INTRODUCTION:
 IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the
IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the
Internet.
 It is also called as Triple play.
 Can be live or pre-recorded (on demand)
 Usually over managed/closed network.
 Can replace cable and satellite based video and TV broadcast services.
BROADCAST , INTERNET TV, IPTV.
IPTV VS INTERNET TV
 IPTV is a secure closed system with premium content and
managed QoS, particularly for video. The end consumers
have unique personal profiles known to the operator
enabling targeted marketing.
 Internet TV is public and free. It complements IPTV
because operators will typically have a parallel ISP
broadband service.
 Internet TV generally refers to transport streams sent over
IP networks. It has no control over the final delivery & so
broadcast on a “best effort” basis.
 IPTV is delivered over low cost IP STB , which has limited
computing power, which in turn limits the capability of
IPTV to provide diverse multimedia service.
IPTV VS INTERNET TV
 Internet TV rides on existing infrastructure.
 Since IPTV uses standard networking

protocols, it provides lower costs for

operators and lower prices for users.
 Internet TV provided low quality compared to

IPTV.
 Internet TV has many free programs like

youtube, hulu. While IPTV has all paid

programs.
IPTV ARCHITECTURE
FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS
 Content sources
 Service nodes
 Distribution networks
 Customer premises equipment(CPE)
◦ It includes functions such as routing gateway, set-top box and home
networking capabilities.
 IPTV client
IPTV NETWORK DESIGN
It is done using
o IP based network design
• Integration with existing IP
• Dedicated overlay
• Flat IP
o Integration with switched optical network
1.INTEGRATE WITH EXISTING IP BACKBONE

 Backbone links are shared and access links are dedicated.

 Rapid deployment: using existing infrastructure.
 High resource utilization: share bandwidth between applications.
 Drawback: IPTV quality easily impacted by Internet traffic.
2. DEDICATED OVERLAY

 Use common backbone routers to construct dedicated IPTV overlay

 Easy for performance management: links are dedicated
 Overhead to construct the overlay
3.FLAT IP (NO BACKBONE)

• Services routers (SR) directly connected using point-to-point links over

dense wavelength division multiplexors (DWDMs)
• Connect geographically close VHOs into regional rings
• Inter-connect rings with long super links
• No existing infrastructure used
Integrate with switched optical network

• Multicast capabilities at optical nodes (new technology)

• SHOs establish multicast trees, VHO receiving single best stream
• Failure recovery: rapid switch between different paths
PROTOCOLS USED
1. IGMP (Internet group management protocol).
o Used for live TV.
o It is multicast system.

2. RTSP (Real Time streaming protocol)

o Used for VOD.
o It is unicast system.
IPTV ADAVANTAGES
 Triple play service is more efficient,
convenient cost effective.
 It frees up the bandwidth.
 TV viewing becomes more interactive.
 QOS of video and audio is much better.
 Low cost network.
IPTV APPLICATIONS
 Triple play
 VOD (Video on demand)
 Live streaming on PC
 P2P
 Video conference
 DVR (digital video record)
 Interactive Games on TV
 TV based internet services
IPTV CHALLENGES
 For IP TV Services, Content is the key, but operators
need to be mindful of important commercial trade-
offs between content and services.
 Product and technology choices are critical to
ensure that, features delivered must meet the user
expectations and preferences.
 Flexibility to change the hardware components to
meet different market requirements.
 Bandwidth constraint: Ability to provide low bit rate
high quality video services over the carrier
infrastructure and access IP network.
LIMITATIONS
 Requires real-time data transmission and uses the
Internet Protocol
 Sensitive to packet loss and delays if the
connection is not fast enough.
 Picture break-up or loss if the streamed data is
unreliable
 Due to the limitations of wireless, most IPTV
service providers today use wired home networking
technologies instead of wireless technologies.
FACTORS AFFECTING QoS
 Network bandwidth: Any increase in bandwidth demand
that is above the maximum capacity of the link will result
in video packets being lost.
 Impulse noise: the copper loop plant is susceptible to
short impulse noise caused by external sources. These
impulses can lead to large burst of errors, which affects
the video picture quality.
 Packet loss: IP packet loss can represent various levels of
image impairments, ranging from a single, unnoticeable
missing point to the video sequence to a long period of
degraded, pixilated or unavailable images
 Jitter: MPEG2 or MPEG4 video streams are affected by a
phenomenon called jitter.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS FOR TRANSITION TO IPTV

 Better Internet infrastructure.

 Increase in broadband speeds.
 Better compression technology.
 High broadband penetration world-wide.
 Increased high quality content.
 Positive support from major telecoms.
 Better interactive applications.
 Advances in video-on-demand VoD storage
capabilities.
 The development of Secure Conditional Access
CA /DRM solutions for IPTV.
 Next generation, intelligent IPTV set top boxes.
