The OCA Alliance, the trade association supporting the AES70 standard for open control architecture, is to host a unique event at ISE 2025. In partnership with the Audio Product Development Alliance (ADPA) – an association dedicated to improving the knowledge and skills of professionals involved in the development of audio products, from concept to delivery – the OCA Alliance is holding a product development meet-up on their stand 7-E260 at 2pm on Wednesday February 5th, 2025.

Interested parties are invited to learn more about how the incorporation of open standards such as AES70 into their products can help get their products to market faster and appeal to a wider audience.
It’s also an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow professionals and exchange ideas and insights. To enroll for this event, please register your interest here by January 17th 2025.
The announcement follows the recent publication of the latest revision of the OCA standard, AES70-2024, which introduces several valuable additions. Along with new classes, the update features new methods, a new specification for using the OCP.1 protocol, and several documentation updates.
Fully backwards compatible with existing implementations, AES70-2024 expands the technical foundations of the growing and evolving OCA ecosystem. Summaries and overviews of the most recent additions to the standard can be found on the OCA Alliance website.
Ethan Wetzell, marketing chair for the OCA Alliance, said: “AES70 is very much a living and evolving standard, and we are grateful to the developers and contributors who continue to support and expand it. As media networks expand in relevance and complexity, the ability of AES70 to grow in parallel to offer new components and solutions enhances the value for developers in combining standards and technologies to create holistic solutions. We are delighted to be partnering with the ADPA at ISE 2025 to share these latest developments and demonstrate to manufacturers how AES70 can enhance their product offerings.”
