Facilitate Switched Digital Video Deployments

Services and support applications from Cisco can simplify the complexity associated with switched digital video (SDV) deployments and help ensure their success as well. Our unique support applications are designed to help reduce non-responders and select the right channels prior to deployment, along with providing post-deployment capacity planning and network support.

These applications include:

• SDV Status and Operations (SAO): Focused on immediate operational needs for monitoring switched networks, SAO provides near real-time session analysis, alarm aggregation, and monitoring of key elements.
• SDV Capacity Planning: Allows systems to monitor switched video system capacity utilization to define any necessary changes before it affects your customers.
• SDV Collector: As the collection server component of the SDV platform, this application provides a single interface to all SDV servers per digital network control system (DNCS) by gathering data from each SDV server periodically throughout the day and collecting necessary DNCS data to produce operations reports.
• SDV Marketing: Provides minute-by-minute viewership details for all responding set-tops in a system through a user interface that displays data both by hub and by channel. This viewership data allows operators to identify, analyze, and use the long-tail channels within their SDV platform.
