IPTV Solutions

IPTV is a way in which Televison services are streamed over a packet-switched network infrastructure using the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. This means that TV pictures are sent over the Internet (OTT IPTV) or distributed on a LAN within a building.

IPTV in its simplest form, Live TV is streamed from a TV Gateway (also known as an Integrated Receiver Decoder or IRD), whose source is either from a satellite or terrestrial antenna. The Live TV packets are streamed out of the TV Gateway onto the LAN network for distribution through the premises by an Ethernet Switch LAN. The Live TV packets are carried over the LAN (usually CAT6 network cabling). Individual set top boxes (STBs) connected to a TV receive the Live TV packets from the network and convert them back to a TV picture.

The IPTV system can be enhanced with a Video on Demand (VoD) server for playing movies, a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) for recording TV programs and Timeshifting for pausing Live TV.
