Open Control Architecture Alliance Exhibits at Prolight+Sound 2015

The OCA Alliance is continuing its promotion of the OCA message at this year’s Prolight+Sound exhibition, both on the exhibition floor and in the activities of its members at the show. Among exhibiting member companies, d&b audiotechnik is launching its next generation D20 amplifier, a major new OCA enabled product.

OCA Alliance member companies Yamaha Commercial Audio, TC Group and Salzbrenner Stagetec, joined d&b audiotechnik in presenting the current status and future vision of Open Control Architecture, as these relate to the AV Installation and Systems Integration markets, at ISE 2015. The OCA vision of a common remote control standard to the AV industry seems to be picking up momentum.

The OCA Alliance successfully made the case for Open Control Architecture at the 137th AES Convention in Los Angeles. The OCA Alliance made considerable progress in promoting the benefits of its proposed standards-based control and monitoring architecture for networked audio devices employing any media transport protocol. AES project “AESX210” is currently working to render OCA into a ratified AES standard.

PLASA London takes place from Sunday 5 to Wednesday 8 October 2014 at ExCeL London. The show, which attracts the biggest names in professional lighting, audio, video and stage technologies, has been a pivotal date in the international entertainment technology tradeshow calendar for nearly four decades. The Professional Development Programme is part of PLASA London 2014 and aims to test theory, inspire debate and showcase expert insight from the different areas of the entertainment technology industry.

From 5th to 8th October, faces old and new will be at PLASA London, welcoming visitors to the d&b audiotechnik stand nestled in the heart of the Audio Village, where else? The German loudspeaker specialist will be presenting its latest Y-Series systems for small to medium sized sound reinforcement requirements.
