AIMS’ approach to technological innovation for broadcast works because we have the active participation of many of the best individuals and organizations in the industry. We want your knowledge and experience to help us become even more productive.

JOIN THE ALLIANCE

The transition from SDI to IP marks a key juncture in the broadcast industry. IP can enable new business models and make the broadcast industry stronger and more competitive. Now is the time to promote and deploy standards that accelerate the broadcast industry’s ability to compete. Now is the time to not shrink toward proprietary approaches that saddle the industry with a slower migration and added costs.

By supporting the principles of AIMS and following the SMPTE/VSF roadmap, broadcasters and suppliers can feel comfortable investing in IP solutions today—and the industry overall will have a real option to save cost, avoid interoperability headaches and implement a true, common language for replacing SDI.
