AIMS is an industry consortium dedicated to an open-standards approach that moves broadcast and media companies quickly and profitably from legacy systems to a virtualized, IP-based environment. In supporting this migration to IP, AIMS builds on the efforts of leading standards bodies to provide a clear technology roadmap that addresses the broadcast and ProAV markets’ technical and business needs.
“We stand behind the work that SMPTE, the IEEE and other leaders are doing to ensure that the standards and recommendations guiding our industry are built on inclusive language,” said Andreas Hilmer, AIMS chief financial officer. “Words have power, and it makes a difference when we employ more conscious, respectful use of language across not just standards documents, but communications of any kind. It’s a small but nevertheless significant step in the right direction.”
