IPSoft Distributed Media Architect (DMA) – media
content distribution management system is designed to be a unique tool to provide flexibility and
redundancy of such an important IPTV service as Video on Demand (VoD). Netris web-application
enables to optimize networks and reduce number of VoD servers.
How it works
IPSoft DMA proxies and redirects RTSP requests in IP-network. Subscriber’s STB applies to
IPSoft DMA server, which in its turn redirects or proxies the request to the nearest available
video server. After it an asset is referred directly from VoD server to STB. DMA server keeps
connection with every VoD server in the network and reacts immediately on a server failing.
IPSoft DMA Benefits

Every Network VoD server has an IPSoft DMA agent so central DMA server always has actual
information on the state and loading of VoD servers. During a movie watching a subscriber doesn’t
notice a server failure because the stream will be immediately recovered from the nearest available
server. For a subscriber it will be as a second movie pause on the TV screen.
