SIPMX Alliance
An open community of companies committed to interoperable media orchestration.
Become a MemberOur Mission
Open Standards
We publish specifications openly. No vendor lock-in, no secret handshakes. Every implementation can interoperate.
Interoperability
Alliance members can connect their products seamlessly. Same protocols, same security model, verified compatibility.
Shared Tools
Open-source reference implementations (librist, libsipmx_transport, SipmxCore.Nucleus) and the DeviceSDK accelerate adoption.
Member Benefits
SIPMX Compatible Badge
Display the "SIPMX Compatible" badge on your products to signal interoperability to customers.
Logo Showcase
Your company logo featured on the Alliance page, linking to your website.
Early Spec Access
Review and provide feedback on draft specifications before public release.
Technical Support
Direct access to engineering support for DeviceSDK integration and protocol questions.
Interop Events
Participate in plugfests and interoperability testing with other Alliance members.
No Membership Fees
Join the Alliance at no cost. We're building an ecosystem, not a paywall.
For Device Manufacturers: The Adoption Path
Whether you build NDI®-compatible cameras, Dante®/AES67 audio devices, SRT™-capable encoders, or IPMX devices — there's a clear path from interoperability to native NMOS support.
External Gateway
For end users — deploy today, zero device changes
Your devices already work. Facilities deploy SipMX Gateway to discover NDI-compatible sources via mDNS, receive AES67 streams from Dante-enabled devices, accept SRT streams from existing encoders, and bridge them all into NMOS workflows — with no firmware changes on any device. Unified routing, monitoring, and WAN contribution today.
Embedded Gateway
For manufacturers — ship NMOS bridging inside your appliance
Bundle SipMX Gateway (with the DeviceSDK built in) directly inside your product. Your appliance ships with NMOS bridging out of the box — your customers don't need a separate gateway. The embedded gateway handles protocol translation internally and registers as a full NMOS node. Cross-compilable C/C++ binary, runs on x86_64 and ARM64. No firmware rewrite required.
Native DeviceSDK
For manufacturers — deepest integration, lowest latency
Integrate the SipMX DeviceSDK directly into your firmware (~20 lines of code). Your device feeds media directly via UDP to the SDK — if it already supports any streaming protocol, it already has UDP. The SDK provides the full NMOS control plane (IS-04 discovery, IS-05 connection management, BCP-008-01 health monitoring), built-in RIST and SRT transport via libsipmx_transport — including decoder synchronization, satellite redundancy, multipath bonding, and content selection. Far lower overhead than the embedded gateway.
SIPMX Certification
Premium positioning in the ecosystem
Pass SIPMX compliance testing and get listed in the certified device directory. Full interoperability with all SIPMX workflows: crosspoint routing, multi-site federation, WAN transport, and enterprise security. Available for both embedded gateway and native DeviceSDK integrations.
NDI® Device Manufacturers
With gateway (stages 1–2): Your NDI transport stays — the gateway handles translation. Your cameras gain NMOS manageability: IS-04 discovery, IS-05 routing, BCP-008-01 monitoring, IS-11 capabilities. With native DeviceSDK (stage 3): NDI is out of the picture — your device feeds media directly via UDP into the NMOS ecosystem for the lowest latency and deepest integration.
Dante®/AES67 Device Manufacturers
With gateway (stages 1–2): Your AES67 audio transport stays — the gateway handles translation. Your devices gain unified video + audio management: IS-04 discovery alongside cameras, IS-08 channel mapping, IS-07 tally integration. With native DeviceSDK (stage 3): Dante/AES67 is out of the picture — your device feeds audio directly via UDP for the lowest latency.
SRT™ Device Manufacturers
With gateway (stages 1–2): Your SRT transport stays — the gateway handles full translation. Your encoders and decoders gain NMOS discovery: IS-04 visibility, IS-05 routing, BCP-008-01 monitoring, RIST WAN transport. With native DeviceSDK (stage 3): Your device feeds media directly via UDP to the SDK (if you have SRT, you have UDP). Built-in RIST and SRT transport via libsipmx_transport — including decoder synchronization, satellite redundancy, and multipath bonding — far lower overhead than the full gateway.
