NMOS is a control protocol for the uncompressed-2110 (mainly) content.
NMOS 4 - registry: This service is only for the detection and registry of current configurations and devices.
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.
A test for NMOS broadcasting receivers is HTTP://{IP Adress}:950/x-NMOS/node/1.0/receivers web browser test.
