Making IP Monitoring Simpler with NMOS at AMWA | NAB 2025
At NAB 2025, we caught up with Brad Gilmer from AMWA at the AIMS IP Showcase booth to explore how minimum status reporting within NMOS is changing the game for broadcast engineers. Brad walks us through the user-driven development of a simple but powerful visual system for monitoring IP infrastructure - a traffic light system designed to flag issues quickly and help prevent downtime.
He demonstrates how a green/yellow/red alert interface helps identify network threats before they become catastrophic. With a real-world implementation by Pebble using NMOS 2110 senders and receivers, this approach ensures operators can react fast, especially in large installations with thousands of devices.
