Adtec Digital's enterprise-level IPTV solution provides leading technology with unmatched value. Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is rapidly developing as the next distribution platform for delivering television services for educational, medical, enterprise, military and residential applications. The compelling force behind IPTV is leveraging existing IP infrastructures like Ethernet, xDSL, Fiber or similar broadband networks to deliver television adjacent to existing services - including telephone and broadband Internet to complete the “Triple Play”.

IPTV Considerations
When considering IPTV as a method of Digital Television (DTV) delivery, there are many factors to review. IPTV must be primarily viewed as an enabling mechanism for distribution of television and advanced services in residential, enterprise, medical, educational, military, and other network enabled applications. The average required bandwidth per viewing node is roughly 30 Mega bits per second (Mbs). This provides support for 1 MPEG 2 HD, 2 SD, T1 data speed, and many VoIP services concurrently. Is your network capable of this? If so, then use of the mature, established, and pervasive MPEG 2 is acceptable and actually preferred based on economics and maturity. If you cannot sustain this bit rate per node, you should consider using MPEG 4 Part 10 (AVC). It is certainly the encoding standard of the future and it will offer a 25% bandwidth savings on SD and nearly 50% savings on HD services. Assess your objectives and budget accordingly prior to deciding which standard best fits your current and future requirements. Just as Analog and Digital TV coexist today, MPEG 2 and MPEG 4 will interoperate on IPTV systems for the forseeable future.
Another important consideration is your Set Top Box vendor. In the same manner that you mix headend vendor gear, Adtec believes using multiple set top box vendors is key. Select a vendor that falls within your budget while offering value and capabilities required today and tomorrow.
Conditional Access is essential, not an option. Be certain that both transport and affiliate rights are negotiated with the program providers. Having a network, headend, CA, and IP Set Top will do nothing without content.
With all of this in mind, approach IPTV with the basic business fundamentals used when reviewing other capital expenditures. Be patient and meter your expectations, have reasonable ninety-day, six-month, and one-year objectives. Now that IPTV has asserted itself as viable technology, it’s time to consider how you can put that technology to work for you.
