S&T's TSConsole
TSConsole is a front-end controller and monitoring system for single or multiple TSBroadcaster units.
TSConsole is most suitable to TSBroadcaster users who are playing out a significant number of
OCAP applications, code images or data contained in one or more DSM-CC object carousels.
TSConsole is highly recommended for production and live use and also advised for critical lab use also.
Currently TSConsole is installed on an HP DL 360 Gen10p or similar system running 64-bit CentOS 6.9.
A typical TSConsole screen is shown below:
