With the return to in-person trade shows comes the excitement of witnessing technological advances firsthand. Aurora Multimedia, a company dedicated to changing the topology of AV, participates in many of these events, like the Integrated Systems Europe show in Spain on May 10–13. In this episode of Cutting Through, host Tyler Kern spoke with Aurora’s CEO, Paul Harris, about their new products rolling out this year.

One such product is a new AV over 1G IP solution — a true industry first — that employs a soft version of the technology inside the core engine with no moving parts and no fan. Harris explained, “The most exciting is the VPX. For those that know our products… they know of the IPX, which has our 1G and our 10G, but now VPX puts it right in the middle, but it’s a high-performing product. It is a 4K60 4:4:4 over AV over IP product that uses only eight watts of power.”

Harris also spoke briefly about the DTX and RXT series before disclosing a few teasers of what’s still to come in 2022, like the DIDO series they’re bringing back. Developed almost 20 years ago as the first real-time image rotation engine on the market, DIDO lived for about 12 years before dying because the tech became too difficult to support. To not spoil the fun with all the details, Harris promised “it will be even more amazing than the original generation.”

Another exciting rollout is the ASP 42, but he only divulged two features for that one, including capture capabilities and the ability to plug the devices directly into the computer.

Sony’s BRAVIA Pro displays run VITEC Avedia IPTV with no external media player

Sony’s BRAVIA Pro displays run VITEC Avedia IPTV with no external media player

Sony Electronics and VITEC announced a global integration that lets Sony BRAVIA professional displays run VITEC’s Avedia IPTV and digital signage software natively, eliminating external media players, according to PR Newswire and AV Magazine. Management runs through VITEC’s CMS, and the companies say it can scale to thousands of displays across corporate, hospitality, healthcare, venues, and public facilities, per PR Newswire and invidis. For enterprise IT and facilities teams, the practical shift is a new procurement and governance model: treat “display plus software” as one Android-based endpoint, then manage it like an IT fleet with fewer devices to install but stricter expectations around app lifecycle, security requirements, and vendor roadmaps. The announcement also lands alongside Sony’s previously reported Bravia Inc. joint venture with TCL, which invidis says will move operational control in April 2027, a reminder that longer-running display deployments should track who sets the roadmap over the life of the fleet.

  • 01Player-less IPTV changes the bill of materials: endpoints shift from “screen + player + mounts + power” to a single managed display, which can compress install labor and reduce failure points.
  • 02The phrase “thousands of displays” (PR Newswire) is the right scale test: if the CMS and network design cannot handle a four-digit endpoint count, this architecture won’t match the promise.
  • 03Sony’s display governance is expected to change in 2027 under the TCL-led Bravia Inc. venture (invidis). For deployments that will still be operating then, teams should address it now as part of contract terms.

AIMS adds Bolin Technology and ITDev to advance IPMX implementation

AIMS adds Bolin Technology and ITDev to advance IPMX implementation

Bolin Technology, a PTZ camera maker, and ITDev, an FPGA design firm, have joined the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) to support IPMX and open AV-over-IP interoperability. AIMS leadership says the additions ground IPMX work in real-world implementation, from endpoint hardware to the FPGA IP used in gateways and processing nodes.

  • 01Bolin Technology and ITDev joined AIMS in late August to support IPMX and open AV-over-IP standards.
  • 02Bolin supplies PTZ cameras and AV-over-IP products supporting NDI, Dante AV, and Fast HEVC; ITDev is an Altera and AMD FPGA design services and IP partner for IPMX, SMPTE ST 2110, and video processing.
  • 03The article advises buyers to ask vendors how IPMX support will be provided (native silicon, FPGA, gateway, or software stack) and to make certification and interoperability testing part of acceptance criteria.
