your Horus to a properly configured network exactly as you would your PC or Mac, with no additional

technology required.

Ravenna is a “mission critical” protocol, meaning that is has been designed to ensure immensely low jitter

rates and latencies (sub-millisecond) and ensures that every single sample gets to where it needs to go

without fail. Horus also provides a secondary, redundant Ravenna connection allowing for uninterrupted use,

even when a network connection fails.
