You might also want to mention AMWA NMOS, which is increasingly used alongside SMPTE 2110 in setups like this. NMOS (Networked Media Open Specifications) defines open, vendor-neutral APIs for device discovery, registration, connection management, and control of IP media systems. In practice, it's what lets 2110 devices automatically find each other, advertise their streams, and be connected or reconfigured via software.

The specs are fully open source and developed in the open, with reference implementations available on GitHub (https://github.com/AMWA-TV)

The specs define REST API's, JSON schemas, certificate provisioning, and service discovery mechanisms (DNS-SD / mDNS), providing an open control framework for IP-based media systems.
