TV over IP Services
Flexible solutions in a professional
environment
With TV over IP, upc cablecom gives hotels, hospitals, service providers
and companies new ways of receiving free TV channels as a customised
programme package and to broadcast them further within the internal
network. All upc cablecom free-to-air TV programmes are also available
via IP for corporate customers; the programmes are transferred as IP
multicast streams to the customer via optical fiber cables. The programmes are transferred continuously which means that channels can
be switched without a delay, just as in analogue television.
The optical fiber connection, with high uptime and stability levels, can
be used simultaneously for data and voice services.
TV over IP services are available in two versions: Broadcast for coax
networks and Multicast for local data networks (LAN).
TV Broadcast Service
In this service, the TV programmes are broadcast as analogue PAL
signals or as digital DVB-C/DVB-T signals over existing coax cables. No
set-top boxes are required in the hotel or hospital rooms. As is the case
today, the TV programmes are broadcast over the internal hotel or
hospital coax network using TV Broadcast. The existing internal coax
network need neither be adapted nor replaced.
Analogue feed
The TV programmes are fed as analogue PAL signals into the local coax
network. This option is the ideal complement to the upc cablecom
range of analogue programmes. The range of analogue programmes
can thus be specifically enhanced by programmes in the digital range.
This option should be used for up to ten additional programmes
(maximum). Along with the optical fiber connection, the existing coax
connection must also be retained.
Digital feed
The TV programmes are fed into the local coax network according to
the DVB-C/DVB-T standard. For this purpose, the televisions must be
equipped with a DVB-C/DVB-T tuner. If the existing televisions do not
have a DVB-C tuner, then replacement with the newest generation HDready and energy-efficient televisions is recommended.
In addition to upc cablecom's range of programmes, in-house content
such as a local information channel can be fed using an IP-MPEG
stream. Once separated from the higher level upc cablecom HFC
network, the range of the internal HFC network can be used freely. The
internal coax network can thus also be used for additional applications
such as a local data network (LAN).
TV Multicast Service
In this service, the TV programmes are broadcast as IP multicast
streams or - with an IPTV solution - via an internal LAN infrastructure.
IP multicast streams
With this option, the TV programmes are directly accessible as IP
multicast streams at the service access point. The IP multicast streams
serve as a feed for an in-house TV solution, such as for implementation
on a coax network or as a feed for an IPTV solution.
With an IPTV solution
With an IPTV solution, the televisions are connected to the LAN via an
IP set-top box. The IPTV service is advantageous wherever additional
services such as Internet and Voice over IP (VoIP) are on offer. IPTV
permits greater flexibility in terms of the integration of additional video
services such as Video on Demand (VoD) and the layout of the user
interface. The arrangement of the programmes and language of the
user interface, for example, can thus be easily changed remotely. IPTV
solutions are not offered directly by upc cablecom. upc cablecom
cooperates with partners who offer IPTV solution.
