Lessons Learned Implementing FIMS 1.0

Ian Hamilton, Tony Vasile

The Framework for Interoperable Media Services (FIMS) is a joint initiative of AMWA and the EBU. The objective of FIMS is to standardize service interface definitions for implementing media related operations in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). As one example of how FIMS can be used, a system that ingests and conforms content for playout and non-linear delivery can leverage FIMS to flexibly interact with media capture, transfer and transform products from multiple vendors. As one benefit of using standard interfaces, system components can easily be added, updated and removed in response to changing requirements and demand. This paper discusses lessons learned while implementing FIMS 1.0.
