As it ramps up its activities, the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) has announced three more broadcast and media technology members: 5280 Broadcast, AJA Video Systems and Harmonic.



The alliance of broadcast and media industry suppliers was formed to promote open standards and interoperability in the transition to IP.

Systems integrator 5280 Broadcast works with broadcast and cable facilities, supporting their production and post production facility design and construction, from cable and infrastructure installation, to media quality control and monitoring systems and complete turnkey installation and project management services.

Grass Valley, California-based AJA Video Systems employs more than 200 people worldwide, manufacturing video capture cards, digital recording devices, video routers, frame synchronisers and scalers, digital converters and professional 4K cameras.

And, Harmonic has also joined the alliance. The US company provides broadcasters, service providers and other media companies with emerging video capabilities like HEVC and Ultra HD video, for the processing and delivery of over-the-top (OTT) live and on-demand content, and pay-TV.
