AMWA BCP-004-01 NMOS Receiver Capabilities
About BCP-004-01
What does it do?
- Allows an IS-04 Receiver to express parametric constraints on the types of streams that it is capable of consuming
Why does it matter?
- Controllers need to know whether a Receiver is capable of handling a specific Sender’s stream before connecting the two
How does it work?
- Establishes an open Capabilities register in the NMOS Parameter Registers that lists specifications for parametric constraints (such as width, height, frame rate, number of channels, etc.)
- Defines how a Receiver instantiates these Parameter Constraints to make up a list of acceptable Constraint Sets, within the IS-04
capsattribute - Defines how Controllers evaluate whether an IS-04 Sender satisfies these constraints, based on the target parameters specified for each constraint (such as IS-04 Flow attributes and SDP format-specific parameters)
BCP-004-01 has been developed by the Advanced Media Workflow Association as part of the Networked Media Open Specifications initiative. See here for an overview of NMOS specifications.
The NMOS Testing Tool creates a simple web service for testing implementations of all NMOS APIs.
