 "IPTV is defined as multimedia services such as


television/video/audio/text/graphics/data
delivered over IP based networks managed to
provide the required level of quality of service and
experience, security, interactivity and reliability.Dz

 · consumer technology for delivery of broadcast


TV, on-demand video and interactive
entertainment services to consumer TV sets over
IP networks
 ›ompanies providing IPTV services
sendevision content to consumers through a
broadband net connection.
 Internet Protocol (IP):is a protocol used for
communicating data across a packet switched
internet.
 Television (TV): specifies the medium of
communication that operates through the
transmission of pictures and sounds.

 The difference from the dzInternet TVdz is that
there is no waiting, buffering and QoS is like

The Internet protocol television (IPTV) service in India is


being recognized as the next big thing. IPTV services are
coming up in a big way with the latest entrant being
Bharti ·irtel. ·s per the Iv› report, the number of
subscribers is likely to reach around 1 million by 2011
in India.
|
 | 
 The impact that IPTV will have on the industry can
be categorized into three areas:
 ›  M IPTV technology promises to make more
content available, make it easier to access and make
it portable (while maintaining security).
 ›  M The utilization of an IP network will
allow single applications to be run over multiple end
user devices, all over a single service delivery
network.
 |  
M The two way nature of the IP
network will enable unprecedented interaction
among subscribers, content providers and service
providers.

 
 The viewer will no longer miss any part of
his/her programme if he/she has to attend to
urgent work.
 IPTV ensures high quality of sound and
picture.
 IPTV is not affected by changes in the
weather unlike cable TV and vTH service.
 ·ll the channels that are live and are being
broadcast can be availed through IPTV. Thus,
a viewer does not miss out on any of his
favourite shows that run on Ǯrarely availableǯ
channels.
à|| |
 IPTV is sensitive to packet loss and delays if
the streamed data is unreliable.
 IPTV has strict minimum speed requirements
in order to facilitate the right number of
frames per second to deliver moving pictures.
 The limited connection speed/bandwidth
available for a large IPTV customer base can
reduce the service quality delivered.
  
IPTV supports two kinds of services:

Ȉ m    |, which consists of an emitter which


sends the same content to multiple receivers at the
same time.
Ȉ    |, which consists of an emitter which
sends TV content to single receiver.
In contrast to multicast IPTV every receiver receives
different content. This kind of service can be used to
send personalized TV content, e.g. video on
demand.
 | 
á Video-on-vemand (Vov)
á Stored videos are sent to subscribers on request
á Subscribers receive their own copy of the video
á Subscribers can control playback
à| 
 multicast addressing is a
network technology for the
delivery of information to a
group of destinations
simultaneously.
 multicast uses network infrastructure
efficiently by requiring the source to send a
packet only once, even if it needs to be
delivered to a large number of receivers.

V! à 
·n IPTV system is made up of four major
elements:

| "   
 This is the point in the network at which
linear (e.g., broadcast TV) and On demand
(e.g., movies) content is captured and
formatted for distribution over the IP
network.
 · head end takes each individual channel and
encodes it into a digital video format.
 ·fter encoding, each channel is encapsulated
into IP and sent out over the network.
#  $ 
$% | 
 It can be considered as a delivery mechanism
that enables data to flow from the core of the
network that is connected to video headend
to the network edge.
 The grouping of encoded video streams,
representing the channel line up, is
transported over the service providerǯs IP
network.
 ·t the network edge, the IP network
connects to the access network.
#  
 The access network is the link from the service
provider to the individual household.
 IPTV networks will use variants of asymmetrical
vSL (·vSL) to provide the required bandwidth to
run an IPTV service to the household.
 The service provider will place a device (like a vSL
modem) at the customer premises to deliver an
Ethernet connection to the home network.
# "& 
 The home network distributes the IPTV
service throughout the home.
 The end point in the home networks are the
set top box (STB), to which the television set
is connected, telephones and the home
computer.

 IPTV OVER · IBER ·››ESS NETWORK

 iber optic cable has the ability to transmit


signals over much longer distances than coaxial
and twisted pair.
 The center core of fiber cables is made from
glass or plastic fibers (see fig.). · plastic coating
then cushions the fiber center.
 Bringing fiber technologies and higher
bandwidth capabilities nearer to the user can
be implemented using one of the following
network architectures:
 iber to the regional office ( TTRO)
 iber to the neighborhood ( TTN)
 iber to the curb ( TT›)
 iber to the home ( TTH)
 à 
 · v        
m   (v m) allows telephone lines to
make faster connections to the Internet.
 The function of vSL·m is to connect the subscribers
communicating via twisted pair to the backbone
network.

v

  v        ( v ) is one
form of the vigital Subscriber Line technology, a
data communications technology that enables faster
data transmission over copper telephone lines.
 ·vSLǯs major drawback is that the availability is
contingent upon distance from the service providerǯs
central office (›O).

 à
 IPTV covers both live TV (multicasting) as well
as stored video (Video-on-vemand, or Vov).
The playback of IPTV requires either a personal
computer or a set-top-box connected to a TV.
Video content is typically delivered via IP
multicast in case of live TV or via IP Unicast in
case of video on demand.
There are mainly two protocols used in IPTV :
1: OSP Protocol
2: multicast
 (
 Open Shortest Path irst (OSP ) is a routing
protocol which is used to allow routers to
dynamically learn routes from other routers.
 OSP selects the best routes by finding the
lowest cost paths to a destination.
m |› 
 multicast addressing is a network technology for
the delivery of information to a group of
destinations simultaneously using the most
efficient strategy to deliver the messages over
each link of the network only once , creating
copies only when the links to the multiple
destinations split.
