IPMX offers a range of advantages to professional A/V … The excitement around IPMX is everywhere … [IPMX] will be transformative. joined VSF (Feb 2022) joined AIMS (Mar, Aug 2021) [IPMX] will give AV integrators virtually limitless freedom to customize AV-over-IP systems… joined AIMS (June 2020) InfoComm 2022 12 company interop of ST 2110 and IPMX standards-based equipment Referenc System Architecture Guide | April 2017 ❶ ❷ ❸ Live transcoding of ST 2110 uncompressed to ST 2110 JPEG-XS Transmitting and receiving content being used in both ST 2110 and IPMX networks Management System and UX leveraging NMOS and SMPTE standards ❶ ❷ ❸ Equipment for converting between different protocols to/from IPMX ❹ ❺ Uncompressed and compressed IPMX encoding and decoding equipment Gateways ❹ ❺ ❻ ❻ Managed switches running all the uncompressed IPMX media in this demonstration Software and hardware platforms encoding and decoding IPMX in demo JPEG-XS IP provider decoding streams from this demonstration in software ❼ ❽ ❾ Managed switches running all the ST 2110 media in this demonstration ❿ ⓫ Developer platforms receiving and displaying content from other nodes in demo ❼ ❽ ❾ ❿ ⓫ ⓬ ⓬ Directview LED wall processors receiving native IP content from the other partners in the booth Managed switches running all the compressed media in this demonstration AIMS InfoComm 2022 IPMX Demo New (first public showing) IPMX progress items: Transferring ST 2110 (on PTP network) content to IPMX nodes (network with or without PTP) (Example: Stadium/arena content from broadcast room feeding network television + jumbotron, also shared "natively" (no conversion to baseband) with all IPMX stations throughout the stadium/arena (digital signage, private booths, etc.) Opposite: IPMX network content  ST 2110 network nodes (Example: Increasing new experiences in broadcast by bringing "AV" nodes into the broadcast room. For example: cameras in stadium/arena celebrity private lounges available with nearly no latency using native AV to broadcast network compatibility) IPMX hardware and software senders and receivers all sharing content "at performance" More emerging IPMX Pro AV gateways; will be showing IPMX  HDBaseT gateways at InfoComm <1 millisecond glass-to-glass latency live media over IP First real suite of standards and technical recommendations across "multiple" video workflows (Uncompressed and Compressed) Developer platforms (Macnica, Nextera , more …) Processor support (AMD, Intel, etc.) What’s Next?
