The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Cisco Digital Media System is the collective name for a product family that consists of Cisco Digital Media Manager (DMM) appliances, Cisco Video Portal appliances, Cisco Digital Media Player (DMP) endpoints, Cisco Digital Media Encoder (DME) devices, and all associated software components.
This guide tells you how to use the modules that you licensed for your Cisco Digital Media Manager 4.0 software and how to use the Cisco Video Portal Reports 4.0 software that is preinstalled on a Video Portal appliance. Depending on the module licenses that you purchase, DMM helps you to create and manage an online video portal, create and manage a digital signage network, or create and manage both.
The intended audience for this guide is DMM users who create, publish, or manage media for a video portal or a digital signage network. This guide is not meant for systems or network administrators who install, configure, or troubleshoot DMS products. See Cisco.com for related DMS and DMM user documentation
