AES67 Resources

This is a curated list of AES67 resources.

Open source software

• voc/aes67-recorder: AES67 multitrack recording software developed by the CCC VOC
• bondagit/aes67-linux-daemon: Alsa virtual soundcard based on the Merging AES67 Alsa driver
• markmcconnell/mai: JACK AES67 virtual soundcard
• njh/mast: Multicast Audio Streaming Toolkit compatible with AES67
• martim01/pam: “Open Source Audio Monitoring Software designed for (but not limited to) a Raspberry Pi with touchscreen.” Supports AES67 based streams.
• ebu/pi-list: Tool to analyse packet captures for SMPTE 2110 compliance.
• GStreamer: Multimedia framework that implements RTP and PTP, and is thus able to receive and generate AES67 compliant RTP streams. The before mentioned aes67-recorder is based on GStreamer. To see how to use GStreamer with AES67 you can take a look at the following examples: AES67 to Icecast relay, listen to AES67 stream, relay AES67 to a different subnet or sync GStreamer to PTP master.
• NeilBetham/livewire-streamer: Livewire to Icecast gateway, this will also work with AES67
• PADL/OpenAvnu: Work in Progess AVB to AES67 Bridge
• “convert” a Dante multicast stream to AES67 This is a proof of concept. Might still be interesting for people, who want to use Dante VSC or Dante Via (which do not support AES67) with AES67 receivers.
• nicolassturmel/aes67-web-monitor (still in early development): Service that allows you to monitor AES67 streams in your browser.
• philhartung/aes67-sender: Make a soundcard input available in an AES67 or Dante network.
• philhartung/aes67-visualization: Command line tool to launch ffmpeg audio visualizations from AES67 sdp files

Closed source software

• Lawo VSC (Windows) AES67 virtual soundcard
• Lawo Stream Monitor (Windows) AES67 stream monitoring tool
• Merging AES67 ALSA Driver (Linux, free and partially open source) AES67 Alsa virtual soundcard
• Merging MacOS VSC (MacOS, free) AES67 virtual soundcard
• Livewire+ VSC (Windows) Livewire+ virtual soundcard, compatible with AES67
• Ravenna VSC (Windows, free) Ravenna virtual soundcard, compatible with AES67
• RAV2SAP (Windows, free) “Session announcement translation between RAVENNA and SAP-based systems”
• PTP Track Hound (MacOS, Linux, Windows, free) PTP network traffic analysis tool
• Aneman (MacOS, Windows, free) Cross platform and cross vendor AoIP connection manager
• AES67 Test Tone (MacOS, free) AES67 test tone app, does not implement PTP

Discussion, talks, articles and other resources

• Audio over IP Google mailing list: A place for users and software developers to discuss Audio over IP topics
• How we used AES67 at 35C3: Short talk about how AES67 was used on the 35c3. There is also an article about the topic.
• AES70 resources: AES70 or Open Control Architecture (Wikipedia) is a standard, to manage, control and monitor AoIP devices. The standard consists of three parts (Part 1: Framework, Part 2: Class structure, Part 3: Protocol for TCP/IP Networks).
• Connecting Dante devices to AES67: This article is for Yamaha devices, but the information also applies other Dante devices, that support AES67
• Receiving AES67 audio on the command line: Interesting article about receiving AES67 streams with rtpdump and SoX
• Three Tips for Setting Up and Managing a Standard and AES67 Network
• PTPv2 Timing protocol in AV networks: In-depth article about the Precision Time Protocol version 2
• AES67 Open Source wishlist: If you want to get started in open source AES67 software development, this is a good list to look at what is still needed/wanted in open source AES67 software
