THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Overview of the Content Delivery Engines

This chapter provides an overview of the Content Delivery Engines (CDEs) and describes the hardware and software features. This chapter contains the following sections:

Cisco Internet Streamer CDS Overview, page 1-1

Cisco TV CDS Overview, page 1-2

Hardware Features, page 1-3

Cisco Internet Streamer CDS Overview

With the Content Delivery System (CDS) software installed, the CDE functions as a Content Delivery System Manager (CDSM), Service Engine (SE), or Service Router (SR). The CDSM provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to manage registered Service Engines and Service Routers. The CDS solution addresses the need to distribute and receive high-bandwidth, media-rich content across the Internet without performance losses or content delivery delays.

CDS software offers the following content-based services:

Content caching and hosting

Proxy services

Content replication

Video streaming

To deploy Cisco SEs with Cisco CDS software within your existing network, your network must support Cisco IOS software.

The CDE refers to the hardware that can run one or two Content Delivery Applications (CDAs). Each CDE can be configured with a specific device mode. Each device mode defines the set of CDAs that can run on the CDEs. As part of the CDE installation and initialization, you are asked to select a device mode. The following device modes are supported:

Content Delivery System Manager (CDSM)

Service Engine (SE)

Service Router (SR)

In order for cable operators to successfully deliver Video On Demand (VOD) services, a number of system elements must be present and work together. The OnDemand application is a component of next generation, open architecture VOD systems. The OnDemand application delivers a highly scalable and reliable solution for ingest, storage, content distribution, personalization and streaming of OnDemand Video.

The Cisco Video On Demand solution has three major elements:

A Vault Group consisting of one or more CDE200s or CDE400s. The Vault Group is responsible for ingest and reliable storage of Video On Demand content. The number of CDE200s or CDE400s in the Vault Group is driven by the amount of content that the Video On Demand system offers.

One or more Streaming Groups each consisting of one or more CDE300s. The Streaming Group is responsible for the personalization and streaming of Video OnDemand in response to user requests. The number of CDE300s and Streaming Groups is determined by the number of Video On Demand streams deployed and by the topology that best suits your individual network.

A CDSM (CDE100 or CDE200). The CDSM is used to manage the Vaults and Streamers, collect event logs, and host reporting tools.

Note In smaller systems, the CDE200 Integrated Streamer Vault (ISV) can be used, where the Vault and Streamer functionality exist in one CDE200 ISV.

Video Accelerator Software

Cisco has developed the Video Accelerator, a unique technology that facilitates the rapid movement of content between Vaults and Streamers while keeping required bandwidth to a minimum. To accomplish this, the Video Accelerator uses a form of caching across Gigabit Ethernet networks. All content is held reliably on the Vault servers and a large amount, but not all, of the content is also contained on the

Content Storage

Streaming

Bandwidth usage for ingests

Input/Output Ports and Connectors

The CDEs support the following I/O connectors on the rear of the device:

Ethernet connector

Serial connector

Video and audio connectors (on optional adapter)

Caution Once the product installation is complete, all I/O cables, except those installed in the Ethernet ports, must be disconnected from the CDE to maintain EMC compliance. Any other cable connections are temporary and are only used to initialize the system. All PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, USB interface, serial console interface, and VGA interface cables must be disconnected from the CDE’s front and rear I/O ports.

Caution In some CDE200 chassis, the streaming interface network interface card (NIC) is installed in slots 4 and 5 (counting from the left-most slot). In this hardware configuration, the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the motherboard are addressed as interfaces 3/0 and 4/0, and the interfaces on the NICs are detected as 1/0, 2/0, 5/0, and 6/0. The interface numbering must be taken into consideration when configuring IP addresses and port channels.
