MOS-Connection

MOS-Connection is a Node.js library to communicate, using the MOS Protocol, with systems such as Newsroom Computer Systems (NRCS) or other MOS devices.

Features include:

• Acting as a MOS Device (ie a client), connecting to an NRCS.
• Acting as a NRCS (ie a server), allowing other MOS Devices to connect to it.
• Helpful tools for developing MOS Plugins and parsing MOS data.
• A simple tool for testing MOS connections, called Quick-MOS.

This library is developed as a part of the Sofie TV Automation System.

Packages

MOS-Connection consists of 4 packages:

• @mos-connection/connector is a Node.js library is used to connect to MOS devices or act as a MOS Server/NCS. The helper and model functionality is included in this library as well.
• @mos-connection/helper is a library that provides various functions useful for those that prepare/handle data that will be sent to (or has been received by) the MOS-connection. The model functionality is included in this library as well.
• @mos-connection/model is a library that contains types and enums, useful for applications that handles MOS-data.
• There is also a helper application QuickMos designed to be a minimal mock MOS server for testing client applications.

Getting Started

Installation

npm install @mos-connection/connector

Usage

_See more examples in the examples folder, or the QuickMos implementation!

import { MosConnection } from '@mos-connection/connector'

let mos = new MosConnection(new ConnectionConfig({
	mosID: 'my.mos.application',
	acceptsConnections: true,
	profiles: {
		'0': true,
        '1': true,
        '2': true,
        '4': true
	},
	openRelay: true
	debug: false
}))
mos.onConnection((device: MosDevice) => { // called whenever there is a new connection to a mos-device
	if (device.hasConnection) { // true if we can send messages to the mos-server
	    device.getMachineInfo().then((lm) => {
			console.log('Machineinfo', lm)
		})
	}
	// Setup callbacks to pipe data:
	device.onRequestMachineInfo(() => {})
	device.onCreateRunningOrder((ro) => {})
	device.onDeleteRunningOrder((RunningOrderID: MosString128) => {})
	device.onReadyToAir(() => {})
	// ...
})

Quick-MOS

"Quick-MOS" is a simple MOS application that can be used to test the MOS-connection library.

It reads data-files from disk and pretends to be an NRCS, so you can connect other MOS-clients to it.

See Quick-MOS for more information.

MOS Support

The MOS-Connection library currently supports the MOS Protocol version 2.8.5.
