This document discusses IPTV (Internet Protocol Television), which is the delivery of television content over IP networks. It describes how video is compressed and transmitted using protocols like MPEG-2 Transport Stream, RTP, RTSP, and UDP to allow video to be delivered over the internet. Two common distribution models for IPTV are discussed: multicast for live content and unicast for video-on-demand. Centralized and distributed transport models as well as peer-to-peer distribution are also covered. The document outlines the technical requirements and challenges of delivering high quality IPTV.
We live in the age of the digital packet. Documents, images, music, phone calls all get chopped up, propelled through networks, and reassembled at the other end according to Internet protocol. So why not TV? Today, IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) is creating headlines all over the world. This mass publicity is the result of numerous instances and stories depicting its humble deployments and its future. IPTV is a very useful system, through which you can receive both TV and video signals along with other multimedia services by means of your Internet connection. In nutshell, it is nothing but a broadband connection and a system to deliver various programs of television using the Internet protocol (i.e., language) over computer networks. It is important to remember that IPTV is not like any ordinary television program broadcast through the Internet, but rather it is unique in itself. Its contour is represented by a closed, proprietary TV system which is similar to the cable services present today. But, in contrast, the delivery of IPTV is made via IP-based secure channels, which result in a sharp increase in content distribution control.

High demand for interactive and customized digital TV services will provide strong growth avenues to the IPTV market. Increasing role of the government to increase broadband penetration in India and reducing costs of IPTV services will also drive the market.
The report begins with an introduction to IPTV and its various applications. It also includes IPTV architecture which comprises mainly of various IPTV components likes content aggregator, managed IP network, broadband access network, and in-home network. The IPTV value chain is also provided, showing the various activities handled by the equipment and technology providers, network and service providers, and customer.
This is followed by the market overview section which begins with an insight into the global IPTV market, its size and growth, and total number of IPTV subscribers. It moves on to the Indian IPTV market, its size and growth, total number of subscribers and average revenue per user (ARPU) of IPTV. Interactive applications will play an important role in the future adoption of IPTV and higher demand for them will drive this market in India. Technological innovation and distinct applications offered by IPTV services will drive this market in the future and help it invade into the cable and DTH space.
An analysis of the market characteristics explains the factors for growth of the industry and its key challenges including robust television industry, broadband penetration, cost structure, physical infrastructure and competitive environment. Strong opportunity exists in the market as cost of IPTV services is reducing. This coupled with the fact that the television industry is growing and the trend towards interactive and customized services, will lead to a developing market. However, India lacks the physical infrastructure for IPTV systems, not providing the necessary accessibility to consumers. Stiff competition from existing players like digital cable and DTH also creates a major hurdle for this market.

How can your business benefit from going serverless?Adrian Hornsby
Serverless architectures let you build and deploy applications and services with infrastructure resources that require zero administration. In the past, you had to provision and scale servers to run your application code to install and operate distributed databases and build and run custom software to handle API requests. Now AWS provides a stack of scalable fully-managed services that eliminates these operational complexities. In this session, you will learn about the basics of serverless and especially how your business can benefit from it.

-
Self-Driving cars. Commercial drones. Smart cameras. Movie and music creation. Powerful & intelligent robots. Over the past few years, a new revolution has brought AI almost to the level of science-fiction. However, most companies are not worried about far-off futuristic applications of AI, they want to know what AI can do - today - for their organisations. Distinguishing the hype from reality can be a bit confusing, especially when you consider the attention that AI gets from the media and commentators. So, how can your organisation get started and put AI to work for you? That is the question I will answer in this talk. From greater customer intimacy, increasing competitive advantage and improving efficiency, I will discuss and show how AI can be used today and help the organisation in more impactful ways.
Chaos Engineering: Why Breaking Things Should Be Practised.Adrian Hornsby
As presented at the AWS London Summit 2018
With the rise of micro-services and large-scale distributed architectures, software systems have grown increasingly complex and hard to understand. Adding to that complexity, the velocity of software delivery has also dramatically increased, resulting in failures being harder to predict and contain.
While the cloud allows for high availability, redundancy and fault-tolerance, no single component can guarantee 100% uptime. Therefore, we have to understand availability but especially learn how to design architectures with failure in mind.
And since failures have become more and more chaotic in nature, we must turn to chaos engineering in order to identify failures before they become outages.
In this talk, I will deep dive into availability, reliability and large-scale architectures and make an introduction to chaos engineering, a discipline that promotes breaking things on purpose in order to learn how to build more resilient systems.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Ok !! but how did we get there ?? .... and why??
4. Where it all begin ...
Evolution of High-Speed Internet Access
− Since 1995 ...
− Evolution in Internet access business.
connection, routing and content were 3 separate parts
Then affiliation with third-party providers to create high-speed access combination of
connection and routing
Moved toward a more integrated approach to the provision of high-speed access.
However, content still (mostly) separated from connection and routing.
− Evolution in Broadband technology
XDSL (Digital Subscriber Line)
ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network )
Satellite
Ethernet
But also Optic fiber
5. Remember that one ??
Digital Media Revolution …

Just to remind you !!
SDTV (NTSC)
720 pixels x 525 lines x 24bits (3x8,red,green,blue)x30frames/sec
= 272.16 Mbps
HTDV
1920 pixels x 1080 lines x 24bits (3x8, red, green,blue) x 30 frames/sec
= 1.493 Gbps
Still unsure we need to compress all that ?? :)
7. How to compress ??
Video Codecs
− MPEG-2
− MPEG-4
− WM9
− H.264
H.264:
− up to 50% bite rate saving compared to mpeg4 simple profile
− Consistent good quality for high and low bit rates
− From ~50 Kbps (mobile) to 10 Mbps (broadcast VOD)
− Necessary tools for error resilience (packet loss, bit errors ...)
− Network adaptation layer (transport friendly)

− Avoid confusion in the market
− Lower costs for everybody
23. Now, how can I get IPTV ??
2 distribution models ...
Show me LIVE content
− Multicast stream
− start from where it is
− no control
Show me stored content - VOD
− Unicast stream
− start from beginning
− Control it (play, pause, stop)
24. Distributed and Centralized
transport model
Centralized Distributed
− −
from one broadcast center several systems
− −
easy to set up synchronization
− −
cheaper added costs
− −
bandwidth limitation more maintenance
− very reliable
− no limit on usage
25. But also P2P distribution model !!
Two issues
•
How to form topology between peers?
•
Efficient delivery of video content
•
Current approaches
•
tree-push
•
mesh-pull
•
26. P2P in a nutshell ...
Xiaojun, H., Yong, L., Ross, K. W. IPTV over P2P Streaming Networks: The Mesh-Pull Approach.
2008. IEEE Communications Magazine, February 2008 issue.
27. IPTV and some limitations ...
IP network
− Limited bandwidth (€)
− 1 TV program / channel = 3Mbit/s
− Provider organize the network by group of users
that watch the same channel (multicast_groups)
Not suitable for VOD
28. IPTV and some inconvenience ...
Channel zapping
− Traditional TV, all channel received and decoded at
the same time
− Not IPTV
Channel request for each channel → delay
29. To sum up ..
-> Compressed TV in MPEG2-TS
(DVB service)
-> Sent over IP network
[ts/(rtp/rtsp)/udp/ip]
->VOD or LIVE
(multicast vs unicast)
->Centralized, decentralized and P2P
!! but watch out, IPTV is not InternetTV !!
(not same quality, protocols, architecture...)
30. IPTV offers ...
Triple play
− Television
− VoIP
− Internet access
All in the same connection !!
− Concurrence to traditional broadcasters (terrestrial,
satellite) and Internet providers ...
ALL-IN-ONE = less € !
31. Future .. towards HD IPTV
SD stream: about 3 Mb/s
HD stream: about 8 Mb/s
Demanding on the access network...
− Several televisions in homes, increase bandwidth
− Web-surfing and VoIP should still be possible
...and core network also
− VoD and multicasting don't go together
IPTV is often seen as the driving force for the next-generation
Internet.
