The OCA Alliance has announced that FBT, an OCA member, has debuted a host of new products incorporating the AES70 standard — after first building its INFINITO system management software to leverage the platform — that now includes powered loudspeakers, control software and the new MIURA Series of DSP and Dante-enabled power amplifiers.
“When we started designing our INFINITO system management suite, the main challenge was to find a stable, flexible, and easy communication protocol to deploy in our MCUs,” explains Marco Secondini, R&D engineer with FBT. “Being developed for professional audio systems, the AES70 standard allowed us to quickly develop our INFINITO control system in all the new FBT products. It has brought an additional value since our products were ready to be integrated into complex and interoperable systems, entirely manageable from a unified control platform.”
OCA Alliance marketing chair Ethan Wetzell adds,“The way FBT has utilized AES70 to quickly and efficiently develop a media networking ecosystem across their portfolio is a great example of how standards can provide benefits to end users as well as development groups. The use of standards really is a force multiplier for engineers that results in more development, quicker time to market, and a strategically sound investment in resources, time, and money.”
