AMWA IS-06 NMOS Network Control Specification (Deprecated)

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
