NMOS for Pro AV
NMOS comes with IPMX – NMOS is "baked into" IPMX.
NMOS facilitates device discovery and registration,
making IPMX more "plug and play." ​
AMWA is collaborating with VSF and AIMS to complete and complement IMPX.

What's IPMX?
IPMX (Internet Protocol Media Experience) is a proposed set of open standards and specifications to enable the carriage of compressed and uncompressed video, audio and data over IP networks for the pro AV market. IPMX includes provisions for control, copy protection, connection management and security.
IPMX takes an open-standards approach to ensure that accessibility, ease of use, and implementation are available to all. The authors of its components come from organizations that represent the best interests of the pro AV market as a whole, rather than the interests of the few. This is in contrast to other solutions that, while calling themselves standards, are owned by a single entity that controls their intellectual property and usage, whether it is in the form of hardware, software, or a combination of the two.
IPMX builds on foundational work from AWMA, SMPTE, and VSF.

More About NMOS
As mentioned above, NMOS is part of the specifications that make up IPMX – but it's used in other systems and frameworks, too. SMPTE ST 2110 systems often use NMOS. You can find out more about NMOS here.​
