The IPMX standard comes to life in the Cobalt portfolio

Varias de las soluciones de Cobalt Digital han superado con éxito la certificación de compatibilidad con IPMX (Internet Protocol Media Experience), un protocolo abierto desarrollado por AIMS along with VSF, CLOTHING y UER que busca añadir nuevas posibilidades al transporte de medios basado en ST 2110.

El evento de pruebas y certificación de productos IPMX se celebró del 19 al 23 de enero de 2026 en la sede de la UER en Ginebra, Suiza, y supuso un hito importante en la transición de IPMX de una especificación en desarrollo a una tecnología certificable y desplegable. Durante la cita, fabricantes como Cobalt had the opportunity to formally validate products manufactured according to specifications IPMX for professional media over IP.

Cobalt Digital products that have achieved IPMX certification include several members of its processor family Topaz, encoders/decoders Pacific, walkways Indigo ST 2110, mini converters Sapphire, multivisores UltraBlue MV-SW and the Aria AUD-MON, the “only IPMX-compatible audio monitor in the industry.” This achievement, Cobalt itself points out, ratifies the brand's role as “pioneer in open standards”, as well as “underscores its commitment to interoperability as professional broadcast and audiovisual technologies continue to converge.”

In the words of Suzanne Brady, Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing: "Cobalt Digital is extremely proud to be one of the first companies to achieve IPMX product certification and to help lead this important initiative. IPMX is essential to enabling a truly interoperable and scalable IP media ecosystem, and our newly certified products demonstrate that we are ready to deliver on that promise."

Developed by the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) in collaboration with the Video Services Forum (VSF), the Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA) and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), IPMX is a set of open standards and specifications designed to extend ST 2110-based media transport and NMOS-based control to a broader range of markets, including Pro AV, live events, corporate media, and education. The IPMX program is intended to ensure that certified products offer reliable interoperability, predictable behavior, and compliance with the published TR-10 series of specifications.
