The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) has announced the official launch of Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) as a fully developed, certifiable standard.
Created by AIMS in collaboration with VSF and AMWA, IPMX implements a standards-based approach based on SMPTE ST 2110, with features and capabilities that target the specific needs of the broadcast and professional A/V industries. In addition to simplifying the implementation of SMPTE ST 2110 and ensuring interoperability for AV-over-IP systems, IPMX incorporates core features tailored to professional A/V installations.
These features include asynchronous audio and video support suitable for both live production and presentations, 4K60 transmission over a single gigabit network, and HDCP for content security. IPMX also includes a control layer provided by AMWA’s NMOS specifications, which enhances device interoperability and eases the dependency on a myriad of proprietary control system protocols.
‘This marks a defining moment for IPMX, AIMS, and the pro A/V industry,’ says Andrew Starks, board of directors member and marketing working group chair for AIMS. ‘After years of collaborative development and real-world testing, IPMX is launching at ISE as a certifiable and deployable technology, with products that have formally demonstrated interoperability and compliance. As certified products begin to enter the market, we’re excited about the year ahead as IPMX drives the evolution of AV-over-IP from proprietary implementations toward a truly open, innovative, and future-proof ecosystem.’
