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

IPTV Standard Platform

The development of new technologies over IP Networks continues to contribute to the integration of a variety of Such solutions play a very important role in the
services. These expand from the basic Ethernet network for computer interconnection, to DSL lines for internet hospitality sector as they provide the tools to increase

overall revenue. With this IPTV system, the hotel can

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
