The TSNA Conference will allow participants to explore current and future developments in network-based time synchronisation and standards
Snook will discuss impact of AVB/TSN growth and outline successes, challenges, and opportunities

Biamp Systems, a leading provider of innovative, networked media systems, recently announced that Zach Snook, Senior Applications Engineer with Biamp, will lead a speaking session titled, “Professional Audio Video: Successes, Challenges and Opportunities with AVB/TSN,” at the Time Sensitive Networks and Applications (TSNA) Conference 2016. Held in San Jose, California, from April 12-13, the session will take place on April 12 at 2:30 p.m. at DoubleTree by Hilton San Jose.

Audio Video Bridging/Time Sensitive Networking (AVB/TSN) adoption continues to grow as the benefits of the open IEEE standards are realised. As more industries need — and take advantage of — high-speed, synchronised, deterministic digital data transmissions, the AV industry will expand into new markets. Snook will discuss the impact of this growth and outline successes, challenges, and opportunities and what it means for the future of pro AV.

The TSNA Conference will feature sessions from industry experts in AVB/TSN and allow participants to explore current and future developments in network-based time synchronisation and standards. An open protocol developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), AVB/TSN expands the range, functionality, and applications of standard Ethernet.

Zach Snook, a Senior Applications Engineer with Biamp Systems since 2008, began his love of system design while playing in a local band. He nurtured his interest and received a bachelor's degree with a double concentration in systems contracting and live sound reinforcement at Columbia College Chicago. Prior to joining Biamp, Snook spent eight years working for an audio/video integrator, designing and commissioning systems. The wide variety of clientele he worked with gave him the opportunity to learn the requirements of many types of system design as well as the real-world experience to support customers — whether troubleshooting an AV system integrating multiple manufacturers or teaching one of Biamp’s many in-depth classes.
