MOS and real-time device control initiative begun
Nov 1, 2004 1:52 PM, Beyond The Headlines e-newsletter
At IBC2004 in September, an initiative was started to include a new class of messages in machine object servers that will enable real-time device control of broadcast hardware.
Currently, there are several disparate proprietary protocols and methods that address only specific vendors' machines. Adding this control method as a new Profile in MOS, created in large part by the server manufacturers, would provide the industry an option for a single open standard.
These messages would be included in a separate additional profile (Profile 7) that would include the use of a separate port. The potential applications of the proposed Profile 7 could significantly increase the application scope of the existing MOS protocol.
This work is intended to complement, but leave unaffected, the existing Profiles 1-6, which remain free. Pinnacle Systems' Al Kovalick is leading the MOS Profile 7 work.
Interested parties can participate by following directions to the support conferences at www.mosprotocol.com. Or contact Sophie Toumazis at +44 208 347 7020 or sophie@tpr-media.com.
