The AES67 standard has been at the heart of audio over IP since its publication in 2013. Defining a minimum set of requirements essential to interoperability at the IP layer, AES67 fulfilled (and still does) the requirements of professional audio while remaining easy to adopt.
Over the past year, it has become clear that IPMX, which builds on SMPTE ST 2110 and AMWA’s NMOS APIs, is shaping up to be the standard that not only meets the needs of Pro AV, but also to become the standard that is used in both production and presentation workflows. With one open standard for low-latency video and audio over any network, for any purpose, the effect of IPMX will not be just like other AV over IP solutions, only bigger. It will be transformative.
Sound & Communications’ Editor, Dan Ferrisi, wanted to know more about the latest developments with the IPMX protocol, which AIMS champions. He also wanted to get all the details about AIMS TechFest 2021, which is taking place March 9 and 10. So, Dan spoke to AIMS’ Pro AV Working Group Chair, David Chiappini, earlier this week to bring all of us up to speed.
