Standards: Appendix N - AMWA NMOS Documents

All of the AMWA NMOS documents are available free of charge at the AMWA web site. Download what you need.

This is an Appendix to our series of articles on Standards.

Interface Specifications (IS)

Interface Specifications 4,5 and 6 are deemed critical to the success of ST 2110. Note that IS-06 is now deprecated with no reason given. That may be because it depended on support in IP switches that was not widely available enough to allow it to control the low-level network traffic. There may be alternative solutions as part of the more generic IP networking support tools that are widely available.

Essential Guide: Delivering Intelligent Multicast Networks

This Essential Guide discusses the potential weaknesses of the ‘Protocol-Independent Multicast’ protocols that underpin multicast, and explores how a bandwidth aware infrastructure can maximize network capacity to reduce the risk of congestion.

Standards: Part 16 - About MP3 Audio Coding & ID3 Metadata

The MP3 audio format has been around for thirty years and has been superseded by several other codecs – so here we discuss why it still has a very strong position in broadcast. We also discuss ID3 metadata tags which often a…

Standards: Part 15 - ST2110-2x - Video Coding Standards For Video Transport

SMPTE 2110 and its related standards help to construct workflows and broadcast systems. They coexist with standards from other organizations and incorporate them where necessary. In an earlier article we looked at the ST 2110 standard as a whole. This time we…
