AES70py Initial Public Release

DENVER, CO, USA, 03:53pm, September 6, 2025 — AES70py, a development project for a MIT licensed AES70 library for the Python programming language, has been released during the CEDIA show with version 1.0.2.

During the show, Matt Hardy and Bill Welliver, AES70py project team members, completed a milestone to version 1.0.2. “We worked tirelessly during the CEDIA show in Denver and succeeded in organising a public release." says Hardy. "We will be following up the release by updating our supporting material and adding further examples to the documentation. Follow the project on the LinkedIn AES70py Group.”

The software library is available on the GitHub repository and can be installed using the Python pip package manager method.

Bill Welliver adds, "We're excited to release this software to assist engineers and developers working with AES70 Pro Audio devices. We also hope to see the Commercial Integrator market benefit from enhanced convergence between IT systems and Pro Audio OCA devices."

The source code can be found on Github.com.

AES70py is released under the MIT license, a permissive software license that grants private and commercial use as long as the original copyright and license notice is included.

T&M Media Join AES70py as Gold Sponsors

AMSTERDAM, September 16, 2024 — AES70py, a development project for a MIT licensed AES70 Library for the Python Programming Language, is pleased to welcome support from Gold Sponsor T&M Media Pty Ltd.

During the IBC Show Matt Hardy, AES70py project representative, presented a Certificate of Recognition for the generous contribution from T&M Media. “We are very grateful for the financial contribution which essentially kick-started the project's vision to make a meaningful contribution to the IT and Pro Audio industries.” says Matt Hardy.

The Python Library will be freely available to Python Engineers tasked with integrating software and hardware on IT systems networked with OCA Devices. Matt Hardy points out that “engineers use Python extensively in systems where things as simple as responding to a network event can present blockers when bridging to OCA devices with AES70. If native control protocols for AES70 are available in Python, it becomes a lot easier to extend existing networked systems natively into the modern Pro Audio control and monitoring realm.”

Mark Lownds of T&M Media says, “We’re supporting the MIT project because we see a Standards approach to infrastructure-focused technology as key to building robust systems which deal with audio and data simultaneously. The AES70 Standard presents the kind of continuity we need in decades-long life cycles of control and monitoring equipment and software deployments alike.”

The AES70py project is ongoing, with proof of concept initially presented at this year’s Infocomm in Las Vegas. For more information about the project and the developers or how to get involved, https://aes70py.org/
