In the past month, AIMS has found a variety of ways to continue spreading information and sharing resources related to the industry’s migration to IP. Perhaps the most notable of these efforts was the second AIMS IP Oktoberfest 2021, a virtual event held from Sept. 28-30.

IP Oktoberfest 2021 accomplished many things at once, effectively using a dynamic virtual platform to provide convenient access to expert perspectives on adoption of IP-based media workflows. Offering in-depth presentations and discussions on topics including IPMX, Audio/NMOS, PTP, and media networking, IP Oktoberfest 2021 drew impressive participation by broadcast and Pro AV professionals. In addition to providing an update on progress towards an all-IP ecosystem for media production, presenters delivered valuable practical information designed to support participants’ planning and implementation of an IP transition within their own organizations.

“We are thrilled with this year’s event and proud of the exceptional program and presentations delivered by a truly impressive array of industry experts,” said Mike Cronk, AIMS chairman of the board. “This virtual gathering has quickly evolved into a vital part of AIMS’ educational work and our mission of supporting the broadcast and Pro AV industries in their migration to IP.”

To make these resources even more broadly available, AIMS has posted video from IP Oktoberfest 2021 sessions on the AIMS website. Video presentations from the virtual event are now available for on-demand viewing here.

AIMS was also at InfoComm to share information about IPMX with the broader Pro AV community. Visitors to the Macnica booth at InfoComm found an IPMX resource area with all the latest details about the emerging AV-over-IP open standard for Pro AV. The Macnica team shared AIMS information on IPMX and how it is adapted specifically for Pro AV needs, building on an established broadcast standard with the addition of HDCP copy protection, network discovery and registration, and I/O management.
