Viewing Policy Manager
The Viewing Policy Manager service is designed to ingest program event data (ESNI-I02, SCTE-224, .CSV file, etc.) and normalize them using the SCTE-224 data model. can then access the list of SCTE-224 events and map corresponding controls at the audio/video headend level (such as encoder control using ESAM, for instance).
To configure the ingest of programming events schedules, proceed as follows:
- Click Add service.
- Select Viewing Policy Manager processing type.
- Configure a Name for this schedule ingest service. It shall be unique across the different services of same type.
- Select the Import type from the drop-down list.
Prisma normalizes all program event data ingested by storing them using the SCTE-224 data model. The table below summarizes the items one needs to configure depending on the selected import type:
| Import type | Items to configure |
|---|---|
| SCTE-224 | None* |
| ESNI-I02 | None* |
| .CSV | None* |
| CCMS | None* |
| BXF | Media, Audiences, Viewing policies, Policies |
| Playout (ADC100) | Media, Audiences, Viewing policies, Policies |
| Manual configuration | Media |
* SCTE-224 mapping is automatically configured
Regardless of the type of ingest, media points are created automatically (based on ingested time schedule for instance). A media point is an SCTE-224 structure which defines when a given event for instance is triggered (based on timing information and/or SCTE-35 matching criteria), and the policy being applied or removed.
SCTE-224 samples are available in Examples.
