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 methodology to distribute 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 codec is acceptable, actually preferred based on economics and maturity. If you cannot sustain this bit rate per node, you should consider using MPEG 4 Part 10 or AVC. The AVC codec is certainly the codec 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 codec best fits your current and future requirements. Understand that a mixed use of codecs is OK, actually essential for your operation. Just the same as Analog and Digital TV coexist today, MPEG 2 and MPEG 4 will do so too.
Conditional Access is essential, not an option. Be certain that both transport and affiliate rights are negotiated with the program providers, having a network, head end, 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.
