TSBroadcaster Enterprise Manager

S&T's TSBroadcaster Enterprise Manager provides the means to control and monitor the operation of a number of TSBroadcaster ETV systems.

Enterprise Manager offers a UI and Java API for control and monitoring, and communicates with TSBroadcaster units through the TSBroadcaster API.

A key feature of Enterprise Manager is the capability to define a group of services in one or more TSBroadcaster tasks so that they can be addressed as a single unit when controlling the playout of applications. This process occurs by defining individual Enterprise Services that are required; and then to defining the Service Groups that contain the Enterprise Services.

The ETV applications handled by Enterprise Manager are defined by CoDF files, which define the application signalling, content and lifecycle.
