Simplifying Interoperability Across Audio Systems

PICS Summaries should be submitted to the AES Standards Manager by email at standards@aes.org. A blank PICS Summary form may be downloaded here at no cost. It may be completed using the free Adobe viewer.

The summary filename should follow the format below. It may not contain any of the following characters: \ / * ? ” < > : | ^

AES67-2018-PICS-Summary_Vendor-Name_Model-Name_Version_Description.pdf

Use dashes between words of a vendor, product name, or description. Two dashes in a row will result in a dash in the text. Use underscores to separate the vendor, product, version and description information. This will enable parsing and creating the entries for the table. The vendor, product name, and version values should match the contents of the corresponding field in the PICS summary. The filename is limited to 192 characters.

For example, AES67-2018-PICS-Summary_Godzilla-Audio_EQ–4_1_Four-Channel-Equalizer.pdf

• Vendor: Godzilla Audio
• Product Name: EQ-4
• Version: 1
• Description: Four Channel Equalizer

 

After printing to the PDF we suggest making the following modifications to the PDF before sending it to us:

• Add “AES67-2018-PICS-Summary_” to the beginning of the filename and replace the Title in Document Properties.
• Replace the Author in Document Properties with the Vendor name used in the Filename.
• Change the default Magnification to “Fit Page” on the Initial View tab of Document Properties.
• Change the Window Options to Show the “Document Title” on the Initial View tab of Document Properties.

 

Then save the PDF with those changes and send it to standards@aes.org.
