OCA Alliance welcomes NDI as a member
February 27, 2025
The OCA Alliance is very pleased to welcome NDI as a member to the trade association.
Join us at ISE 2025! Visit Hall 7, Booth #E260 to watch engaging presentations, participate in hands-on demos, and connect with peers at our Product Development Meet-up.
This year, the OCA Alliance will highlight the latest update to the AES70-2024 device control standard, featuring new classes, enhanced methods, an updated specification for the OCP.1 protocol, and refined documentation. We look forward to sharing these developments with you.
The OCA Alliance is a not-for-profit corporation formed to promote and support the AES70 standard for Open Control Architecture (OCA) as a media networking system control standard for professional applications.
The Alliance’s purposes is to support the development and evolution of the standard and promote adoption of AES70 through marketing, education and training, and to develop new AES70 revisions and related materials that increase the value and usability of AES70 as an interoperability tool for the media systems industry.
AES70 is a freely-available open standard for control and monitoring of networked audio and video devices published January 2014. It is based on the specification of OCA (Open Control Architecture) that was first developed by the OCA Alliance.
Targeted for professional applications, AES70 works from 2 to 10,000 devices – even mission-critical and life-safety use. AES70 works alongside any media transport protocol such as AES67, Dante, RAVENNA, AVB etc., delivering a complete media network platform for digital audio systems of any size.
Whether you are an engineer looking to find a better way to control audio systems or a manufacturer wanting to adopt control into your products, this site is the definitive resource for information on all things AES70.
You can find details about the standard itself, lists of AES70 products, software and even links to the code. A good place to start is the tutorials section, where you can find out how AES70 works and the real world uses and benefits.
Not tied to any particular control system
Easy for manufacturers to implement into products you use
Standards-based control, across any media
Confidence in interoperability with other vendors products
Works alongside any audio and video networking protocol
There are two answers to this question:
Standards-based – not tied to any vendor
Rapid development and speed to market
Comprehensive & scalable structure
No licensing costs
Confidence in interoperability with other vendors products
Low hardware overhead
The OCA Alliance is very pleased to welcome NDI as a member to the trade association.
