AVB Insights | Sumble

What is AVB?

Audio Video Bridging (AVB) is a set of technical standards developed by the IEEE 802.1 task group that allows time-synchronized, low latency streaming of audio and video signals over a standard Ethernet network. It is commonly used in professional audio and video applications, automotive infotainment systems, and other applications requiring reliable and deterministic real-time media transport.

AVB Complementary Technologies

TSN

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of IEEE standards that enhances standard Ethernet to provide deterministic, low-latency communication. AVB standards are now part of the broader TSN suite of standards, so it is strongly complementary. AVB is now considered an early implementation of TSN.
