IPTV - Broadcast TV over an Ethernet Network

Internet Protocol Television or IPTV as it is more commonly known provides television content over a computer network to a multiple of users.

Our simple, cost effective IPTV distribution system provides high quality, full screen digital TV over an Ethernet network using IP. Both digital satellite and terrestrial channels can be broadcast directly to a PC, or using an IP set top box, to a TV anywhere on the network.

Features such as subtitling, basic programme and event guide, mute, colour/contrast control, aspect ratio and different screen sizes, are all included as standard. Options to run in standalone, or embedded within a standard web page are available.

Problems such as space, background noise, screen positioning and support of a separate coax network are removed. By using IPTV the content is delivered direct to each users own TV (via a STB), or PC allowing them access to the full range of terrestrial and satellite channels. In situations where there is a requirement to put live TV content onto large Plasma or LCD screens, an IP STB is used, ensuring the same picture quality and user experience is available to all.

Education
Universities, colleges and schools use IPTV connected to their structured cabling system to deliver lectures and educational material, live or from tape or server to any number of screens in different classrooms throughout the building.

Leisure and Sports Complexes
IPTV can deliver a uniform corporate message and distribute breaking news and stock information to 24 screens or PC workstations simultaneously. Larger organisations can loop together hubs and expand the system for delivery to more users. There is no impact on the LAN.

Travel Terminals
Locations such as airport lounges; train stations and ferry terminals are ideal for IPTV. Passengers will have a more comfortable wait if they are kept informed and entertained.

Home Networks
Many new homes are now fitted with a twisted pair cable infrastructure. IPTV is ideal for use in this application, allowing shared entertainment resources such as DVDs, VCRs and satellite TV channels to be delivered to every room.

Hotels and Hospitality
Computer presentations, product promotions or messages can be delivered to a wide variety of display devices using IPTV. Hotels may want to welcome guests with messages on an eye-catching Plasma screen in the foyer, for example whilst the hospitality suite at a racecourse may prefer to combine live racing coverage on the TV screen with a promotional presentation.
