ANSI SCTE 168-6:2017 pdf download.Recommended Practice for Monitoring Multimedia Distribution Quality.
This document is identical to SCTE 168-6 2010 except for informative components which may have been updated such as the title page, NOTICE text, headers and footers. No normative changes have been made to this document.
The scope of this Recommended Practice document is to provide background and discussion on Multimedia Management (MMM) system requirements to assist the cable operator with MMM deployment design tradeoffs as well as provide guidance and recommendations on several topics related to the deployment of Multimedia Management systems based on the experiences to date of both the participating committee operators and vendor companies and the directions of ongoing work in the HMS. The topics include:
• Integrated and Independent Monitoring Strategies
• Recommendations for Quality and Service Assurance Data Acquisition
• Recommendations for Quality and Service Assurance Visualization, Reporting, and Export
• MMM System Security Considerations
This background and set of recommendations is intended to provide guidance to operators who are planning to deploy or are currently deploying MMM systems. This information is intended to be used with that provided in other 1-IMS MMM documents.
