At ISE 2026, Macnica are debuting a production-ready version of its ME10 System-On-Chip for product developers ready to build IPMX-compliant products.
At ISE 2026, Macnica are showing a production-ready version of the company's ME10 System-On-Chip (SoC) for product developers ready to build IPMX-compliant products at scale with a straightforward procedure. With higher performance enabled through a new Machine-to-Machine (M2M) interface, the ME10 is a complete, interoperable, standards-based AV over IP method of integration into low-power, high-efficiency embedded devices.
The ME10 SoC is a 4K AV over 1GbE integrated SoC that is purpose-built for high-volume IP product developers building lower-cost, drop-in replacements for existing proprietary solutions. Advantages include its standards-based design focussed on IPMX and interoperable ST 2110/IPMX workflows, and small 23×23 mm footprint for tight industrial and OEM designs. It can also transport HDMI 2.0 4K 4:4:4 video, audio and control over a 1 GbE connection on standard networks.
The ME10’s Machine-to-Machine interface comes with a simple REST API with HTTP control (transferring information between networked devices) that eases integration with host processors, thereby reducing time to market. For product developers, the M2M interface avoids the need to work directly with complex FPGAs, which often extends time to market due to lengthy development cycles.
Built for scale, the ME10 supports low power operation in preparation for high-volume manufacturing. “Macnica has developed the ME10 as an all-in-one SoC solution that moves new IPMX products to market very quickly,” said Andrew Starks, Director of Product Management, Macnica Americas. “The ME10 addresses the numerous challenges of making AV over IP work in an open-standards manner that supports immediate interoperability with other vendors and implementations.”
Audio is handled as an independent media flow, consistent with IPMX architecture. The ME10 supports linear PCM audio sourced from the HDMI interface. This means audio can be routed and managed independently of video at the system level, but remaining tightly synchronized
where needed.
The ME10 is able to achieve sub-frame latency in the most commonly used configurations in order to support workflows involving manual intervention that rely on predictable, responsive behaviour. Also, the ME10 includes hardware-accelerated JPEG-XS compression integrated on the SoC, supporting the IPMX JPEG-XS Video Profile.
Macnica is demonstrating the ME10’s performance within an IPMX stack, including subframe latency, resilient network performance and device discovery and registration. The ME10 will soon be available as part of an updated, dedicated development kit intended to simplify evaluation and integration for product designers.
“IPMX is a significant development for the AV industry - the result of years of collaboration across manufacturers, standards bodies and end users – to which Macnica has been an early, active contributor,” said Sebastien Dignard, Chief Executive Officer, Macnica Atlantic Region. “Through the ME10 we’re excited to help move the industry forward with practical, production-ready silicon that supports open, interoperable standards.”
