Part of the benefit of open standards is that they enable multi-vendor interoperability. However, in a world as big and diverse as ours, it’s impossible to find one AV-over-IP technology that can work for every use case and affordably fit in every product that we might want to create. Organizing requirements into profiles is an excellent way to meet the needs of a broad market while keeping things simple and efficient. Developing clear and effective compatibility profiles within IPMX will have a significant impact on the future of the standard.
