Along with the ever-increasing variety of devices added to networks, the complexity of commercial audio systems has skyrocketed. Audio and IT engineers need technologies that enable them to provide users with the most cutting-edge experiences while maintaining ease of use.
IPMX is built on SMPTE ST 2110 and is supported by a large base of manufacturers. Critical announcements from some new adopters of IPMX were showcased in live demonstrations, not possible with any other AV-over-IP protocols.
Built on ‘foundational’ standards work by SMPTE, VSF and AMWA, the IP Media Experience (IMPX) initiative – supported by AIMS, SMPTE, AMWA, VSF and JT-NM – looks poised to go mainstream during the next 12 months, writes David Davies.
The promise of IPMX is that it will change everything about Pro AV by meeting the market requirements of multi-vendor interoperability that only open standards can guarantee.
The Audio Engineering Society (AES), Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS), Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA), European Broadcasting Union (EBU), SMPTE®, and the Video Services Forum (VSF) today revealed the IP Showcase presentation schedule for IBC2022, Sept. 9-12 at RAI Amsterdam, Room G102. The daily series of sequential, live 30-minute presentations on the IP Showcase booth will continue throughout each day of the show. Attendees can also attend the SMPTE ST 2110 Launch Pad Quick-Start Course for IP Media Systems on Sunday, Sept. 11, between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
“IP Showcase at IBC2022 will give attendees a valuable opportunity to engage with top experts, learn from designers and implementers of cutting-edge facilities, and participate in discussions about the latest topics around IP-based media operations and workflows,” said IP Showcase chairperson Andrew Starks.
IP Showcase is committed to educating attendees at major industry events on the business and creative potential of IP media solutions. Presentations at IBC2022 will explore SMPTE ST 2110 from a variety of perspectives — training and education, architecture, managing audio, connectivity, and more. Experts will speak on NMOS, offering a broad tutorial and getting into specifics with more focused presentations. Numerous sessions will provide practical guidance, both through case studies profiling real-world implementations and through reviews of best practices related to IP production, QC, monitoring, timing, and more.
IP Showcase will also host a special SMPTE ST 2110 Launch Pad Quick-Start Course for IP Media Systems on Sunday, Sept. 11, between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Session topics, presented by industry leaders, include SMPTE ST 2110, PTP, IP network design, NMOS, and installing and troubleshooting. Admission is free of charge.

Lumens® Digital Optics Inc., a manufacturer of broadcast-quality cameras, media processors and AV over IP devices, has joined the AIMS Alliance (Alliance for IP Media Solutions), with a focus on the development of the forthcoming IPMX format.
Barco, global leader in visualization and image processing technologies, is a new member of the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS). With AIMS’ new Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) set of open standards and specifications gaining traction in the Pro AV industry, the Barco membership ties in with the company’s perspective and roadmap in terms of AV-over-IP solutions.
The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) will host its first live interoperability demonstration of Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) — a set of standards-based protocols designed to ensure interoperability for AV over IP — at InfoComm 2022, June 8-10 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
AV and broadcasting have different heritages, different priorities and different approaches. So should they break it off and go their separate ways? Or can they learn from each other in a way that benefits them both?
In Las Vegas, AVNation’s Bradford Benn is back in the InfoComm 2022 studio with Andre Testa, the Senior Director of FPG and Hardware Engineering at Matrox. Matrox is part of AIMS, a networking topology organization that’s promoting IPMX as an industry open standard.
