Magewell becomes newest AIMS member

The company joins AIMS as adoption of SMPTE ST 2110 continues to accelerate in the broadcast market and the alliance's new Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) set of open standards and specifications gains momentum in the Pro AV industry

The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) has announced Magewell, a designer and developer of hardware and software solutions for media capture, conversion, and streaming, as its newest member.

The company joins AIMS as adoption of SMPTE ST 2110 continues to accelerate in the broadcast market and the alliance’s new Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) set of open standards and specifications gains momentum in the Pro AV industry.

“Increasing AIMS participation by leaders such as Magewell signals a growing understanding of the value that IP brings to both the broadcast/production and Pro AV markets,” said David Chiappini, chair of the AIMS Pro AV Working Group. “We’re pleased to welcome Magewell to the alliance and our work to educate and support the industry as it migrates to IP.”

“One of our key strategic initiatives is making the transition to IP workflows practical and affordable for our customers,” said Nick Ma, CEO and CTO of Magewell. “We are committed to helping our customers leverage open standards, including SMPTE ST 2110, to achieve these objectives, and joining AIMS is an important milestone in this mission. AIMS’ recent introduction of the IPMX specifications for AV over IP further reinforces AIMS’ alignment with our goals, as we develop products for both the broadcast and professional AV markets. We look forward to working with the alliance and other AIMS members.”

IPMX addresses the 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 proposed open standards and specifications are designed to enable carriage of compressed and uncompressed video, audio, and data over IP networks. IPMX features tailored to Pro AV 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.
