AMWA IS-06 NMOS Network Control Specification (Deprecated)

Lint Status Zensical Render Status

AMWA IS-06 IS DEPRECATED

What does it do?

  • IS-06 lets broadcast control applications manage what happens on the network itself

What was the motivation?

  • Ethernet switch output ports might only support a limited number of media flows before they start dropping packets
  • This is different to what happens in a typical SDI router
  • And it means corrupted video and audio

How does it work?

  • Provides a “Northbound” API from network fabric’s controller
  • Includes topology discovery, flow authorization and assurances of flow bandwidth

Getting started

Readers are advised to be familiar with:

Readers should read the documentation in this repository, starting with the Overview, and then look at the APIs, which are written in RAML and JSON Schema (if a suitable tool for reading RAML is not available, then this will create HTML versions).

HTML rendered versions of all NMOS Specifications are available at https://amwa-tv.github.io/nmos

Releases

It is recommended that the tagged releases are used as a reference for development as opposed to the 'master' or development branches of this repository.

Each version of the specification is available under a v<#MAJOR>.<#MINOR> tag such as 'v1.0'. Once a specification has been released, any updates to its documentation and schemas which do not modify the specification will be made available via a v<#MAJOR>.<#MINOR>.<#UPDATE> tag such as 'v1.0.1'.
