ANSI E1.17-2015
Entertainment Technology - Architecture for Control Networks (ACN)
ANSI E1.17 is a suite of documents that specifies an architecture, including protocols and language, which may be configured and combined with other standard protocols to form flexible, networked audio, lighting, or other control systems. It can be implemented on networks that support UDP, IP, and related protocols. It is not bound to Ethernet as a transport medium, but Ethernet is an obvious choice. ACN is being distributed via download as a ZIPped archive of PDFs and a directory of related DDL files as DDL and HTML. Only one part of the suite of documents was revised in the 2015 edition, EPI 19. All other content remains substantially unchanged from the 2010 version.
