The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) will highlight the global broadcast and pro AV market’s increasing adoption of Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) – a set of open standards-based protocols designed to ensure interoperability for AV-over-IP systems – at ISE 2025.
With the standard nearing completion, the stage is set for it to make a big impact in Barcelona. In booth 5F600, AIMS will demonstrate a variety of IPMX-compatible solutions, including an NMOS controller; AES67 speaker; Dante-to-IP adapter; KVM, SDM, and multiviewer displays; IP-to-IP converter; and receiver software.
To complement the IPMX-compatible solutions being highlighted at ISE 2025, the standard will also be featured in several partner kiosks in the AIMS booth, including Cobalt Digital, Macnica, IntoPix, Meinberg, Nexterra, and PlexusAV.
The kiosks are a first for AIMS at the show, with member companies hosting demonstrations of IPMX-based systems. This will include a wide range of scenarios including the interoperability of the IPMX standard with ST-2110, AES67, JPEG XS, Dante, and much more.
Andrew Starks, board of directors member and marketing working group chair for AIMS, said: “The core IPMX specifications and standards are complete, providing a solid foundation for interoperable AV-over-IP solutions. The work now moves to guiding the industry through the processes, testing events, and supporting documents needed to bring IPMX to market at scale. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of manufacturers and organisations, 2025 is set to be a breakthrough year for open-standards-based AV-over-IP.”
Created by AIMS in collaboration with VSF and AMWA, IPMX implements a standards-based approach based on SMPTE ST 2110, with features and capabilities that target the specific needs of the broadcast and pro AV industries.
In addition to simplifying the implementation of SMPTE ST 2110 and ensuring interoperability for AV-over-IP systems, IPMX incorporates core features tailored to pro AV installations. These features include asynchronous audio and video support suitable for both live production and pro AV presentations, 4K60 transmission over a single gigabit network, and HDCP for content security.
IPMX also includes a control layer provided by AMWA’s NMOS specifications, which enhances device interoperability and eases the dependency on a myriad of proprietary control system protocols.
