This repository contains a client implementation of the AMWA Networked Media Open Specifications in JavaScript, licensed under the terms of the Apache License 2.0.
- AMWA IS-04 NMOS Discovery and Registration Specification
- AMWA IS-05 NMOS Device Connection Management Specification
For more information about AMWA, NMOS and the Networked Media Incubator, please refer to http://amwa.tv/.
The repository structure, and the external dependencies, are outlined in the documentation.
The Easy-NMOS starter kit allows the user to launch a simple NMOS setup with minimal installation steps. It relies on nmos-js to provide an NMOS Client that works with an NMOS Registry and a virtual NMOS Node in a Docker Compose network, along with the AMWA NMOS Testing Tool and supporting services.
Easy-NMOS is also a great first way to explore the relationship between NMOS services.
The nmos-js codebase is intended to work with any NMOS Registry, but can take advantage of the features of the nmos-cpp implementation.
After setting up the dependencies, follow these instructions to build and deploy the nmos-js client itself.
The web application can also be packaged and deployed with the nmos-cpp-registry application. Copy the contents of the nmos-js build directory into the admin directory next to the nmos-cpp-registry executable.
The nmos-js client, like the NMOS Specifications, is intended to be always ready, but steadily developing. The nmos-js client works as both an NMOS Registry browser, using the IS-04 Query API, and provides connection management, using the IS-05 Connection API. When used with the nmos-cpp-registry, it also provides access to registry log messages. It has been successfully tested in many AMWA Networked Media Incubator workshops, and in the JT-NM Tested programme.
The implementation is designed to be extended. Development is ongoing, following the evolution of the NMOS specifications in the AMWA Networked Media Incubator.
