Exploring the Role of NMOS: Discovery and Connection in an IP World

This SMPTE Technology Webcast will focus on how different parts of the AMWA NMOS work, in theory as well as in practice, and on how NMOS can be used in a range of applications, whether within a broadcast control room or a cloud-based workflow. Peter Brightwell, lead engineer at BBC’s R&D laboratory, will discuss the ins and outs of NMOS. The webcast will also include a review of NMOS implementations and feedback from trials and early deployments.
