<!-- INTRO-START -->

### What does it do?

- It provides a standard way of monitoring the statuses of Receivers

### Why does it matter?

- It offers standard models for minimum status reporting
- It provides guidance, sets out expectations and requirements for receiver status monitoring

### How does it work?

- It documents the standard models Devices have to use in order to offer receiver status monitoring
- It lists the prerequisites and dependencies in terms of NMOS specifications
- It describes the status monitoring domains along with expectations, behaviour and conformance requirements

### Where to start?

To quickly start your journey an implementation guide is available for [NMOS Control](https://specs.amwa.tv/info-006/).  
An open source media node framework is available in the form of [nmos-cpp](https://github.com/sony/nmos-cpp).  
An example mock application is available in the form of the [NMOS Device Control Mock Application](https://github.com/AMWA-TV/nmos-device-control-mock).  
A testing tool is available in the form of the [NMOS API Testing Tool](https://specs.amwa.tv/nmos-testing).

This specification relies on familiarity with the following existing specifications:

- [MS-05-02: NMOS Control Framework](https://specs.amwa.tv/ms-05-02/)
- [IS-12: NMOS Control Protocol](https://specs.amwa.tv/is-12/)
- [IS-04: NMOS Discovery and Registration](https://specs.amwa.tv/is-04/)
- [IS-05: NMOS Device Connection Management](https://specs.amwa.tv/is-05/)
