Advanced Media Workflow Association

As part of AMWA's collaborative process, AMWA specifications are published on GitHub.^[3][4]

AMWA's Framework for Interoperable Media Service (FIMS) integrates a common approach to integrate hardware devices and software components in TV production facilities ^{[5] [6]}

Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) provide discovery, registration and control services for the SMPTE ST 2110 media over IP protocol suite, and other media over IP applications.^[7][8]

The Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) is a multimedia file format for professional media creators. AAF provides cross-platform data interchange, designed for the video post-production and authoring environment.^[9][10][11]

AAF and Material Exchange Format (MXF) are successors to Open Media Framework (OMF).^[10]

AMWA publishes interface specifications, data models, best current practices, application specifications and informative documents.^[12]
