The Entra Video QAM Manager (VQM) enables engineers to integrate video in a Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) with existing infrastructure such as edge QAMs or bulk video encryptors. Operating as a Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) auxiliary core, the Entra VQM instructs Remote PHY Devices (RPDs) on how to create broadcast and narrowcast QAM video services using one or more standards-compliant sources (video engines). Working with the Entra Legacy QAM Adapter or other third-party video engines, the VQM supports RPDs from multiple vendors.
Judge's Comment: "As operators move toward DAA, the Entra Video QAM Manager should help streamline roll outs."
