From broadcasters to Pro AV, it’s been a long journey for IPMX.
Offering support for multiple codecs, and a cheaper option than SMPTE ST 2110, IPMX is becoming more prevalent within the media industry. TVBEurope talks to PlexusAV’s Aaron Doughten and Steven Cogels to get the lowdown on the new standard.
The SMPTE ST 2110 standard was purpose-built to help migrate from SDI to IP and was designed to sustain performance at scale.
Steven Cogel talks about how PlexusAV is bringing a change to the world of AV over with IPMX and an open standards-based approach to technology.
Vendors plan to exhibit a wide variety of solutions for venue live sound.
Robb Moodey discusses trends, products, and what to expect at the Matrox Video booth in Orlando.
InfoComm 2023 was a smashing success, and AIMS was there to host a live interoperability demonstration of the Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX™) standard. Several AIMS members including Barco, Macnica, Matrox, Megapixel-VR, and Plexus AV provided their own demonstrations of IPMX products at the show and gave 15-minute presentations on a variety of IPMX-related topics. Offered in a mini-theater in AIMS’ booth, seven different introductory, intermediate, and advanced sessions were available — covering everything from an introduction to IPMX to gateways between IPMX and other media protocols.
AIMS also highlighted the initial drafts of the Video Services Forum’s (VSF) TR-10 suite of Technical Recommendations for IPMX, which has recently been made available to the public, as highlighted by TV Tech in a new article here. A representative was available at AIMS’ booth for in-depth discussions on these documents.
In other news, AV Magazine has published “IPMX Demystified With Short Answers to Tough Questions.” In the new article, PlexusAV’s Steven Cogels, global director of business development, and Aaron Doughten, director of technology and marketing, explain why IPMX should be used instead of an existing standard or gateway product, and why design by committee is an advantage. In addition, AVNetwork recently published Andrew Stark’s article “Deep Dive: Do You Know the Difference Between IPMX and SMPTE ST 2110 (and AES67)?” For a thorough and interesting explanation, give it a read.
BOTHELL, Wash. — June 12, 2023 — The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) today announced its presentation schedule for InfoComm 2023, taking place June 14-16 in Orlando, Florida. Held in a minitheater in Booth 4181, the daily series of live, 15-minute presentations will be delivered by AIMS members and cover a variety of topics related to Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX™) — a set of open standard-based protocols designed to ensure interoperability for AV-over-IP systems in the media, entertainment, and Pro AV industries.
“AIMS is committed to utilizing prominent industry events as a platform for educating attendees about the immense potential of IP media solutions,” said Samuel Recine, chair of the Pro AV Working Group at AIMS. “With the stage set for IPMX to become the core of new IP infrastructure deployments throughout the Pro AV industry, it’s more important than ever for integrators, manufacturers, and other stakeholders to become familiar with the standards, and our booth at InfoComm 2023 offers them the perfect opportunity to do so.”
At InfoComm 2023, AIMS will be hosting eight different presentations — covering everything from an introduction to IPMX to gateways between IPMX and other media protocols — with each 15-minute session being offered multiple times throughout the event. The complete presentation list is below:

As IPMX moves closer to ratification, Macnica takes orders from IPMX product developers and unleashes new tools to lower latency, reduce CPU loads for bandwidth-intensive applications.
AIMS will also highlight the recently released initial drafts of the Video Services Forum’s (VSF) TR-10 suite of Technical Recommendations for IPMX which are available for download.
