= Networked Media Open Specifications =

Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) are control-plane APIs for interoperability and management of IP-connected audio and video devices. The first, and best best-known, specifications are IS-04, for discovery of devices, and IS-05, for connection management of devices, and are supported by many devices using SMPTE 2110 digital video networking. More recent specifications cover areas including security, audio channel mapping, device control and support for compressed streams.

The NMOS specifications have been created by the Advanced Media Workflow Association, and are made available under the Apache-2.0 Licence. Several NMOS specifications are recommended by the Joint Task Force on Networked Media, a group of broadcast media industry bodies.

Many media devices that support SMPTE ST 2110 digital video support at least IS-04 and IS-05. Open source implementations and test tools are available for developers.
