​How Does NMOS Help?

​

The NMOS ROADMAP

 

Since the NMOS developments began, there has been a steady demand from users to provide additional functionality.

 

Version 2 of the NMOS Roadmap shows all of these key developments, now grouped to show the overall benefits and how they work together.  These include the many developments that are finished and deployed, along with “work in progress” and future additions.

 

Much of the new work is to accommodate compressed video formats to extend the use of NMOS between media premises and to / from the Cloud.

 

Also, as the IPMX standard is adopted in the Pro AV market, NMOS will bring valuable plug and play benefits to both end users and suppliers alike.

 

The roadmap includes Interface Specifications (IS-xx), Best Current Practices (BCP-xx) and Data Model Specifications (MS-xx), to show the functionality and benefits that they offer.

 

Please note - there is a range of supporting material for these technical developments.  These can be found as INFO documents on the Specifications page of AMWA.tv.

What you will find 

​

  • Core Functionality

  • Security Features

  • Compressed Streams

  • Control and Monitoring

  • System Features

Join the family of NMOS users and suppliers

 

AMWA members have invested thousands of hours in developing the open specifications that are in use today.  But we also encourage non-members to benefit from this development time by including the code, free of charge, in their product range.

See below for a range of resources that are available to help you.

nmos developments are based on real business needs

 

End users and their suppliers are working towards open standards and specifications to escape the limitations of closed technology solutions.  Customers want the ability to build systems using products with the best features.  Vendors value the ability to make sales into the widest customer markets.

​Will it help my business?

​

NMOS is a fundamental part of an ip-based infrastructure
​

For an excellent picture of how both vendors and their customers are embracing NMOS and IP-based architectures, the AIMS IP Showcase presentations from IBC2019 shows how NMOS is being developed and adopted in a wide range of applications.

And for end users who want to specify NMOS in their procurement processes, there is a standard form of words, prepared by the EBU.

Is there a risk in adopting it?

SO what for the future?

 

IP-based infrastructures take us on important first steps, liberating workflows from traditional, hard-wired, point-to-point installations.  However, the professional media industry can also harness the power of IT infrastructures that we have come to expect every day in our office systems.
