AIMS to host in-depth IPMX training sessions at 2025 NAB Show

The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) invites attendees of the 2025 NAB Show to join “IPMX Training: The Essentials,” an exclusive, in-depth training session focused on IPMX, the emerging open standard for AV-over-IP based on SMPTE ST 2110 and AMWA NMOS. Taking place on Tuesday, April 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall, Room W317, this free-to-attend session will deliver practical, real-world knowledge for anyone working with media-over-IP technology

ESPN and Game Creek Video’s New ‘Once-in-a-Generation’ Mobile Unit Is Capable of Native UHD HDR at Super Bowl Scale

Super Bowl LXI may still be two years away, but ESPN is already ringing in its first Super Bowl season with a new state-of-the-art mobile unit from Game Creek Video. Dubbed Flagship, the three-truck SMPTE ST 2110 facility was designed specifically to produce a Super Bowl–level show in UHD HDR and will serve as home to ESPN’s NBA A-game and Monday Night Football shows prior to Super Bowl LXI on ABC/ESPN in February 2027.

Seamless SMPTE 2110: A Discussion on Making the Move to IP Less Painful

In this exclusive panel discussion, video engineers and producers discuss the topics relevant to those who are looking to transition to or optimize their current systems using SMPTE 2110 standards.

IP Showcase To Focus On IP, Broadcast Tech Convergence at 2025 NAB Show

As broadcasters and AV professionals increasingly rely on shared IP-based infrastructures, IPMX provides an open-standards-based technology that enables seamless interoperability, high performance and scalability across diverse applications. With NAB’s growing focus on Pro AV, this year’s show offers the perfect platform to demonstrate how IPMX is driving innovation, breaking down barriers, and unifying the way we create, distribute and experience content.

What Integrators Need to Know About IPMX

IPMX delivers a non-proprietary standard for pro AV video solutions, enabling interoperability between manufacturers and offering the freedom to mix and match products like encoders and decoders.
Its flexibility supports diverse workflows, including HDMI-based presentation systems and live production environments, making it a versatile solution for varied customer needs.
By reducing technical barriers, IPMX empowers AV integrators to focus less on bridging technology gaps and more on delivering creative, scalable solutions.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium Overhauls Production Ecosystem With Upgraded Control Rooms, New Integrated Workflows

Among professional-sports venues, Mercedes-Benz Stadium is one of the busiest in the country. After providing world-class experiences for seven years, its in-house production space needed a refresh to keep up with the year-long schedule. Implemented in three phases during 2024, new SMPTE 2110–powered control rooms have upgraded production quality in Atlanta.

ISE 2025: A Look Into AIMS Member Kiosks

“The partner kiosks offer ISE attendees in-person demonstrations of the rapid advancement of the standard, and its ease of implementation across multiple technologies and verticals. Thanks to the collaboration of these member companies, ISE 2025 will be a feast of information and practical application of the open-standard for AV-over-IP.”

VidTrans 2025 to Focus on Security, Dynamic Media Production

Video Services Forum (VSF) today announced that the VidTrans 2025 conference and exposition will take place Feb. 25-27 at the Marina del Rey Marriott in Marina del Rey, Calif. The 2025 event will address security in media production, evolving live media cloud connectivity, IPMX, and other cutting-edge technologies.

ISE 2025: AIMS to Reveal Whirlwind of IPMX Activity

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.

Spotlight on the sports: Production trends that shaped 2024, according to AJA

2024 may just go down as the year of SMPTE ST 2110. Enabling sports broadcasters to move uncompressed video, audio, and metadata over dedicated IP networks with low latency, the set of IP standards drew new attention from broadcasters and production facilities alike in 2024. More broadcasters and production teams embraced the technology, often in an IP sandbox, or hybrid SDI/IP environment, to seamlessly deliver uncompressed 4K/UltraHD HDR video across productions.

IP adoption: Reflections and projections

SMPTE ST 2110 exploded in 2020 and over subsequent years became the core of many new IP infrastructure projects. IPMX is heading in the same direction, and 2023 is going to be the year where we see more projects adopting the standard as their foundation. You’re going to see some bigger rollouts and higher profile installations, and then it will really take off in late 2023 and early 2024. So, stay tuned — it’s going to be an exciting year.

The role of standards in the hybrid era

It’s clear that standards are crucial when building any system based on interoperable functions between different manufacturers’ equipment, and two industry standards have been developed to advance the adoption of IP deployment: SMPTE 2110 – the set of SMPTE standards for the transport of digital media over an IP network – and the NMOS (Networked Media Open Specifications) suite of specifications, which also ensures easy device connection management on a network, something fraught with multiple perils that were never envisaged by the builders of SDI networks in the past.

SMPTE ST 2110: A Vibrant Six-Year-Old

One major way that ST 2110 technology is being expanded to support new applications is in the development of IPMX (Internet Protocol Media eXperience). The goal of this development is to help reduce the cost of ST 2110 technology for applications that may not require its full range of capabilities. Another goal is to produce the first truly open, license-free IP video specification for the ProAV market (in contrast with NDI, SDVoE and HDBaseT).

SVG Sit-Down: NVIDIA’s Jamie Allan on the Transition to ST 2110, What’s Next for AI, AR, and the Cloud

The next-generation IP broadcast workflow at the Dell booth focused on how to simplify the adoption of SMPTE ST 2110 standards for the broadcast industry. NVIDIA and Dell teamed up to showcase IP-based content-creation capabilities and deployment of AI in the broadcast pipeline from workstation to the edge. At the RED booth, NVIDIA networking technologies (Rivermax, ConnectX, NVIDIA BlueField DPU, NVIDIA RTX GPU) enabled real-time 8K raw video over ST 2110. In this demo, NVIDIA and RED showcased a direct connection that allows cinema-quality RED V-RAPTOR 8K content to feed into an IP broadcast-production workflow.

The Future Is Now With IP-Based Production

If you work for a broadcaster, you know that distribution over IP is supplanting SDI as the best practice, both for in-studio and remote activities. IP is simply the “better mousetrap,” with more flexibility than SDI, at costs that are no greater and often less. One of the interesting benefits of working in an IP production environment is that it is better understood by corporate IT departments than the traditional way of working in an SDI “island” that is strictly the concern of the television engineering staff. At a time when skilled broadcast engineers are retiring in great numbers, the transition to IP production infrastructures could not have come at a better time.

Divided they stand

Compared to the broadcast industry, pro AV can still seem like the Wild West, but it is being civilised (if that’s the right word) by contact with the world of broadcast. “It’s the proven broadcast transport standards in SMPTE ST 2110 that pro AV is primed to build upon with the IPMX standard,” says Miller. “Interoperability is key on an AV-over-IP network where all kinds of devices communicate on a common platform.”
