A universal standard for AV-over-IP deployment could be the greatest gift the broadcast industry can give to its cousins in AV. The only issue is which one, says Paul Bray.
AIMS is hosting the virtual event in partnership with the Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA) and the Video Services Forum (VSF), with live daily sessions scheduled from 10:00 to 13:00 EDT (15:00 to 18:00 BST/16:00 to 19:00 CET) on each day.
The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) has revealed the presentations confirmed for AIMS TechFest 2021 Presents IP Showcase.
The streaming market is defined by technology, but as tech advances, it becomes more and more transparent to the user as it not only better facilitates delivery of media, but also makes the user experience better.
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.
In a continuation of its long-term emphasis on education around IP audio standards, the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) held an online TechFest on 9-10 March which addressed both current standards initiatives and the implementation of IP-based remote audio production in a “changing landscape” for media delivery.
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 global engineering and electronics company Huawei has joined the alliance as a full member. A major player in the world’s digital transformation, Huawei is a leading provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure platforms and smart devices.
“As a nonprofit trade alliance, AIMS plays a critical role in promoting open, virtualized, IP-based standards and multivendor interoperability in the broadcast and media industries,” said Jeffrey Gao, president of the router and carrier Ethernet (CE) product line at Huawei. “As a global ICT solution provider, Huawei fully recognizes the huge potential of the IP-based transformation of production and broadcasting systems. We’re ready to work with AIMS members to promote the application of IP-based standards and accelerate their acceptance in the industry.”
Huawei’s Enterprise Business Group uses its technological strengths in cloud computing, big data, the internet of things, and artificial intelligence to provide open, flexible, and secure ICT infrastructure platforms that promote greater synergy between devices, networks, and the cloud. Huawei has collaborated with Hunan Broadcasting System and other partners on digital media solutions that meet broadcasters’ 4K/8K service requirements and have worked together to implement lossless, IP-based 4K production.
“Reaching the milestones on the AIMS roadmap requires a strong collected effort from dedicated manufacturers, users, trade groups, and allied organizations across the media industry,” said Michael Cronk, AIMS board chair. “Every new member brings critical new insight and expertise to the effort and takes us one step further down the road to standards-based IP transport for professional media.”
