Switched Digital Video
Not all Switched Digital Video is created equal. Neither are Switched Digital Video vendors. Scientific Atlanta delivers every element of the Switched Digital Video solution, all based on open architecture for distinctive flexibility and advantage.
The Scientific Atlanta SDV solution offers marked advantages
over existing platforms with its open IP-architecture.
This key differentiator opens up protocols for multiple
vendor technologies and applications (including client
software, servers, switches and QAM modulators) integrated
together for platform scalability and flexibility without
complex upgrades. Additionally, the SDV platform
immediately enables QAM video sharing and high network
redundancy.
The Complete, End-to-End Open Architecture Solution
Scientific Atlanta offers the complete, end-to-end SDV
solution The best part is that the Scientific Atlanta
solution can work in concert with existing network equipment
and customer premise equipment. Specific solution elements
include:
- USRM - Distributed services management platform that provides carrier-class signaling and resource management with always-on operation. USRM supports both table-based and session-based Scientific Atlanta and third-party QAMs. USRM also supports encrypting GQAMs as well as the Netcrypt bulk encryptor. The USRM uses open protocols to enable rapid deployment of new services or edge resources, and can be configured to enable your architectural needs.
- Digital Content Manager - Grooms and
processes SDV streams. In the SDV solution, it can
perform additional functions with digital video, such as
ad insertion, rate shaping and transcoding.
- Netcrypt™ Bulk Encryptor - Allows for
independent scaling of encryption and Edge QAM resources
and is connected to the IP network over Ethernet.
- SDV Manager - Controls and arbitrates
bandwidth for multiple applications. Manages allocation
of bandwidth between SDV and existing VOD services. It
functions from the Digital Network Control System (DNCS).
- SDV Server - The foundation behind the SDV
solution. Tracks all channel change requests and
viewership patterns, and is built on standards-based
server hardware and operating systems.
- Session-Based QAM Modulators - Scientific
Atlanta offers a family of Edge QAM modulators that
support SDV. The GQAM, XDQA-24 and newly announced RF
Gateway 1 QAMs are all deployable into the SDV
architecture. These QAM products support IP multicast
(IGMPv3) and interoperability with standard IP
switch/switch routers. These QAMs interface with the
master SRM and SDV server using open interfaces to
deliver SDV over the HFC network. They also enable QAM
sharing between SDV and VOD services.
- SDV Client - Scientific Atlanta’s SDV client
can easily be integrated into existing set-top
electronic program guides (EPGs).
- Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System - The
industry’s first carrier-class routing system that
seamlessly scales to 92 terabits per second, uniquely
meeting the extreme capacity
needs of video entertainment delivery today while
providing investment protection for the future.
- Operational Support Applications for network readiness, service assurance, and capacity utilization monitoring and planning.
From headend applications to content acquisition to set-tops, with support software for service assurance, the Scientific Atlanta SDV solution provides a comprehensive package. And with Scientific Atlanta, you have the added benefit of a dedicated team of professionals with more than 25 years of interactive video experience behind them.
Let us take your SDV platform to a higher level with our
end-to-end solution, integration
experience and “glass-to-glass” video delivery technologies.
