Audio Video Transport Protocol
The Audio Video Transport Protocol (AVTP) is a network protocol designed to facilitate the transport of audio and video data over Ethernet networks. It ensures low-latency and synchronized delivery of multimedia content, making it suitable for applications like live audio and video streaming. AVTP is particularly important in professional audio and video environments, where timing and quality are critical.
AVTP is part of the broader IEEE 1722 standard, which defines how to transmit audio and video over Ethernet. This protocol supports various formats and can work with different network configurations, ensuring compatibility across devices and systems. Its efficient handling of data packets helps maintain high-quality media playback.
