NMOS is a control protocol for the uncompressed-2110 (mainly) content.
NMOS 4 - registry: This service is only for detection and registry of current configuration and devices.
NMOS 4 registry is based on 2 steps: Finding the registry server and registering (There is also P2P mode - not relevant for us).
The NMOS client detects the registration server via mDns service that can wait for the server to advertise or send its own query. After detecting the server, it uses HTTP protocol (on registry defined port) where all traffic is generated by the MCM.
The MCM registers the “NODE” - per MCM server, “DEVICE” per each channel and each encoder, “SENDER” per each encoder TX - one per video and one per audio, “RECEIVER” per channel element - one per video, 8 for audio, 4 for metadata (ANC).
NMOS 5 - control: Configure active receivers/senders.
With NMOS 5, the MCM is an HTTP server. On MCM define port (currently 950). The MCM listens to the activation commands for both receivers and senders.
**On the MCM ssh - logger NMOS - displays the NMOS module logging.
On the MCM GUI, Navigate to Network → Configuration. Click on edit and check the check box to enable NMOS.
