AVnu Alliance is a consortium of professional, automotive, consumer electronics and industrial manufacturing companies working together to establish and certify the interoperability of open Audio Video Bridging (AVB) and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards. The Alliance works with its member companies to certify AVB and TSN products for interoperability. Manufacturers may use the AVnu logo on such certified products. Not every AVB-compliant device is submitted for certification to the AVnu Alliance. The lack of the AVnu logo does not necessarily imply a device is incompatible with other AVnu-certified devices.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) was formed in 1963, through the merger of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (founded in 1884) and the Institute of Radio Engineers (founded in 1912). The two organizations merged because with the rise of electronics, many of their interests were beginning to overlap. In 1980, IEEE started project 802 to create standards for local area network (LAN) applications. In 1985, 802.3 became the official standard for Ethernet, a cable-based data transmission system originally developed by Xerox in the 1970s.Audio Video Bridging is the name given to a set of technical standards developed by the IEEE Audio Video Bridging Task Group of the IEEE 802.1 standards committee. The committee developed the original technical standards for AVB, a way to simplify audio and video streaming through the use of the Ethernet cable, rather than the complicated approach traditionally taken using an array of analog one-way, single-purpose and point-to-point cables.
AVnu Alliance was launched on August 25, 2009, to create certification processes based on AVB standards that would ensure interoperability. Founding members include: Broadcom, Cisco Systems, Harman International, Intel and Xilinx. As of August 2013, the alliance includes over 60 members worldwide that represent a cross-section of companies.
