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.
