Introduction to Networked Media Open Specifications

Introduction to Networked Media Open Specifications

Overview

NMOS (Networked Media Open Specifications) is a family of open-source, free-of-charge specifications that enable interoperability on the control layer for media devices on an IP infrastructure.​

This 3-hour live online course will give you a clear, practical understanding of how NMOS works and how it’s implemented in real systems, whether you’re working with SMPTE ST 2110 or IPMX.

You’ll see how NMOS communications function behind the scenes, with step-by-step walkthroughs of IS-04 and IS-05 flows and plain-language explanations of how NMOS uses REST APIs and WebSockets. The session takes you from foundational concepts to a complete NMOS environment, helping you build confidence in interoperability and reduce risk when deploying multi-vendor IP systems.

This online virtual course is organized together with EBU Technology & Innovation and AMWA.

A hands-on workshop on NMOS is also open for registration. Networked Media Open Specifications Hands-on Workshop

Who is it for

  • Customers, end-users who are using or plan to use ST 2110 or IPMX in a station or facility, ideal for decision makers and operations staff.
