Enable NMOS - AWS Elemental Live

Enable NMOS

You must enable NMOS on your appliance. If you are using an NMOS registry, you must configure AWS Elemental Live to connect to it. Perform this configuration once, before you create the first SMPTE 2110 NMOS input.

You perform this step once on each appliance where you will use SMPTE 2110 NMOS inputs.

  1. In the Elemental Live web interface, choose Settings. (Don't choose Input Devices or Routers from the submenu).

  2. Complete the fields as described in the following table, then choose Save.

Field
Enable NMOS Access Choose Yes
Use make-before-break

The value that you enter here applies to all the SMPTE 2110 receiver groups in events on the node.

There are two ways for Elemental Live to process receiver patching instructions from the NMOS controller:

  • Make before break: Elemental Live will prepare all the streams in the receiver group before it switches to ingesting this new content. This option requires more network bandwidth because Elemental Live must simultaneously process the original content and prepare the new content.

  • Break before make: Elemental Live will immediately switch to the new content. There will be a slight discontinuity in the content while Elemental Live makes the switch.
NMOS Node and Device Label

NMOS Node UUID

NMOS Device UUID

These fields must uniquely identify this node on the NMOS registry. You can enter values or leave the fields blank to let Elemental Live generate values.

The combination of label UUID for the node must be unique on the NMOS registry. The combination of device label and UUID must be unique on the NMOS registry.

When you create a SMPTE 2110 receiver group on this node, the values will be included in the data that Elemental Live sends to the NMOS registry.
NMOS Registry Server URI Obtain the URI of the NMOS registry from your organization’s registry operator.

If your organization doesn't use an NMOS registry, leave the auto-populated default value for this field in place.
