Broadcasters and facilities are able to synchronize production of audio, video and ancillary data elements, eliminating the need for embedding/disembedding to/from SDI while also reducing latency.
AJA NMOS Application
AJA NMOS is an optional component within the AJA Desktop Software installer. When running, it enables NMOS based discovery, registration and control within software defined video networking environments, and resides in the system tray of your OS. Right clicking on the application provides access to log and status information and provides an option to exit if required.
The latest Desktop Software v16 updates NMOS support to 1.3, providing the widest possible feature set and collaboration with NMOS control systems. Additionally LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) support provides for better NMOS compatibility and improved debugging abilities.
