„EVEN AT AN EVENT OF THIS SIZE VIDI’S PERFORMANCE IS OUTSTANDING“Technical Director, World Cup Russia 2018

OPERATIONAL MONITORING OF MEDIA NETWORKS

ALL YOU NEED – AT A GLANCE

VIDI NMS provides an intuitively designed graphical overview of all elements and their status within the network. It takes a minimal number of interactions to fi nd out what’s going on in the network and take appropriate measures. Comprehend what’s going on – at a glance.

A COMPLETE PICTURE

An integrative tool for Media Network management that groups all existing devices under one “umbrella”, no matter what manufacturer or sub-management-system is used. A modular software that provides monitoring, service scheduling, confi guration, Web-Booking, performance and alarm management – giving you a complete picture.

GET A BROADER PERSPECTIVE –WITH THE APPROPRIATE VIEW

Managing complex networks requires diff erent views and access rights to the system and its functions. The GUI is scalable from a laptop screen to driving any number of screens in a monitoring facility. VIDI NMS comes with a fl exible, centralized user and rights management that allows for hsophisticated defi nition of users or user groups required for each task – giving everyone the appropriate view.

WORKS WITH ANY DEVICE –INDEPENDENT OF THE MANUFACTURER

VIDI NMS integrates devices from any manufacturer. Widespread protocols such as SNMP, REST, Ember+ etc. are already supported. The development of additional manufacturer-specifi c protocol drivers is undertaken on a regular basis. With communication established, monitoring, service provisioning or confi guration support can be implemented – independent of the manufacturer.

QUICK SERVICE AND DEVICE PROVISIONING

VIDI NMS off ers the possibility to quickly provision ad hoc services if time is precious. Additionally, the scheduling module takes care of managing planned future services with its timeline view and resource management functionality. During the provisioning process, available resources such as encoders/decoders and network interfaces are analyzed for capacity and paths through the network are routed based on user-defi ned priorities.
