IPMX: Debunking the Myths, by David Chiappini, AIMS Pro AV Chairman, Matrox.
IPMX is an AV-over-IP standard for the pro AV market based on SMPTE ST 2110 and the NMOS set of open standards and specifications. Chiappini will describe how IPMX builds on top of this solid foundation to fulfill the requirements of pro AV customers—and dispel the common misconception that SMPTE ST 2110 is overdesigned for most pro AV use cases and will result in unnecessarily complex and expensive solutions. His presentation will highlight some of the unique characteristics of IPMX that enable simpler, more cost-effective solutions.

The market for professional AV technology and services has leveraged technological progress from multiple fields to drive down costs while simultaneously adding new capabilities in many applications each year. The most advanced installations always find creative ways to use technology to achieve what was previously impossible.
“The IPMX website makes it easy for anyone to learn more about this exciting approach to AV over IP,” said David Chiappini, working group chair, Pro AV Workgroup at AIMS. “In addition to outlining the fundamentals of IPMX and the benefits it enables, the website provides up-to-date information on related events and presentations by industry experts. The site is a one-stop shop for those interested in finding out more about IPMX and how it can be implemented within their operations.”
The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) will be participating in InfoComm 2020 Connected, the virtual audiovisual and integrated experience event running June 16-18. InfoComm 2020 Connected will feature AV product information, training, keynotes, and networking. Throughout the event, AIMS will showcase the new Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) proposed set of open standards and specifications and how they address the Pro AV industry’s need for a single set of common, ubiquitous, standards-based protocols that ensure interoperability for AV over IP.
“IPMX is the first and only open-standards approach to AV over IP, and this alone makes our virtual booth at InfoComm 2020 Connected worth a visit,” said David Chiappini, working group chair of the AIMS Pro AV Work Group.
“As the Pro AV world increasingly moves toward IP, IPMX provides a flexible, future-proof framework that ensures the interoperability and long-term utility of Pro AV systems. We encourage attendees to stop by to chat live with our experts, learn about the benefits of IPMX and consider joining AIMS and helping to shape the future of AV over IP.”
“We’ve been committed for many years to open standards such as SMPTE 2110 and AES67 with our VIPER AVoIP platform,” said Jean-Marie Cloquet, CTO, Silex Insight. “We’re thrilled to join an alliance that carries the same beliefs to create true interoperability in the AVoIP world.”
he Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) ProAV Working Group has published Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX), a set of open standards and specifications designed to enable carriage of compressed and uncompressed video, audio and data over IP networks.
At ISE 2020 in Amsterdam, the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) ProAV Working Group will introduce Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX), a set of open standards and specifications designed to enable carriage of compressed and uncompressed video, audio, and data over IP networks. IPMX addresses the ProAV industry’s need for a single set of common, ubiquitous standards-based protocols that ensure interoperability for AV-over-IP. The AIMS stand (15-B250) will feature information and technical sessions covering every aspect of IPMX.
