Ever since the SMPTE ST 2110 media IP standards began to be published in 2018 after many years of work, there has been an understandable interest in audio circles concerning the overall adoption of the standards group – and the implementation of the AES67 audio-over-IP interoperability standard in particular.
AV-IQ’s comprehensive database of AV product information has now been updated to include the AES67-compliant product list compiled by AIMS.
The AES67 product list has been updated and can be downloaded here
The Audio Engineering Society (AES) PICS Summary repository is now available online. An AES67-2018 Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) documents the capabilities of an AES67 implementation. The AES67 PICS Summary provides a concise, single-page overview of the primary options and interoperability points of a product’s implementation of the standard.

The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) today announced that Silex Insight, a market-leading independent supplier of video IP codec and custom OEM solutions for AV, has become an AIMS member ̶̶ just as AIMS’ new Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) set of open standards and specifications gains traction in the AV industry.
The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) today announced that Silex Insight, a market-leading independent supplier of video IP codec and custom OEM solutions for AV, has become an AIMS member ̶̶ just as AIMS’ new Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) set of open standards and specifications gains traction in the AV industry.
“We’re so pleased that leading AV supplier Silex Insight is now part of AIMS, as the company’s perspective and expertise will inform further work in the migration to AV over IP,” said David Chiappini, chair of the AIMS ProAV Working Group. “IMPX has drawn a great deal of interest since its introduction earlier this year, and we look forward to working with Silex Insight and other AIMS member companies to continue educating the ProAV industry on how IPMX support enables true interoperability.”
Silex Insight provides high-end image/video compression solutions and a custom OEM board (VIPER) for distributing low-latency 4K HDR video over IP. The company’s development team is based at the Silex Insight headquarters near Brussels, Belgium, while local sales and support are handled by branch offices worldwide.
“We’ve been committed for many years to open standards such as SMPTE 2110 and AES67 with our VIPER AVoIP platform” said Jean-Marie Cloquet, chief technology officer of Silex Insight, and he continues, “We’re thrilled to join an alliance that carries the same beliefs to create true interoperability in the AVoIP world.”
IPMX addresses the ProAV industry’s need for a single set of common, ubiquitous standards-based protocols that ensure interoperability for AV over IP. Implementing a standards-based approach based on SMPTE ST 2110, IPMX open standards and specifications are designed to enable carriage of compressed and uncompressed video, audio, and data over IP networks. IPMX features tailored to ProAV installations include AMWA NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 for discovery and registration, as well as connection management and specifications for copy protection and security.
With the IPMX open standards and specifications approach, AIMS presents a flexible, future-proof way to meeting the video, audio, and data requirements of current and future ProAV solutions over IP — a framework for open, easy-to-deploy solutions.
Did you miss AIMS at ISE 2020? No worries! Presentations from the AIMS Theater and AIMS Booth are now available. Click “Read More” below to view the available presentations.
The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) ProAV Working Group have finished 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.
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.

“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.
