Cable operators have to face two latent challenges every day:
The configuration, provisioning and controlling of large video networks containing disparate equipment is time consuming and complex. Often such an environment may include upwards of 5 to 10 networks with diverse customer equipments and uncoordinated management systems that demand split control to ensure video quality.
The ability to provision, activate, and confirm high quality, high bandwidth video transmissions over wide area networks with disparate equipment and incompatible element/network control systems is a slow and inefficient process. As a result, higher revenue producing and higher margin video service availability continue to be very limited.
Broadcast OSS Contribution Management System is designed to optimize media service provisioning and provide on-demand video, voice and data traffic over Legacy and IP/MPLS networks. Dimetis Monitoring Suite with its exceptional and comprehensive monitoring capabilities can be a point solution for standard OSS (Umbrella Management) such as IBM Tivoli, HP OpenView.
Dynamical configuration, scheduling, monitoring and control of video/audio/data connections across transmission networks of all types: Dimetis BOSS LINK Manager® Series
Configures, controls and monitors devices within a broadcast facility: BOSS BROADCAST Manager®
The BOSS LINK Manager® Series takes the variety of uncoordinated and independent platforms necessary for operations and integrates them into a single synchronized screen. “Best of class” broadcast practices, gained over decades of experience, are “built-in” employing a user friendly GUI to reduce complexity and time to deployment. Equipment agnostic the BOSS LINK Manager® Series controls legacy as well as emerging technologies (DTM, IP/MPLS) and can be adapted to just about any protocol. Used by world class broadcasters and carriers for over a decade to configure, schedule and dynamically control video, audio and data networks the BOSS LINK Manager® NMS Series has become the “de facto” bench mark of broadcast transmission management among broadcasters worldwide. Moving real time quality assured media and video, managed, monitored and controlled, more simply and quickly allows these carriers and broadcasters to realize higher revenues and profits. Any matter of protocol connection can be made and protected from point-to-point to point-to-multipoint and all network activities can be precisely planned including scheduling, bandwidth management, and monitoring. Assurance and reliability is provided through multitudinous time proven protection modes including auto rerouting on path failure or conflicts.
Dimetis BOSS LINK Manager® unifies network management across broadcast and telecom networks, enabling transfer of real-time, on-demand high bandwidth video with high quality, resulting in greater revenues with higher profit margins. The technology and protocol agnostic Broadcast Operations Support System provides a wide range of features and functionality, including point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections for IP, HD-SDI, SDI, ASI, T1/E1/DS1, Ethernet VLAN and VPN, VPLS and VLL QOS environments. All network transmissions can be precisely configured, scheduled, bandwidth-managed and tracked, with automatic rerouting on path failures or conflicts. Dimetis BOSS LINK Manager® improves the management of service planning, enabling deployment in multi-service, multi-vendor, multi-technology, and multi-protocol environments. Dimetis BOSS LINK Manager® can scale from a simple network consisting of just video adaption layer with its “Lite” configuration based on a “Soft Touch Panel” up to carrier grade multiserver and cloud based applications.
With BOSS BROADCAST Manager® Dimetis provides a centralized management-system which monitors and controls all components in a network or multiplex center. It is a hardware agnostic, multi vendor environment control system, which allows for dynamic configuration of services (dynamic PMT). Services can be represented, configured and if necessary switched in case of a failure in different backup mode. The whole network is shown in an intuitive GUI. All faults and alarms occurring in the network are logged in a centralized or cascading manner. Alarm correlation/de-duplication, root-cause-analysis is performed and the defected units of networks elements are isolated. BOSS BROADCAST Manager® manages tri-medial distribution of signal within the same platform: that is TV, radio and internet streaming.
