Crestron joined the AVnu Alliance, becoming the industry consortium’s 65th member and its first home control and automation company, the alliance said Thursday. AVnu certifies audio video bridging (AVB) products for interoperability, and the addition of Crestron “furthers the progression of AVB in professional audio/video and residential market,” the alliance said in a news release. It’s seeing “accelerated momentum for AVB across a breadth of markets including professional A/V, automotive, and residential with member companies working together to drive AVnu-certified devices as the highest performance, most reliable, more flexible, and more affordable market solutions,” it said. It’s seeing “growing momentum in all market segments,” it said. The alliance is testing AVB-enabled networking devices at its appointed testing house, the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory, and has “many products in the certification process,” it said.
