The Software Defined Video over Ethernet (SDVoE) Alliance is a nonprofit consortium of technology providers collaborating to standardize the adoption of Ethernet to transport AV signals in professional AV environments, and to create an ecosystem around SDVoE technology allowing software to define AV applications. The alliance participates in tradeshows and conferences, publishes white papers and case studies and promotes SDVoE technology, and solutions based on the technology, to system integrators, designers and consultants. Training and installer certification are also part of the mandate. The SDVoE Alliance steering members are Black Box, Christie, IDK, NETGEAR Business, Semtech, and ZeeVee. All interested parties are invited to join the alliance and work toward its goals.
