The Joint Task Force on Networked Media (JT-NM) has announced enhancements to its JT-NM Tested program to improve transparency and foster greater industry participation.
These include:
- The JT-NM will publish testing criteria
- Vendors will perform testing at their own facilities
- Standards validation of vendor test results will be confirmed at a testing event scheduled for the week of 16th March
- Overall results will be made available to the industry via a published catalog of results and via badges that participants can display on their booths at the 2020 NAB Show
The JT-NM said these test results will enhance validation on implementations of select portions of SMPTE ST 2110, AMWA NMOS specifications and the JT-NM TR-1001-1.
The testing and validation process is open to any vendor producing equipment that makes use of the relevant portions of the aforementioned standards. Participation in past events is not a prerequisite for participation in the program for NAB 2020, the Task Force added.
