By joining the AIMS initiative, we intend to further support the broadcast industry in establishing and adopting new standards and fostering innovation and efficiency.

Standardization and interoperability have never been so vital to the broadcast industry. said Steven Soenens, Product Marketing Director, This industry is at the verge of transitioning to digital workflows, running on a mixture of SDI, all-IP and virtualized infrastructures. End-to-end broadcast operation and automation rely on a system that can monitor and orchestrate an entire infrastructure without limitations. The DataMiner multi-vendor platform is already integrated with solutions from more than 500 different vendors, including most of the AIMS members. By joining the alliance, we wish to further support the simplification, automation and innovation of today's broadcast operations.
