The Video Services Forum (VSF), in collaboration with the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) have announced what’s described as a significant milestone in the development of the Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) standards.
A number of essential IPMX documents — encompassing critical aspects of audio and video transport, HDCP, control plane requirements, and system timing — have now moved from draft to finalised specifications.
Several key IPMX specifications have also been released, including documents for Uncompressed Video (TR-10-2), Constant Bit Rate (CBR) Video (TR-10-11), PCM Audio (TR-10-3), System Timing and Definitions (TR-10-1), HDCP Key Exchange Protocol (HKEP) Copy Protection (TR-10-5), and NMOS requirements specific to IPMX (TR-10-8).
Brad Gilmer, executive director of VSF, said: “We’ve been witnessing the industry trend towards more convergence, which means removing unnecessary legacy barriers between not only IT and video production, but also between broadcast and the Pro AV market.
“That is why we started work on IPMX immediately after AIMS launched the initiative in 2020. The release of these documents is a big milestone not only for IPMX, but also for VSF as our work to evolve to meet the needs of a more diverse and interconnected world is clearly bearing fruit.”
More details about the finalised documents are available here.
