Company bolsters position in helping broadcast and media industry to transition from SDI to IP

Stockholm, Sweden - Net Insight, the leading provider of live, interactive and on-demand media transport, today announces its membership to the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS), an independent media and entertainment trade association formed to promote the adoption of standards to facilitate the broadcast and media industry's transition from SDI to IP.

The AIMS Alliance is a not-for-profit organization made up of broadcast and media industry suppliers driving the adoption, standardization and development of open standards that facilitate a transition from SDI to IP through education, awareness and the promotion of solutions that support those open standards.

AIMS is also chartered to work with organizations, such as the Video Services Forum (VSF), the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), to advance new standards by providing support and testing in real-world environments. 

"Today we are actively working with our customers on their transition from SDI to IP, and share the view of AIMS that open and interoperable standards are crucial for this technology shift," says Martin Karlsson, CTO & vice president, product portfolio at Net Insight. "We see great value in broad industry collaboration and are already members of VSF, SMPTE, MEF and ETSI. We believe that AIMS will be a key driver in the transition to IP, and we look forward to collaborating with the other members of the alliance."
