The constant changes of technology always bring you the
latest in broadcasting capabilities. IPTV or Internet Protocol TV is totally
different from conventional broadcasting via satellite dish, antenna or general
fiber cable wire. This newer technology needs a device that has access to the
internet. You can surf the channel if you have a television or computer. Older antennas
work with radio waves. It converts them into electrical signals, and television
does the job of decoding. But IPTV works as an advanced storage technology. It
can capture the live program and broadcast it at the same time. It also gives
you the flexibility of storing the program for watching later.
Job of the Providers
It might be very simple from the viewer’s point of view, but
as an IPTV provider, your business needs to know more about this technology. You
should have a system that has high storage capability. This allows you to take
the videos you want to display to your viewers, and the subscriber can choose
programs according to their choices. You need to encode a program that a viewer
wants to watch, and place it in a format so that everybody can stream it from
any device.
Different Types of IPTV
IPTV service is of
three types. The most popular one is video
on demand. Viewers have to pay a sum of money for the programs they want to
watch. By paying the bill, they will have access to getting the latest
entertainment, wherever and whenever they want. Some production companies upload their programs in a season based on the
gap of few months. The second one is time-shifted.
This kind of TV displays the video after a week. You can watch it anytime, and
anywhere you like. The third one is live streaming broadcasting.
Advantages of IPTV
IPTV operates via computer networks, so no wiring is required.
Ordinary cable wire-based networks give you limited channels with the high
definition version, but IPTV gives you the full HD version of picture quality
in your HD streaming TV. You can’t control your program if you are using the old cable
version, but you can be fully in control while watching this new version of the
technology.
