A massive thank you to everyone who visited the OCA Alliance booth to see the wide range of presentations and demos. The Product Developer Meet-up attendance exceeded expectations and it was great to see so many professionals, exchange ideas, share insights, and learn how AES70 can elevate their products.
Based on the Open Control Architecture (OCA) specification targeted for professional applications, AES70 works alongside any media transport protocol such as AES67, Dante, Ravenna, Milan, etc., delivering a complete media network platform for digital audio systems of any size.
The latest update to the AES70-2024 device control standard, featuring new classes, enhanced methods, and an updated specification for the OCP.1 protocol, was demonstrated at ISE 2025, with a wider range of products on display. Those included a very interesting AES67 / AES70 Network Amplifier created by Welliver Technologies, the AES70 GPIO Development kit from Profusion/Resolute Audio, a Swift implementation of AES70 by Lukktone, and of course the AES70py Library for the Python programming language offered by DeusO GmbH, to further promote an IT convergence with network audio devices.
Based on what the OCA Alliance showcased and what other ISE 2025 exhibitors were promoting (see the Elytone story) AES70 has a promising future. The great conversations in the OCA Alliance booth during the joint OCA/APDA initiative lasted for over two hours (in a busy show like ISE, it’s a demonstration of an incredible momentum for AES70!). The residential integration and commercial audio companies are united in their determination to expand connectivity, embrace AES70-based control, and move forward with the future of AoIP networking.
