Cluster Setup

A set of one or multiple Nodes (servers, computers, virtual machines) working together as a single system. Multiple Nodes can provide high availability to a server setup.

FQDN

Fully Qualified Domain Name

High Availability Mode

If a Server Setup consists of three nodes, it can provide high-availability as it is protected against the failure of one of these nodes.

Node

Each single node can be a server, a computer or a virtual machine.

Server Configuration

Specifies the application and its configuration parameters, which can then be installed on a Cluster Setup.

Node File

A file containing all required software packages to create a Cluster Setup on nodes which have been prepared with the factory default setup of an operation system only.

Suite File

A file containing all required software packages for the application specified in a Server Configuration.

Host

Hardware Platform which is connected on the IP network.

• A Host can be a COTS Platform (for example, a server) or a a purpose-built platform (for example, a Riedel MuoN devcie).

• A host can run one or many software applications.

• A host has a Host Type which cannot be changed.

• A host is formed from one or more Hardware Devices.

For example:

• COTS server

• Riedel MuoN

• Riedel FusioN

• An NMOS Node

Note: A host corresponds to an AWMA NMOS Node.

Discovery

Process by which Hosts are discovered over the IP network.

Riedel Discovery

Process by which Hosts are discovered over the IP network using the Riedel Discovery protocol.

NMOS Discovery

Process by which Hosts are discovered over the IP network using NMOS IS-04 mechanisms.

NMOS Host

Any media device that runs NMOS-enabled software and participates in the Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) ecosystem by making its resources and services discoverable and manageable over a network.

Refer to AMWA NMOS.

NMOS Device

NMOS specifications, such as IS-04 for discovery and IS-05 for connection management, allow different manufacturers' devices to automatically discover each other, register their capabilities, and establish media connections on an IP network, facilitating easier system integration in broadcast and AV environments. 

Refer to AMWA NMOS.

Network Scope

Represents a section of an IP Network that is configured in such a way that Hosts having network interfaces within this Network Scope can communicate with each other; they have IP connectivity. For example, networks can be segmented into the following Network Scopes:

• Management network

• Media Red network

• Media Blue network
