February 14, 2024
The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) has announced its newest members: NovaStar, an LED display solutions provider; CUX, a provider of audio, video, and environmental control solutions; and Appear, a specialist in high-capacity solutions for media processing and content delivery.
“We couldn’t be more excited to name NovaStar, CUX, and Appear as the newest AIMS members,” said Andrew Starks, board of directors’ member and marketing working group chair for AIMS. “With NovaStar and CUX’s deep-rooted experience in AV-over-IP for the Pro AV industry and Appear’s specialised knowledge in broadcast IP media transport, all three companies will be instrumental in helping us propel IPMX adoption in these sectors and unlock new market possibilities.”
“Our solutions are widely implemented across a variety of Pro AV environments, where the transition to video-over-IP as the dominating infrastructure is well under way,” said Jason Xiao, director of product development of NovaStar. “With AIMS’ IPMX poised to be at the centre of that infrastructure, the timing is perfect for NovaStar to become part of the alliance. We’re thrilled to contribute to a standard that will advance the whole industry through increased interoperability.”
“Through our work supporting system integrators, we’ve gained a deep understanding of the interoperability hurdles that have plagued the Pro AV industry,” said Keven Pang, executive director of CUX. “We couldn’t be more excited for the arrival of IPMX as a solution to these challenges and look forward to collaborating with AIMS and its members to champion its adoption.”
“We’ve maintained a leading position in industry innovation through active partnerships with esteemed trade organisations and technology providers, with the goal of achieving seamless and secure media transport. We are thrilled to include AIMS among them,” said Andy Rayner, chief technology officer of Appear. “As the boundaries between broadcast and Pro AV increasingly blur across various applications, we’re eager to work with the organisation to advance IPMX and bring interoperability to both domains.”
