The OCA Alliance, the trade association dedicated to the promotion, support, and development of the AES70 control standard, has announced the membership of Austria-based networking specialists JOYNED, which aims to enable companies to incorporate media networking into their products by providing tools and resources that leverage open public standards.
“JOYNED was founded to facilitate and promote network technologies for the professional Pro AV industry,” says Richi Rozas, CMO and co-founder of JOYNED., which showcased its development borad that combines MILAN and AES70 at the ISE 2023 show. “Professional consortia like the OCA Alliance provide the right environments to collaborate, influence and develop the future of these technologies.
“Open standards are the basis for reliable, future-proof ecosystems,” he continues. “They generate certainty for manufacturers, who will benefit from know-how that goes beyond the expertise of their particular company. Now, the real challenge is to fill the gap between the standard’s specifications and the actual implementation of the technology into a commercial product. This is where we want to help and add value to the manufacturers, enabling them to simplify this complex process.”
Ethan Wetzell, maketing chair for the OCA Alliance, adds, “Open public standards are the industry’s best resource for tackling the complex media networking world. The OCA Alliance is thrilled to have JOYNED as a member. Their work to bring additional options for developers to incorporate AES70 into their products will allow even more companies to add these standards-based solutions into their products. This also reinforces the idea that solutions may be built out of combinations of standards, and we see a lot of opportunity for this combination of AES70 and MILAN.”
