Setting Up Digital Source Definitions
In an Overlay Environment
Overview
Introduction
You can add information to the DNCS database about a service or program by
setting up a digital source definition. In this case, the source is the content that the
DBDS uses to deliver a service to subscribers. When you define the source for a
digital service, you also build a session. Sessions define and allocate the resources
that the network uses to deliver service content. When building a session, you
identify the source equipment where the service content originates, such as an
Integrated Receiver Transcoder (IRT). You also identify the distribution equipment
that places the service content onto the network, such as a QAM modulator. It may
help to think of a session as a pipeline through the DBDS that is allocated to deliver
specific service content.
