User interface and control with ROSA/C
OPERNICUS
Integrated
management system
ROSA
The integrated management system ROSA provides unique management capabilities.
The S
TELLAR
MPEG-2 decoder can be set up, controlled and monitored remotely by
ROSA which controls the server software C
OPERNICUS
, which in turn controls the
connected S
TELLAR
or other compatible units.
You set up and monitor the STELLAR
using the integrated management system
ROSA, either in its full version with C
OPERNICUS
, an industrial computer, and a net-
work, or in a stand-alone version on a PC directly connected to the codec (ROSA
Device Configuration Shell). ROSA operates with Windows NT, Windows 95 or
Windows 98 on an IBM compatible PC with a standard RS-232 communication port.
