Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) - An Audio Perspective

From AES67 to Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX). With the adoption of AES67 comes the need for networked professional AV standards. In this article, Andrew Starks, AIMS Marketing Workgroup Chair and Director of Product Management at Macnica, offers an audio perspective about the Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) Initiative and specifications, discussing the specific implications of dealing with asynchronous sources.

Magewell is extending its media processing and IP workflow expertise into the audio domain with the introduction of its Pro Convert AES67 multi-format IP audio encoder, decoder, and capture device. Supporting standards and protocols including AES67, NDI, and SRT, the device can flexibly convert between different IP media technologies while also offering a seamless bridge between analog audio, software, and IP networks. Perfect for web streaming applications.

It's good to see radio technology evolving consistently in the audio-over-IP age and companies offering ever more affordable and complete solutions. AoIP pioneers Axia, part of the Telos group of companies, launched its new iQx AoIP console, and it's a beauty with all the right tools. It looks like a traditional console, but it’s actually a surface and mix engine rolled into one. And Axia dove deep with the AES67 interoperability standard, giving users access to every source, anywhere on the network with nearly limitless connection possibilities.
