MOS Implementation
ENPS is designed to support Media Object Server (MOS), the industry-standard protocol for integrating newsroom systems with other production and broadcast equipment over IP. ENPS integrates with dozens of third-party video servers, audio servers, still stores, character generators and other broadcast production and automation systems.
ENPS supports MOS versions 2.5, 2.6, 2.8, 2.8.1, 2.8.2, 2.8.3, 2.8.4, 2.8.5, 3.8.3, 3.8.4, 3.8.5 and 4.0.
Configuration
MOS integration is configured in ENPS using the System Maintenance > MOS Configuration table.
The supplier of your third-party MOS protocol-enabled equipment can provide details on how to configure their systems to integrate with ENPS, but the following rules apply to all systems:
-
The Newsroom Computer Systems ID ncsID is always the NetBIOS name of the ENPS server.
-
Use the following address for inbound traffic from the MOS device to the ENPS client:
MOS version
Address
MOS 3.8.3
http://<ENPSServerName>:10543/NOMMOSWebService.asmxMOS 3.8.4
http://<ENPSServerName>:10543/MOS384/NOMMOSWebService384.asmxMOS 4.x
(SSL)
wss://<ENPSServerName>:443/MOS4NCSMOS 4.x
(non-SSL)
ws://<ENPSServerName>:80/MOS4NCS
Plug-ins
The ENPS client can host third-party HTML5 and ActiveX plug-ins designed to complement server-side MOS integration.
MOS-compliant plug-ins typically allow users to view and edit material and metadata on the manufacturer's systems, and support client-side integration such as drag-and-drop of media pointers to an ENPS story.
ActiveX plugins need to be installed on each workstation that they are used. Available plugins can be opened by right-clicking the MOS icon on the ENPS Client NavBar, clicking the option on the Story ribbon or by double-clicking MOS pointers / MOS Item References from the associated MOS system.
