Utah Scientific and Dejero have joined the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS).
AIMS is an independent industry trade association with a mandate to bring IP solutions to the market that will offer complete interoperability, are based on open standards, and integrate seamlessly into media workflow environments while fostering industry innovation and efficiency. The group's efforts are focused on promoting the adoption, standardisation, development, and refinement of open protocols for IP-based media.
"Utah Scientific has been working to support IP in the industry for a number of years already, releasing the industry's first IP switch designed specifically for the demands of broadcast back in 2007," said Tom Harmon, president and CEO, Utah Scientific.
"And as a company that's been serving the industry for 40 years, we know the problems that customers can encounter when we as manufacturers don't embrace standards and work together toward interoperability in the transition to the next technology. We support the work of the AIMS organization and look forward to participating in the decisions that will shape the future of IP in broadcast."
“Dejero has always advocated for and is a firm believer in the adoption of open standards,” added Dejero CEO Brian Cram. “We are excited to join with like-minded technology leaders that also believe in interoperability and open APIs to help accelerate the transition to IP and cloud technologies.”
Members of the AIMS consortium have most recently been working with the European Broadcast Union (EBU) and Belgium public broadcaster VRT on a project to develop an IP-based live TV production studio.
