Introducing New Advances in Local Channel Insertion Technology
ATX Networks has made a major leap forward in the broadband media distribution field with the launch of DVIS™ II, their next-generation, IP-based local channel insertion platform. This innovative solution is now widely available, offering crucial tools that service providers can use to enhance their offerings.
What DVIS II Offers
DVIS II is specifically designed to cater to the increasing demand for IP services from Multiple System Operators (MSOs). As many providers transition to IP systems, this platform ensures that customers can still access localized content, which is vital for engaging both residents and guests in multi-dwelling environments. Jeff McInnis, General Manager of Media Distribution at ATX, points out that this platform not only supports the necessary shift to IP but also enhances user experience and operational efficiency.
Adapting to Various Output Requirements
One of the key features of DVIS II is its ability to support both IP and QAM-based outputs simultaneously. This flexibility allows service providers to make a gradual transition to IP technology without interrupting their existing services. By enabling local content insertion across a diverse range of endpoints, ATX provides MSOs with a solid solution to meet their customers' requirements during this important industry evolution.
Efficient Management with Visium™
The management of the DVIS II system becomes much easier with ATX's Visium™ Manager, a complete element management system. This system effectively manages the DVIS II encoders and integrates well with other components such as the Visium MD multimedia gateways and the Visium Set-Back Box (SBB) security adapter. This optimization streamlines installation, monitoring, and maintenance across potentially thousands of devices.
Improving Local Content Delivery
The DVIS II platform adopts a cost-effective strategy by utilizing an edge encoder located on the premises alongside ATX’s Visium Enhanced Origin Server. This low-latency software engine can be hosted in various settings, including MSO datacenters, public cloud environments, or directly within large enterprises. This approach ensures unmatched customization and authentication capabilities, so only authorized clients receive the necessary local content that meets their specific needs.
Live Demonstration at TechExpo
ATX Networks intends to showcase the DVIS II platform at SCTE TechExpo 2024, where it will highlight the platform's capabilities and versatility through a live demonstration. Attendees will also have the chance to check out the Visium MVP, a solution specifically designed for small to medium businesses that can help them deliver tailored video content across multiple screens.
