Submission declined on 16 March 2025 by Caleb Stanford (talk). This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are: in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements) reliable secondary strictly independent of the subject Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Caleb Stanford 9 months ago.

Submission declined on 24 February 2025 by Samoht27 (talk). This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject. Declined by Samoht27 9 months ago.

• Comment: This article needs to be rewritten to be understandable to a general audience. Currently it is highly esoteric and uses technical language. The references are not formatted correctly; please use the citation generator to generate correct references. Also, please check whether the article is notable according to independent, reliable sources. If it is not or if it is borderline, the topic may be a better fit for adding some mention to an existing article, rather than creating a new standalone article.

Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) are a group of open-source specifications intended to allow interoperability on the control layer for media devices on an Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructure.^[1] NMOS provide discovery, registration and control services for the SMPTE ST 2110 media over IP networks, and other media over IP applications.^[2]

The NMOS specifications were created by the Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA), and are made available under the Apache-2.0 Licence.

The first NMOS specification (IS-04 v1.0.0) was published by AMWA in April 2016.^[3] There have been 15 total published releases of the IS-04 NMOS Discovery and Registration Specification, the most recent being v1.3.3 in December 2024.^[4][5]

The NMOS Connection Management API (IS-05) was released in October 2017. There have been 6 total published releases of IS-05, the most recent being v1.2.2 in October 2022.^[6]

There are currently two NMOS interface specifications (IS) deemed critical for the success of ST 2110:^[7][8]

• IS-04 - Discovery and Registration – IS-04 helps devices find each other and announce their capabilities.
• IS-05 - Connection Management – IS-05 allows the configuration of connections between devices called Senders and Receivers.

There are six other NMOS specifications:^[9]

• IS-07 - Event and Tally
• IS-08 - Audio Channel Mapping
• IS-09 - Systems Parameters
• IS-10 - Authorization
• IS-11 - Stream Compatibility Management
• IS-12 - Control Protocol

The development of at least two more specifications (IS-13 and IS-14) is in progress. IS-06 - Network Control is deprecated as of September 2022.^[10]

NMOS specifications have been endorsed by several industry organizations, including the European Broadcasting Union, which published a position statement in 2019 urging the accelerated adoption of NMOS.^[11] The Joint Task Force on Networked Media (JT-NM) have endorsed NMOS as a key enabling technology for SMPTE ST 2110 environments.^[12] Leaders from technology companies like Sony and Nextera Video have spoken on record about their support of NMOS.^[13]
