This presentation will summarize the AES70 control architecture for media devices and describe new features in its upcoming release. As well, it will introduce available AES70 developer tools and information resources for implementers, most of which are free.

AES70 is a full-featured control and monitoring architecture for both real and virtual (i.e. cloud-based) media devices. Currently focused on audio device control and monitoring, AES70 is not itself an audio transport scheme but is designed to cooperate with and complement modern audio transport schemes such as AES67, SMPTE ST 2110-30, Dante™, and MILAN.

AES70 is a fully-engineered design intended for professional media systems. It is lightweight to implement, yet suitable for critical applications of all scales from tiny to huge. AES70 and its toolset are a ready-to-use solution for industrial-strength control and monitoring of network-based media processing hardware and software.
