There is a major change taking place in the way that video content is moved around: using Internet Protocol (IP) over telco and other private networks. IP networks are scalable, cost-effective, inherently flexible and available at a range of bandwidths including 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps and 10Gbps. The T-VIPS product range allows broadcasters and network operators to take advantage of this flexibility, resulting in significant cost savings and improved video quality.
The uptake of digital terrestrial worldwide is rapidly growing and an increasing number of countries have begun turning off their analogue terrestrial transmissions. T-VIPS provides market leading solutions that are the preferred choice of major DVB-T operators. Our solutions cover contribution to terrestrial head-ends, IP distribution to transmitter sites and regional processing, multiplexing and adaptation.
Operators around the world are currently evaluating and implementing mobile TV (DVB-H) systems. A challenge facing these operators is how to design a transmission network to efficiently feed a large number of transmitter sites. A solution selected by a majority of operators is the use of IP distribution networks. This offers low capex and minimised opex thanks to the flexibility of the network and the easy access to skilled personnel to operate the network.
Telcos worldwide are currently launching IPTV services to offer a triple-play solution to their customers. One of the challenges they are facing is the low quality of the existing local loop, leading to customers experiencing low Quality of Service, which at worst is manifested as a disruption to the TV signal.
Today TV network operators are experiencing increased complexity through the rising numbers of TV channels, more complex contribution networks and an increase in the number of components that a TV channel is comprised of. Supervising and monitoring the service offering becomes a real challenge and operators would like to automate this process if at all possible.
