Ottawa, Canada – April 10, 2026 — Ross Video will highlight its support for the Media eXchange Layer (MXL) initiative and the Joint Taskforce on Dynamic Media Facilities (JT-DMF) through interoperability demonstrations and technology previews at 2026 NAB SHOW.
The Dynamic Media Facility (DMF) is an emerging architecture designed to make media systems more flexible, scalable, and interoperable by separating media processing into modular “functions” that can be dynamically deployed and connected across on-premises and cloud environments.
MXL (Media eXchange Layer) is the transport layer within DMF, providing a standardized way to move media between functions using shared memory rather than traditional streaming. This enables efficient, reliable interoperability between vendors while reducing processing overhead and avoiding vendor lock-in.
At NAB, Ross will participate in an 11-vendor MXL interoperability demonstration hosted by AWS, while also showcasing software-based, containerized workflow control at its booth using RPM and DashBoard via the Catena control plane. Ross has also proposed a Security Workgroup within the JT-DMF, with several prominent partner companies already engaged.
