AES70-2015 AES standard for audio applications of networks - Open Control Architecture, has been published in three parts.
AES70 defines a scalable control-protocol architecture for professional media networks. AES70 addresses device control and monitoring only; it does not define standards for streaming media transport. However, the Open Control Architecture (OCA) is intended to cooperate with various media transport architectures.
Part 1: Framework describes the models and mechanisms of the AES70 Open Control Architecture. These models and mechanisms together form the AES70 Framework. This document should be read together with Part 2, Class Structure and Part 3, TCP/IP communications protocol.
Part 2: Class structure specifies the control class structure for AES70 that defines the AES70's control and monitoring functional capabilities and should be read in conjunction with Part 1, Framework, and Part 3, TCP/IP communications protocol.
Part 3: Protocol for TCP/IP Networks specifies a protocol implementation for TCP/IP networks. It should be read in conjunction with Part 1, Framework, and Part 2, Class Tree.

The standard AES67-2015, a revision of AES67-2013, specifies methods for high-performance streaming audio-over-IP network interoperability.
This report summarizes the AES67 interoperability test event ("plugfest") held at the headquarters of National Public Radio (NPR), Washington DC on 2 to 5 November 2015. Eleven companies tested 13 products against each other to confirm interoperability. The results are presented, together with the results of a range of tests of optional operational modes described in the standard.
The purpose of this interoperability test was to demonstrate functional compatibility - interoperability - between a number of different implementations of the standard AES67-2015, "AES standard for audio applications of networks - High-performance streaming audio-over-IP interoperability". They were not intended to be exhaustive compliance tests.
This report follows the same pattern as the AES-R12 report of the 2014 AES67 plugfest, held in Munich.

AES67-2015 AES standard for audio applications of networks - High-performance streaming audio-over-IP interoperability, has been published, revising AES67-2013.
This standard defines an interoperability mode for transport of high-performance audio over networks based on the Internet Protocol. For the purposes of the standard, high-performance audio refers to audio with full bandwidth and low noise. These requirements imply linear PCM coding with a sampling frequency of 44,1 kHz and higher and resolution of 16 bits and higher. High performance also implies a low-latency capability compatible with live sound applications. The standard considers latency performance of 10 milliseconds or less. This standard provides comprehensive interoperability recommendations in the areas of synchronization, media clock identification, network transport, encoding and streaming, session description and connection management.
This revision of the 2013 standard includes minor changes identified during 'plugfest' testing in October 2014 and includes updated references to RFC 7273, and clarifications in 6.3, 8.1, and 8.5.

The AES Standards Report, AES-R8-2015, "AES standards project report - Synchronisation of digital audio over wide areas" has been revised.
The background material has been extended, and greater reference has been made to various technologies that are in use. More guidance to current use has been provided. Additionally, references to telecommunication standards have been provided, as additional reading material for the interested, as they discuss similar long-distance connections. Finally, a new clause has been added to discuss the synchronization side of monitoring, providing some guidance on monitoring that may be needed for good operation.

AES17-2015, AES standard method for digital audio engineering - Measurement of digital audio equipment, has been published.
This standard provides methods for specifying and verifying the performance of medium-to-high performance digital audio equipment. It comprises an exhaustive list of measurements applicable to digital audio equipment.
This document substantially revises and updates AES17-1998, AES standard method for digital audio equipment - Measurement of digital audio equipment. It includes measurements using more up-to-date measurement tools, and includes annexes describing advanced measurement methods for production testing, and frequency-domain and window-width filters.
