The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS), together with the Video Services Forum (VSF), the Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA) and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), have announced that the first official IPMX product testing and certification event.
A milestone for the IPMX initiative, the event will take place January 19–23,
2026, at the EBU headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
For the first time, manufacturers will
have the opportunity to complete formal certification of products built to the IPMX set
of specifications for professional media over IP. Certified products will qualify to carry the
IPMX branding, signaling compliance with a rigorously verified set of transport and interoperability
requirements.
Over the past year, AIMS, VSF, and AMWA have overseen a series of
technical preparation sessions, plug fests and test-suite development activities that established the foundation for
this certification program. The January 2026 event is the culmination of that work and
represents the transition of IPMX from a developing specification to a certifiable and deployable technology.
