The Open Control Architecture Alliance has been formed to ensure the standardisation for a wide interoperability of professional audio equipment. Since its formation in June 2011 the nine full members have been working towards a final technical definition of OCA and it eventually becoming worldwide standard.
The following documents are now available to observer members: OCF Open Control Architecture Framework and OCC Open Control Architecture Control Classes.
The observer members are encouraged to give their feedback to the OCA Alliance at this early stage of development and will be able to join active membership in the second phase of the standardisation process.
The formation and work of the OCA Alliance received high interest in the pro audio community, resulting in a rapidly growing number of observer members. A complete list of the observer members is available at the OCA Alliance website www.oca-alliance.com. Other interested companies are welcomed to join as observers, please, contact the OCA Alliance at info@oca-alliance.com.
