⚠️ If you use IP-VFC cards, we recommend updating to r29. This will also require a firmware update which you can perform using the IP-VFC firmware updater tool on the Resources page under the VFC Firmware Update tab.

IP-VFC - NMOS

Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) provide an open and simple to use control-plane solution that enables interoperability and management of IP connected audio and video devices.

NMOS enables an open, interoperable IP video system to replace SDI in Broadcast and ProAV applications everywhere.

NMOS provides a simple, vendor-neutral way to connect SMPTE ST 2110 senders and receivers, as ST 2110 does not inherently do this.

Underpinning ST 2110 is NMOS (Networked Media Open Standard), which is a group of specifications that allows for orchestration of media flows on an IP network. NMOS makes ST 2110 based infrastructure manageable and simpler to operate.

The IP-VFC card supports NMOS AMWA IS-04 Discovery & Registration and ANWA IS-05 Connection Management. This allows users to see any other NMOS-enabled devices on the network.
