Together with the Video Services Forum (VSF), Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA) and European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) has officially certified 48 products Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) standard compliant at the recent IPMX Product Testing and Certification Event in Geneva.
IPMX is a set of open standards and specifications designed to extend SMPTE ST 2110-based media transport and AMWA NMOS-based control into a broader range of markets, including professional A/V, live events, corporate media, education and beyond. The IPMX Product Testing and Certification Event represented the first opportunity for manufacturers to formally certify products against the IPMX set of open specifications for professional media over IP.
Following rigorous testing, solutions from Bridge Technologies, Matrox, Adeas/Nextera, Panasonic, Cobalt, intoPIX, plexusAV, Megapixel, Novastar and Evertz successfully passed certification. These products are now certified and will carry the IPMX branding, signalling verified compliance with published transport, control, and interoperability requirements.
‘We couldn’t be more excited to be unveiling the first IPMX-compliant products at ISE 2026,’ says, IPMX Pro AV Working Group Chair, Sam Recine. ‘The certification of these solutions represents a milestone in IPMX’s transition from specification to a certifiable and deployable technology, validating years of collaborative technical work and confirming that IPMX is ready to move from development into active deployment.
In addition to uncompressed workflows, IPMX introduces support for compressed video, simplified system timing, HDCP, and defined system profiles to make deployment more practical, scalable, and cost-effective for pro A/V environments. The certification program is designed to ensure predictable behaviour, reliable interoperability, and adherence to the published IPMX test plans and specifications.
‘AIMS extends its sincere thanks to Packetstorm and Meinberg for their critical technical contributions, test infrastructure, and timing and network expertise that were essential to the success of IPMX interoperability and certification efforts,’ Recine adds. ‘We also recognise the EBU for hosting the event and for providing independent administration of the test process, ensuring a rigorous and neutral certification environment.’
