A maintenance revision to AES67-2013 – the AES standard for high-performance streaming audio-over-IP interoperability – has been issued. The revision, called AES67-2015, clarifies some of the interoperability requirements.
The possibility to incorporate these revisions was identified during the AES Plugfest testing, carried out in cooperation with the European Broadcast Union (EBU), in October 2014, and held at the Institut für Rundfunktechnik (IRT), in Munich, Germany. During these tests, ten companies tested 16 currently available networked-audio products with AES67-specific extensions against each other to confirm interoperability.
‘The limited scope of these revisions is testimony to the robust and stable nature of AES67 as originally published and successfully implemented by numerous audio manufacturers,’ says Technical Chairman, Kevin Gross. ‘As proven in the plugfest testing, AES67 functional compatibility performs as described and these revisions further complement that functionality.’
