​How Does NMOS Help?

The NMOS ROADMAP

 

Since the NMOS developments began, there has been a steady demand from users to provide valuable new functionality.  The table below shows the key developments.  These include all that are finished and in use, plus some “work in progress” and future additions.  The successful adoption of NMOS developments in real world systems provides a solid basis for additional work, as both media companies and Pro AV users, working closely with their suppliers, gain benefits from IP-based infrastructures.

Please note - there is a range of material to support these technical developments.  These include Best Current Practice documents, Implementation Guides and Data Model Specifications, which can be found on the Specification page of AMWA.tv.

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.

​How can I use it?

NMOS is available form a broad range of vendors

 

Suppliers worldwide have signed up to participate in the NMOS developments.

Big industry names and small independent specialists are contributing to the working groups, showing a long-term commitment to the success of this initiative.

The JT-NM Tested program offers confidence to purchasers that products have been thoroughly checked by industry experts.

Where can I buy it?

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.
