Introduction to Zones and Groups
The Cisco StadiumVision solution supports reliable delivery of content to thousands of endpoints,
providing venues the flexibility to place numerous TVs throughout the concourses, in the bars and
restaurants, in the luxury suites, in the locker rooms and back offices, in the concession areas, and
even in the restrooms. Digital content, in the form of still or animated graphics and video ad
insertions, can be targeted and delivered - with accompanying event video in HD or separately - to
any display or group of displays throughout the venue.

Managing the thousands of endpoints in a stadium can be a challenge if you don’t have some sort of
structure in place to keep track of where the endpoints are located and which content they are
playing. For example, say you have two TV screens and you want to show full screen video on one
screen and full screen signage on another. It’s easy to configure this if you have only two TVs. But
when you have hundreds or thousands of TVs that you want to show different video signage,
different sponsored content, different TV channels, and different menus, you need a way to automate
the configuration and manage the end point locations.

StadiumVision Hierarchy
To provide a logical way of organizing the hundreds to thousands of endpoints in a venue,
StadiumVision implements a hierarchy of Zones, Groups, Templates, and Locations.
