New AIMS Events and Activities in 2020
AIMS has hit the ground running in 2020. With big plans for both ISE 2020 and the 2020 NAB Show, AIMS members have been busy preparing for some significant standards-related announcements and orchestrating participation in IP-focused events and presentations.
AIMS has great plans for 2020, and we’re excited about what’s in store — for us and for the media industry.
We’ll be starting off with a significant standards-related announcement at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2020. During the show, which runs Feb. 11-14 in Amsterdam, the AIMS ProAV Working group will officially unveil 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. (You can get further details in the formal press release.)
If you don’t get to see IPMX at ISE 2020, never fear! We’ll be highlighting it and its set of new standards and specifications at the 2020 NAB Show in Las Vegas. Of course, AIMS also will be helping to organize and orchestrate the IP Showcase at NAB, and we hope to see you at this year’s event.
At the 2020 NAB Show, the IP Showcase will have two core goals: to illustrate the ease and viability of leveraging media over IP for real-world deployments, and to showcase and explain the underlying technologies that make it all possible.
If you’re able to visit the IP Showcase Theater, you will hear a great deal more about the technologies and capabilities that enable IP to meet the current and future needs for media workflows. You’ll also get the chance to learn about the growing number of real-world IP deployments from the broadcasters and media providers that are already adopting IP workflows.
Just wandering around the IP Showcase, you’ll see the latest innovations in IP displayed at demonstration pods. It’s a great opportunity to see a wide range of vendors showcasing interoperability for connectivity, control and management for production, playout and distribution.
Anyone who is interested in presenting at the IP Showcase is encouraged to submit to the Call for Presentations. A presentation provides an unmatched opportunity to offer your unique viewpoint of how IP technology is transforming the broadcast industry. For 2020, the following types of presentations will be most welcome:
- Case studies from end users and their technology suppliers that describe real-world accomplishments and experiences in deploying SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS systems.
- Basic tutorials targeted towards newcomers to the field of IP video.
- Advanced technology presentations, which describe the newest developments in standards and specifications that have recently been released or are currently in development.
The deadline for submissions is Feb. 28. For more information, or to submit a proposal, visit www.ipshowcase.org/call-for-presentations-nab-2020/.
While we’ve been putting a great deal of work into IPMX and into the IP Showcase, we’ve also had some time to join up with SMPTE to contribute to a special supplement for TVBEurope. Check it out!
AIMS and SMPTE joined forces to participate in an article for TVBEurope on the next decade’s possible impact on the media and entertainment industry — primarily from a standards perspective. SMPTE Standards Vice President Bruce Devlin and AIMS Marketing Working Group Chairman Andy Warman looked at the two groups’ shared emphasis on interoperability and some of the challenges and opportunities they see arising as the industry moves toward 2030.
BOTHELL, Wash. — Feb. 7, 2020 — The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) ProAV Working Group today announced the presentation program for ISE 2020, which runs Feb. 11-14 at the Amsterdam RAI. Presentations will focus on topics including Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX), the newly introduced set of open standards and specifications designed to enable carriage of compressed and uncompressed video, audio, and data over IP networks for the ProAV industry.
The program takes place in two locations for attendees to learn about IPMX, with introductory and technical topics being discussed. The AIMS Theater (Room G110) will feature presentations on Feb. 11, and AIMS will offer a unique lineup of content in its stand, 15-B250, from Feb. 11 to Feb. 13.
Room G110: Overview Track (Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2-3:30 p.m.)
Andrew Starks, Macnica,
“Introducing IPMX”Claudio Becker-Foss, Direct Out,
“Changes in the Production World”Andre Testa, Matrox
“How Does IPMX Really Work?”Room G110: Technical Track (Tuesday, Feb. 11, 4-5:15 p.m.)

“JPEG-XS for ProAV”
The full schedule of AIMS presentations is posted at https://aimsalliance.org/theater-presentations-ise-2020/, with details about speakers, topics, presentation times, and locations.
“IPMX addresses the ProAV industry’s need for a single set of common, ubiquitous standards-based protocols that ensure interoperability for AV over IP, and ISE 2020 provides an excellent forum for education and discussion of this important advance,” said David Chiappini, chair of the AIMS ProAV Working Group. “As the ProAV world increasingly moves toward IP networking, an understanding of IPMX and enabling standards and specifications will be essential. We look forward to hosting engaging presentations that offer attendees practical value and knowledge.”
The AIMS presentations will provide two tracks: a less technical Overview Track for attendees who want to understand the IP-related technology of IPMX, and a Technical Track designed for those who want to understand the underlying mechanics of IPMX and who are considering or planning adoption.
AIMS will exhibit in Stand 15-B250 at ISE 2020. More information about AIMS and its work is available at www.aimsalliance.org. Further information about ISE 2020 is available at www.iseurope.org.
2020 NAB Show Pavilions Previews is a series of articles designed to give broadcasting professions a glimpse at what to expect on the Las Vegas show floor and what will be highlighted at the various attractions, pavilions, and theaters featured there.
On the 2020 NAB Show website, the IP Showcase pavilion is described as follows: “From broadcast engineers and IT to CEO’s, TV Producers and beyond, this destination is designed to guide industry professionals on the advantages of switching to IP, how to implement new infrastructure and make the shift as securely as possible.
BOTHELL, Wash. — Feb. 5, 2020 — 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.
“IPMX implements a standards-based approach based on SMPTE ST 2110, with features and capabilities that target the specific needs of the ProAV industry,” said David Chiappini, chair of the AIMS ProAV Working Group. “As manufacturers build IPMX support into their products, end users and integrators can be assured that those products truly conform to an interoperable and open standard for AV over IP.”
In addition to simplifying implementation of SMPTE ST 2110 and ensuring interoperability for AV-over-IP systems, IPMX incorporates further features tailored to ProAV installations. These features include AMWA NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 for discovery, registration, and connection management; and specifications for copy protection and security.
IPMX is the result of the AIMS ProAV Working Group’s efforts to define an open-standards approach to addressing the ProAV world’s move toward IP media. The working group’s approach for ProAV follows AIMS’ broader efforts with the broadcast/media industry — namely, to promote multivendor interoperability that will foster long-term protection of customers’ investments in technology and products. With the new IPMX open standards and specifications approach, AIMS presents a flexible, future-proof way to meet the video, audio, and data requirements of current and future ProAV solutions over IP — a framework for open, easy-to-deploy solutions.
