AES70 Python Project Gathers Momentum. Expanding Control Options for Networked Audio and AV Systems

AES70py, a development project for an MIT licensed AES70 Library for Python programming, is making progress and receiving industry support. According to Matt Hardy (DeusO GmbH), the key point for the AES70 Python Project vision is to promote an IT convergence with network audio devices, meeting the pressing need for control systems within existing ecosystems: "AES70py offers a way to make this happen easily. It's also great for manufacturers doing things like automatic testing AES70 devices."

In this R&D Stories article for audioXpress, Matt Hardy (Business Development Manager, DeusO GmbH) looks at the evolution of Audio Control Interfaces. Looking beyond the transportation of audio over IP, the article considers approaches to matching the flexibility of an AoIP network structure with new technologies and standards for control and monitoring user interfaces. This article was originally published in audioXpress, July 2019.

For our July 2019 edition, audioXpress focused on audio amplification technologies and platforms, including a Market Update on Audio Amplifiers.
