IPTV Station Solution for VOD, Channel and Streaming

IPTV has become another industry term that has several meanings. We like to categorize IPTV Solutions into three categories: IPTV Channel, IP Streaming, and IPTV Video on Demand (VOD).

IPTV Channel

Instead of your channel or channels being delivered to your viewers via cable, satellite, or over-the-air, your channel is brought to your viewer via an IP network connection. This can be over the Internet or a private network. Over the Internet is ideal for clients trying to reach the world with their channel. The private IP connection is ideal for corporate and governmental clients that need to playout their channel within an internal, private, and secure network.

Your IPTV Channel is created with a similar infrastructure as a Network or Broadcast Facility.

With the infrastructure of a network or broadcast facility, the final transmission of your channel or channels is streamed over an IP address.

With a continuous video and audio stream over an IP address, your viewers can view your channel via a computer, cell phone, or set-top-box plugged into their living room TV.

IPTV Streaming
IPTV Streaming is typically a solution for our clients that want to broadcast an event over the Internet or internal network. Not a 24/7 channel like the IPTV Channel solution described above, but a one-time or a series of events such as concerts, sports, conferences, and meetings.

Your IPTV streaming solution is typically a production solution with an IP encoder connected to your production line cut. To learn more about our Production Solutions, click here.

The IP encoder can multicast your HD or SD production output in variable bit rates and codecs, meaning you can stream your production live over the Internet to millions of viewers or to a cell phone.

IPTV Video on Demand (VOD)
Video on Demand over the Internet has become an industry game changer for accessing content. It allows you to put your content at the fingertips of millions of people.

When integrating a Video on Demand solution, we engineer a solution that allows you to encode your content with superior quality yet still be quickly viewable over the Internet. We can integrate digital rights management software that protects you from piracy and tracks viewing. We can design and integrate the storage and server requirements to support thousands of simultaneous VOD streams, or establish CDN (content distribution network) agreements. In summary, we can design, engineer, and integrate a turnkey IPTV Video on Demand solution that fits your needs and budget.
