A new AES Standards project, AES-X192, "High-performance streaming audio-over-IP interoperability" has been initiated.

The project aims to "specify protocols and interoperability guidelines for professional, low-latency streaming audio over high-performance IP networks", with the intent to produce a standard.

The most recent generation of networked audio technology uses a diversity of proprietary and standard protocols. Despite a common basis in IP, none of the systems deployed or under development are interoperable. The latest crop of networking technology has not yet reached a level of maturity precluding changes to improve interoperability.

A standardized basis for interoperability will help designers of equipment that inter-operates with other equipment, and will support extended multi-vendor systems with greater predictability.
