WHAT IS IPTV

 It is a technology that delivers video or TV


broadcasts over the Internet.
 Internet TV, in simple terms, is video and audio
delivered over an Internet connection. It's also
known as Internet protocol television, or IPTV.
 You can watch Internet TV on a computer screen, a
television screen (through a set-top box) or a mobile
device like a cell phone.
HISTORY OF IPTV
 In year 1994, ABC's World News was the first
television show to be broadcasted over the
Internet.
 Term IPTV first appeared in 1995 with the
founding of Precept Software by Judith Estrin and
Bill Carrico .
 Software was written primarily by Steve Casner,
Karl Auerbach, and Cha Chee Kuan.
WHY IS IT REVOLUTIONARY?

 True interactive television.


 See anything you want to see, any time, any
where, on any device .
 Reduced infrastructure costs.
 IPTV works on your existing internet
connection .
 Infinite number of channels .
EARLIER…..
 the only ways to watch television were through
over-the-air broadcasts and cable signals.
 With broadcast TV, an antenna picks up radio
waves to transmit pictures and sound to your
television set.
 With cable TV, wires connect to your TV itself &
these wires run from your house to the nearest
cable TV station, which acts as one big antenna.
IPTV TYPES

 Live broadcasts -
it's like watching live TV on your computer screen.
You can't pause, back up or skip through parts of
the broadcast that don't interest you.

 On-demand videos-
arranged like a playlist. Episodes or clips are
arranged by title or channel or in categories like
news, sports or music videos. You choose exactly
what you want to watch, when you want to
watch it.
How can IPTV compete with
existing TV services?
 Price: Get your telephone, data and video
(called a “Triple Play”) for a monthly cost.
 Return path: watching TV on an IP connected
service allows delivery of a wide range of
extra services from ads to interactive options.
 An IPTV supplier can push out multiple new
channels across their existing bandwidth
relatively easily.
Why is IPTV happening now?

 Bandwidth is important for Internet TV,


because sending large amounts of video and
audio data over the Internet requires large
bandwidths.
STREAMING AUDIO AND VIDEO

 Basic steps to watching streaming audio and


video :
1. A server holds video data.
2. When you want to watch a video, you click the
right command, like "Play" or "Watch." This
sends a message to the server, telling it that you
want to watch a certain video.
3. The server responds by sending you the
necessary data. It uses streaming media
protocols to make sure the data arrives in good
condition and with all the pieces in the right
order.
