OCA Alliance Promoted Open Control Architecture/AES70 Standard at ISE 2016

The OCA Alliance has successfully promoted the new Open Control Architecture (OCA) AES70 standard at the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2016 show in Amsterdam. The association promoted a display of the latest developments and introduced the OCA MicroDemo development platform to other manufacturers and system integrators. PC-based Control Specialist Beckhoff also announced OCA (AES70) integration at ISE 2016.

Symetrix announced its new range of Dante I/O devices, including the Symetrix xIn 4 audio input expander, xOut 4 audio output expander and xIO 4x4 audio input/output expander, designed to deliver increased system flexibility to the integration market, increasingly adopting Audinate’s audio networking technology.

The OCA Alliance confirmed availability of the OCA MicroDemo demonstration platform to prove that OCA – a common remote control and monitoring language for digital audio networks – can run in lightweight hardware environments. The OCA MicroDemo runs on a 120 MHz Cortex M3 processor and was developed jointly by OCA member companies Focusrite, Attero Tech, and Bosch.

Major broadcasters and manufacturers are among the latest members to join the Media Networking Alliance, recently formed by leading industry proponents, adopters, developers and suppliers of media networking technologies to promote adoption and support adopters of the newly ratified AES67 audio networking standard.
