|
|
[page updated 2008-09-03]
This project was proposed by Umberto Zangieri through working group SC-02-02. It was approved under our rules by Subcommittee SC-02 and assigned to the working group SC-02-02 on digital input/output interfaces.
|
TITLE
|
AES-X182, AES/Ethernet Simple Open Protocol
|
|
SCOPE
|
to specify a means for transmission over category 5 data cable of unidirectional digital audio and bidirectional control data. Intended applications are active loudspeakers and amplifiers for live performance and for installations.
|
|
OUTPUT INTENT
|
Standard
|
|
RATIONALE
|
An open specification for remotely connecting an amplifier that may have onboard digital signal processing, and provide a vendor dependent control path, is currently not available; proprietary standards are available but are not optimal for low channel counts from the economical point of view. |
|
WHO BENEFITS?
|
Manufacturers and users of remote-controlled amplifiers and powered loudspeakers.
|
|
WHY AES?
|
AES has expertise with AES3 for digital audio and also networked control
