Barco becomes a member of AIMS

Barco is now a member of the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS). With AIMS’ new Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) set of open standards and specifications said to be gaining traction in the Pro AV industry, the Barco membership ties in with the company’s perspective and roadmap in terms of AV-over-IP solutions. Barco and AIMS are said to share the same vision on IPMX being the only open standard that eventually replaces the many different proprietary protocols.

“Built on the collaborative effort of hundreds of leading companies, the IMPX open standard is designed to be the technology that manufacturers, integrators, and end-users need to achieve truly engaging IP media experiences,” said Samuel Recine, chair of the AIMS Pro AV Working Group. “We’re so pleased to welcome a key member such as Barco to the alliance and get their support in the industry’s migration to AV-over-IP.”

As the new associate of the Alliance for IP Media Solutions, Barco has agreed to work together in educating the industry on the benefits of the IPMX open standards and fostering its adoption. “At Barco, we’ve been committed for many years to the early adoption of open signal standards to enable interoperability in our products and greater operational flexibility for our image processing end-users,” said Robbie Bruce, image processing product management director at Barco.
