What is IPTV?

The cooperation between Interoud and
Blusens, as software and hardware
developers, has resulted in the birth
of a true NEXTGEN IPTV system that
is able to fulfil every requirement the
Operator may need. From standard

Video-on-Demand, Time-shift,
personalized advertisement schemes
and sponsorships, direct purchase
from the TV, Digital Signage and more.

audience and improve the return on the investment.
Thus, IPTV by Blusens provides a true added-value tool
to the operator that will, unobtrusively and reliably,
increase the revenue on a system that otherwise only
represents an added cost.

What can IPTV do for you?

Cable TV Operators
IPTV by Blusens full-fledged solution enhances the services the operator
can provide as it is fully interactive in every possible way. Direct TV purchase
becomes a true reality for varied forms of products and services. Also, it allows
the creation of Portals for different On-Demand content, Pay-per-View, and Live
events. Our system enhances the data gathering of user consumption, enabling
the use of complex statistics that will serve as a tool for continuous improvement
and detection of overlooked niche markets.

Hotels, Resorts, Compounds, Restaurants
The complete solution offers a centralized point to control and monitor the guest’s
consumption and usage of the entertainment system, providing useful statistics
that can be used to tailor make the packages offered based on their origin, age
group, income, occupation, etc. The On-Demand content and some LiveTV chan-
nels can be offered in various languages and with captions to provide the closest
sensation to a Home Cinema that a hotel can offer, while giving the Operator a
variety of tools to insert various types of advertising formulas. All fully linked to
the central Building Management System. Billing is, thus, seamlessly integrated.

Hospitals
Added to the general Hospitality functionality, IPTV can record, and make available
to the user network, any workshop, lecture, seminar or procedure carried out in
the facility, thus enhancing the practise and resources available to the Hospital.
The offer to the patient can even include the meal selection from his physician’s
approved menu.

Corporate or Government Networks
The integration of the video streams in an existing IP infrastructure makes
possible the reception of any content on any facility, even on mobile devices. With
an IPTV platform all the multimedia content generated in courses, seminars or
master lectures can be recorded and redistributed live during the event or later,
to feed STB, PCs inside the complex, Digital Signage panels or via an internet web
portal.

Educational Facilities
Using the Corporate services as a base, an education institution may be interested
in adding notes to the video or a real time messaging feature to allow the users
watching a live event like a surgery to share opinions and comments with other
users.

System Architecture

1. The VoDKAST Middleware server creates the STB menus by accessing the metadata information of the
videos from the VoD cluster (movie name, actors, director, etc.) and the EPG information from the live
and playout channels while considering the user access rights and credit information obtained from the
PMS. Thus, the menu is customized for each guest.

2. The hotel operator can fine tune the platform through the management console. The Middleware
Server also monitors the current state of each part of the system and triggers the proper alerts to the
management consoles in case of any problem.

3. The VoD Streaming Cluster stores all the videos in its storage nodes and streams it to the network
through the streaming nodes. The platform allows an unlimited number of streamer and storage nodes
to increase the storage or streaming capacity independently from each other according to the operator
needs.

4. The IP Contribution System obtains the live DVB-S, DVB-C and DVB-T MPEG-2 streams from satellite,
cable or terrestrial feeds and injects them into the IP network as IP multicast streams.

5. The Playout Server generates continuous loop streams of stored contents as IP multicast streams.

6. The NetPVR server stores local recordings of live TV channels to provide time-shifting features to the
platform.

7. The Digital Signage server controls the digital signage screens and split its layout in several regions
that can be filled with any multimedia content, even Adobe Flash.

8. The Ethernet Switches aggregate the outputs of all the servers and carry the video streams to the
screens through the IP network.

9. The integrated solution allows several types of STB and screens working together: Standalone STB
screen, Standard PCs screens and Low or High Connectivity Digital signage screen. Any IPTV content
(live, playout, VoD, etc.) can be displayed in any of the STB types. IPTV Architecture Graphic

42 VoD Streaming Cluster VoD Streaming Cluster 43

The VoD cluster is the group of servers responsible of storing and streaming the on-
demand contents to each STB managed by the middleware. The cluster can be divided Up to 2 Tb Storage Node
into several storage and caching levels with one or more specific node at each level. The
most common approach is to have one or two levels with one node each.

In the first level, the storage nodes store and replicate the multimedia content library.

At the second and further levels, the streaming nodes act as both streamers and caching

What is Digital Signage? What can Digital Signage do for you?

It is a new and cost effective way of increasing brand or product visibility in
public areas. Using IP technology we can create advertising channels that provide Pulsar Digital signage solution allows you to create a multimedia advertising solution for
wanted information and, thus, attract an attention that static advertising may not. providing content to hundreds of screens simultaneously. It also allows you to manage
Furthermore, the marketing campaign can be much more defined and focused, and monitor on real time what is being broadcast on each screen.
issuing the message to the appropriate market profile, at the right location and
time, and creating a far more indelible impression. The playout solution is the simplest digital signage platform and allows you to feed the
signage screens with a full screen sequence of videos, but, if you want more flexibility
for, for example showing more than one video at once, Pulsar Digital Signage platform
is your answer.

The Pulsar video distribution is supported by the most advanced IPTV technologies
providing a high connectivity solution in which the video streams are transferred through
the network as multicast IP streams low connectivity solution in which the multimedia
contents are distributed and then stored locally in each screen, so a problem in the
network won’t affect to the video shown in the screens.

The extensive experience and knowledge of the Pulsar product team, in
both large installation and VoD management, makes it the right tool to
face any challenges related to security, user experience, immediacy and
management of remote locations.

Pulsar is a complete product that enables the operator to have full control,
from a central location, of the full system, including screen layouts, content,
program grill, etc.

Shopping malls, Showrooms, Retail Shops
By melting the powerful advertisement capabilities of the Digital Signage solution
and the flexibility of content distribution through an IPTV platform, a commercial
surface of any size can deploy from one to hundreds of advertising screens in
all its branches reaching more customers and having full control from the
headquarters.



Pulsar gives you the simplest mechanism to
provide the most advanced Digital Signage
experience in four easy steps.



STEP 1
Select the resolution of the output
screen, Pulsar can work with SD,
HD, 16:9, 4:3, etc. Any resolution is
supported.

Divide the output screen space into
any number of regions and select
the size for each region with the
drag and drop interface

It’s even possible to overlap the
regions if desired.

STEP 2
Upload the multimedia content to the server. Any content
is supported MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DIVX, h.264, Adobe Flash
animations and video, JPEG, TIFF, etc.

It’s also possible to associate an external information source
to any resource. This way you can deploy a flash animation
with weather information, and the information to fill the
template will be gathered form Internet.



STEP 4
Assign one of the schedules defined
in the step 3 to any of the screens
available in the network.

The administrator can check in real
time what is being broadcast in each
screen at any moment.

STEP 3
Compose a schedule of programs
by filling the layouts defined in the
step 1 with the resources defined
in the step 2.

The layout can change within
a schedule so you can deploy a
full screen video and then split
the screen in four regions with a
different RSS feed in each.

and inject it in the network as multicast streams. This is the easiest and simplest way of creating Digital
Signage information channels.
Seamless splicing is a technology which calculates on real time the intermediate video frames during
the transition between two videos in a sequence. This means when switching from one video to following,
These streams are created in MPEG-2 TS format and the original contents must be MPEG-2 video as well.
the resulting stream won’t be affected by MPEG-2 video noise providing a clean, smooth transition.
The platform supports both standard and high definition streaming and can schedule even stored and live TV
contents under a common schedule.

Signage Server

With Pulsar Digital Signage server the administrator can manage the whole Digital Signage platform. It
controls the channel generators, composes schedules of screen templates and manages the resources
used to fill these templates.
It’s also responsible of uploading the resources to the channel generators in a completely bandwidth
controlled way. Finally, the server will monitor on real time what is being broadcast in each screen
with the local time in the screen location, triggering the proper SNMP alerts in case of any incidence.

Playout Server Architecture

By using the advanced scheduling functions the administrator can compose multicast TV channels interspersing
Live TV streaming from the satellite or a CCTV camera with local stored advertisements, each 10 minutes for
example.

As the stream created shows only one video at once, a channel generator is not required, but high bandwidth
network is a must. Any problem in the network connection will be reflected in the video on the screens.

The Channel Generators are the devices responsible of composing the final video stream by filling the
template defined at the Pulsar Signage Server with the media contents in a single video stream.

Depending on the reliability of the network the streams can be generated at the head-end level with
high connectivity channel generators.

The low connectivity solution is best suited to deployments where the permanent connection with the
screens can not be 100% assured. In this situations, the STB connected to the screen must have local
storage space to ensure 24x7 signage generation even during a network outing.

High Connectivity

The channel generator can be deployed at the head-end level, and its
output can be transferred through a trusted network.

What´s Facial Recognition?

The Blusens Facial Recognition system allows the manager of a public crowded place to gather information
about the people visiting such venue in real time. Shopping malls, Hospitals, Bank branches, Airports, etc. are
places suitable for this kind of systems.

The system consists in a series of small cameras strategically deployed on specific places, such as
adverstisement or ailes, where the crowd is expected to walk or to stop and pay attention to the advertisement
shown. The system is capable of detecting the face of each person in range and identify the gender and the age,
so the administrator can gather statistics about the kind of people at the venue at any given moment.

The Facial Recognition system can even calculate the number of seconds each person spends in front of the
camera and determine for how long the person was looking to the camera directly during this period. By using
this mechanism the property owner can discover what is the age and gender distribution on a specific moment
of the day as well as if the latest changes in decoration or advertising are increasing the attention spans of the
visitors.

All the information gathered via different cameras is integrated into one single server to create statistics
defined specifically to fit the necessities of every authorized user of the platform. The access to this statistics
and reports can be done from any device (tablets, phones, computers, etc.)

The 4 Factors

1. Gender analisis: difference between menwomen

2. Attendance and Attention. Attitude in front of the camera: Identifies who is looking at the screen or just
standing in front of it

3. Age group: And gives you the possibility to personalize real-time advertisement depending on the age and
gender

4. Traffic Monitoring: Relates people and time as we can know how many people stops in every point per hour.

1000BASE-T standard, meaning that straight-through cables will often work
between Gigabit capable interfaces. This feature eliminates the need for crossover
cables, making obsolete the uplink/normal ports and manual selector switches Avoid heavy weights on the cable
found on many older hubs and switches and greatly reducing installation errors.

Use appropriate clamps

Avoid heat sources

Respect bending radius
