AES70py - Python Controller Library for AES70
This repository contains a collaboratively-developed open source Python implementation of AES70 from several AES70 adopters. It offers a collection of APIs for discovering, controlling, and monitoring remote OCA objects.
The full implementation is is still in development, but the current version is usable now for a wide variety of purposes. The final version will be a full implementation of AES70-2024. See the links below for up-to-date version information.

AES70.js JavaScript library
AES70.js is a javascript library that implements AES70. It can be used for building OCA device controllers for the web and NodeJS. It's an open-source component developed by OCA Alliance member DeusO. AES70.js is available on github at (https://github.com/DeutscheSoft/AES70.js) and as an NPM package at (https://www.npmjs.com/package/aes70).

AES70 Implementation Chart
The AES70 Implementation Chart is an Excel spreadsheet template that offers a standard way for documenting the OCA objects of a device. It is similar in purpose to the "MIDI Implementation Chart" pages frequently found in user manuals of MIDI-controlled devices. The AES70 Implementation chart is not part of the AES70 standard itself, but instead a recommended practice offered by the OCA Alliance.
Here are example implementation charts for OCA devices mentioned elsewhere in this site:

OCA Wireshark Legacy Plugin
Wireshark is a widely used network protocol analyzer. Beginning with Wireshark 4.0, an OCA plugin is included in its standard distribution. For Wireshark versions before 4.0, this plugin allows analyzing OCA network traffic.

OCA for Video Devices - An Experimental Specification
Although not originally designed for video devices, much of OCA is general enough that video device control is possible. In the future, specific video classes will be added to OCA.
As an experiment, we have drafted a partial OCA control model for a modern HD/4K production video camera from a major broadcast equipment manufacturer. This model is presented in the download, a six-slide presentation.
