AES70 Device Control Standard for Networked Audio

Description

AES70 is a device control standard for professional media networks. The OCA Alliance presents it as a way to control and monitor audio equipment alongside network transport systems such as AES67, Dante, and AVB/TSN.

The page explains that AES70 is intended for control and monitoring rather than media transport. It is described as a flexible, open standard that can be used with a wide range of AV devices and networked audio systems.

For radio and broadcast engineers, the standard is relevant in studios and technical plants where interoperable control of routers, processors, interfaces, and other connected equipment is needed. The page also notes that standards-based systems can simplify integration across multiple subsystems.

The OCA Alliance positions AES70 as a public standard supported by guidance, tools, and reference information. The page also mentions compliance testing resources and commercial libraries or reference designs available from multiple sources.
