NEW YORK — The OCA Alliance, based in Bothell, WA, is also very much in NYC this weekend for the 139th International AES Convention at Javits Center, Booth #342. The OCA is there to present new technologies and developments on the open control standard front. Among significant events and announcements at the show, there is a live lightweight hardware demonstration of OCA — the OCA Microdemo — on the booth, the announcement of new OCA Alliance member companies, and progress on the standardization of OCA.
At AES the alliance will be demonstrating the OCA Microdemo, which is a full-features implementation of OCA running on a compact and lightweight reference design. This implementation is ideal for compact devices such as wall controllers or hardware designs where software and hardware resources are limited. The OCA Alliance is also pleased to welcome its latest new member, Atlas Sound, LP/Innovative Electronic Designs, LLC (Atlas IED).
The standardization of OCA via AES Project X210 is moving toward the final stages of ratification. OCA is now the proposed standard AES70. This represents a major milestone as OCA moves into public comment for final review before becoming an official public standard.
