From the perspective of the APEX1000, the major RTSP/MHA VOD control interfaces are
R6 and D6 from the Edge Resource Manager (ERM1000).
•
The ERM1000 uses D6 to discover the Edge QAM (the APEX1000) and its
capabilities.
•
R6 routes individual VOD sessions through the APEX1000, from an SPTS input at the
GigE interface to a program in an MPTS QAM output.
The other interfaces shown above relate to other functions and components in the
RTSP/MHA network, from the STB client, to the VOD streaming server, to the encryptor.
These are all controlled by the Session Manager.
