Key Operational Features
One of the design goals of this device was to lower operational costs and allow it to be
deployed in remote sites where local support is at a premium. To achieve this goal the
following features are available:
• All configuration and management can be provided by the network
• Configuring a new device can be as simple as inserting it into the Densité chassis with
all setup information being loaded based on the device location, which can be useful
for both new channels and replacing defective ones
• Provisioning and repair operations can be easily be performed with staff without
broadcast specific training
• Device will robustly continue to operate during temporary loss of connection to GV
STRATUS Playout using previously downloaded playlists or “evergreen” material
• SSP-3801 cards can pull broadcast media from a number of configured locations for
maximum resilience and flexibility
