The ROSA NMS system manages all the equipment of your video delivery systems. This widely deployed network
management solution for IP television (IPTV), broadcast, and cable networks, provides uncomplicated access to
powerful and sophisticated capabilities.
Device Oriented Management for Cisco Digital Media Processing Devices
The ROSA NMS system integrates the Cisco Digital Media Processing devices to serve as an element
management layer. It integrates the Video Processing devices, such as Cisco Digital Content Manager (Cisco
DCM series), Cisco Modular Encoding Platform (Cisco D9036 series), Cisco Integrated Receiver Decoder (Cisco
IRDs), and various other device types. As a result, the ROSA NMS offers the entire operational control for Cisco
’s
video headend applications in the Origination and Acquisition Suite. The system provides the engineers and
operators with a single powerful platform to manage the digital video processing gear in satellite, cable, and IPTV
type applications.
