FOR-A becomes the newest member of the ASPEN Community

The ASPEN Community is a rapidly growing coalition of industry leading manufacturers and end-users who are adopting the ASPEN framework for building state of the art IP facilities.

The development of ASPEN – a framework that provides separated video, audio, and metadata on individual IP multicast streams – has been a collaborative effort between many broadcast industry leaders. The ASPEN Community was founded at IBC 2015 to realise and promote the benefits of deploying the ASPEN format within IP-based broadcast and media facilities through the integration and interoperability of the open format.

“We are very pleased to have FOR-A as the latest member of the ASPEN Community. With transition from SDI to IP as a major initiative in the industry, the ASPEN Community is providing the leadership for a common open framework for building IP facilities. FOR-A provides valuable experience in the production aspect of the broadcast chain that will help with the transition to IP,” says Mo Goyal, co-chairperson of the ASPEN Community.
