AMWA BCP-008: NMOS Status Monitoring

This repository holds the suite overview for the BCP-008 series of AMWA Best Common Practices, part of the family of Networked Media Open Specifications from the Advanced Media Workflow Association.

What does the suite do?

• The BCP-008 series defines status-monitoring recommendations for NMOS Devices.
• It describes the status models and monitoring requirements for both stream Receivers and Senders.

Why does it matter?

• Consistent status models allow monitoring systems and operators to identify connectivity, synchronization, and stream or essence problems in a predictable way.
• Separating the Receiver and Sender recommendations makes the requirements clear while keeping them part of one coherent status-monitoring suite.

What are the recommendations?

• BCP-008-01: NMOS Receiver Status Monitoring
• BCP-008-02: NMOS Sender Status Monitoring

Getting started

Start with the BCP relevant to the type of stream endpoint being monitored:

• BCP-008-01 for Receivers
• BCP-008-02 for Senders
