The IP Showcase is returning to the NAB Show later this month and it will focus on how open IP standards are enabling the Pro AV and broadcast industries to bridge deterministic real-time production with increasingly cloud-native and distributed workflows.
At booth W1355, visitors can experience the recently finalised and certified IPMX standard through several demonstrations that highlight interoperability and practical implementation across a range of use cases.
Andrew Starks, an Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) Board of Directors member and Director of Product Management for Macnica, said, “With IPMX finalised and an operational certification programme in place, NAB 2026 marks the shift from roadmap discussions to real-world deployment.
“We’re no longer talking about what the standard could enable — we will be demonstrating a growing, deployable ecosystem that manufacturers and end-users can build around today.
“Part of what makes that possible is IPMX’s ability to bridge accessible AV-over-IP systems and fully deterministic SMPTE ST 2110-class environments, enabling real-world deployments that can start simple, and scale as performance and timing requirements grow, while aligning naturally with cloud and microservices-based architectures.
“And because successful IP workflows depend on both mature standards and a skilled workforce, we’re excited to debut the IPMX Training Series alongside the IP Showcase in Las Vegas.”
The debuting IPMX Training Series is a new educational programme developed by AIMS to help the industry understand and deploy the IPMX open standard. Structured as a three-level curriculum covering foundations, systems design, and advanced networking concepts such as PTP and SMPTE ST 2110, the programme provides a practical path for engineers and integrators building AV-over-IP infrastructures.
Find out more about IPMX at the NAB 2026, which is taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Centre from April 19-22.
