For a campus TV environment using Cisco technologies, how does DMS differ from the Scientific Atlanta system for IP/TV?
A. The Scientific Atlanta IP/TV system provides a higher density of television channels over an IP network and delivers television feeds in addition to channel tuning and program guide listings for each television by way of set-top boxes. In contrast, DMS is designed to deliver only a few channels of IP/TV to desktops or digital displays. A DME 2000 can encode two feeds from the video outputs on a set-top box, but cannot connect directly to a signal from a service provider. In a DMS campus network, the channels are usually fixed (CNN, BBC World, and so on).
