Abstract: An overview of the data, control and management planes for A/V Servers, and logically all facility devices. The three planes are introduced and discussed with examples. This is new paradigm that SMPTE is using as their reference for standards development. Up until now, device manufacturers did not adhere to any strict model for device control and management. This paper outlines a preferred way that is gaining momentum in our industry.
