AIMS Members To Participate In SMPTE Conference

A total of 21 AIMS members will participate in a SMPTE ST 2110 interoperability demonstration to show how to enable the move to all-IP workflows, at the upcoming SMPTE 2017 Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition (SMPTE 2017). The event takes place in Hollywood, California, 23 to 26 October.

AIMS members are among approximately 30 vendors that have built solutions for the new SMPTE ST 2110 standard on display at the conference. This event will feature a demonstration booth and a presentation area that explains the standard and what it takes to deploy all-IP solutions. The IP Showcase will be located in the Centennial Exhibit Hall beginning 23 October, where vendors will show attendees that carrying video, audio, and data over IP networks is achievable thanks to the SMPTE ST 2110 standard.

AIMS is sponsoring the IP Showcase at SMPTE 2017 on behalf of the eight IP Showcase partners: AES, AIMS, AMWA, EBU, IABM, Media Networking Alliance, SMPTE, and VSF. The IP Showcase Theater, where IP Showcase partners will give presentations on IP installations or IP technology based on and in support of the AIMS roadmap, will be underwritten by the IABM in cooperation with SMPTE.

Mike Cronk, AIMS Board Chair, said: "The approval of SMPTE ST 2110-10/20/30 last month, coupled with the speed in which the vendor community has been able to implement and demonstrate interoperability, is creating real momentum behind the move to all-IP workflows. At SMPTE 2017, attendees will see how far we have come since AIMS began its mission in late 2015 to foster the adoption of one set of common, ubiquitous, standards-based protocols for interoperability over IP in the media and entertainment industry. The number of vendors supporting SMPTE ST 2110 underscores the commitment to this standard as the go-forward replacement for SDI."
