The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS), together with the Video Services Forum (VSF) and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), has announced the second IPMX Product Testing and Certification Event, scheduled for August 24-28 at the EBU’s headquarters in Geneva. The week-long event is open to AIMS and VSF member companies and will expand the IPMX-certified product ecosystem while introducing formal certification of new capabilities developed as part of the IPMX roadmap.
The Geneva event follows a members-only interoperability session scheduled for July 20-24 at the Matrox Video facility in Montreal, giving AIMS participants hands-on testing of new IPMX developments ahead of formal certification. The August event will introduce certification for capabilities including the Host Key Exchange Protocol (HKEP) and HDCP handling for protected content, and the Privacy Encryption Protocol (PEP) security layer, which enables interoperable content encryption across multi-vendor deployments. HEVC and AVC compression profiles are also progressing toward certification.
Sam Recine, IPMX Pro AV Working Group Chair at AIMS, said: “The first certification event in January established that IPMX works across vendors at scale. The August event is where we take the next steps, expanding the certified product base and validating the capabilities that integrators and end users have been asking about since certification launched.”
IPMX is a set of open standards designed to bring ST 2110-based media transport and NMOS-based control to a broader range of markets, including pro AV, live events, corporate media and education. The certification programme builds on a certified product base of 48 products from 11 manufacturers introduced at ISE 2026.
