing
adoption of the RAVENNA technology, particularly by specialized solution providers,’
he commented. “Since RAVENNA is an open and license-free technology, it is
especially well suited for companies in a start-up situation or indeed any company
wishing to benefit from a cutting-edge audio transport solution whilst keeping costs
down. By integrating RAVENNA’s AES67-compatible audio-over-IP streaming
technology, Boldburg builds on standardized and future-proof network
interoperability for their advanced digital multicore solutions.’
