The R&S
®
VENICE UI Playout Module is the operator‘s interface to the video
channels to play content. With one instance of the software you can control
different video channels of one or more VENICE servers at the same time.
In addition R&S VENICE S supports MOS 3.8.4 using SOAP. By imple-
menting MOS, Rohde & Schwarz has opened and simplified the integration
of the VENICE S.
Furthermore R&S VENICE S with software is VDCP compliant. This propri-
etary communications protocol primarily is used in broadcast automation to
control broadcast devices, like video servers for broadcast television. The
serial communications protocol based on RS-422 is derived from the Sony 9-
Pin protocol, an industry-standard protocol for controlling professional broad-
cast VTRs.
VENICE S uses the tightly coupled primary-secondary methodology of
VDCP. The controlling device takes the initiative in communications between
the controlling broadcast automation device and the controlled device (video
disk). VDCP conforms to the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference
model.
