Features and Benefits
CommScope Video Unified Edge (VUE) is a suite of modular software functions deployable in the Service Provider's cloud environment that virtualize the legacy video headend network. CommScope VUE replaces traditional CommScope appliance products with software functions, simplifies the network, automates configuration, and improves uptime. In a DAA (Distributed Access Architecture) the VUE functions as a video core supporting both video data plane and video control plane, and for SCTE 55-1.

CommScope VUE has multiple applications, addressing some of the key challenges facing operators today.

VUE functions as the Video Core in R-PHY and R-MAC/PHY architectures (DAA):
VUE sources MPEG-2 Transport Stream video muxes for linear broadcast and narrowcast (VOD and SDV) directly to the RPD or RMD
VUE sends the SCTE 55-1 out of band stream directly to the RPD via R-DEPI, and VUE receives the SCTE 55-1 upstream directly from the RPD via R-UEPI
VUE provisions the RPD via the Cable Labs GCP protocol for video and SCTE 55-1

Virtualizes the Video Headend:
Replaces legacy appliance products with virtualized SW
Virtualizes EQAM functions (packet processing performed in VUE, RF modulation done in the Remote PHY and/or Remote MAC-PHY node)
Virtualizes the legacy interactive network (SCTE 55-1)

DAA Support Features:
Receives encrypted SPTS & MPTS from the CommScope APEX 3000-NE
Performs Add/Drop Mux (including pre-encrypted services)
Supports NGOD R6/D6 for session setup for VOD and SDV
Builds linear broadcast and narrowcast output MPTSs
Encapsulates all output MPTS with R-DEPI
Supports slave to 1588 Time Server for synchronous operation with the RPD
Supports GCP to provision the DAA node for video streams and SCTE 55-1 (as Auxiliary Core)

Operability Features:
Highly efficient scaling
Supports 25 transport stream (TS) muxes per physical CPU core (Annex B)
Supports 19 TS per physical core (Annex A)
Supports various high availability options including 1:1, N:1, and input transport stream redundancy
Works seamlessly with the CommScope Video Topology Manager (VTM) for optimal functionality
