In the past few years, the "Venus Plan", "Girls' Plan", etc., there is an ok, but due to technical and prices, the real information home appliances can be larch. However, all information appliance developers have valued a regular TV market in China with almost 100% share in China (the proportion of households in urban houses is even higher than this).
With the Internet, in full swing, broadband networks gradually enter the usual people's home, based on the information appliance products on the broadband network information platform, it is well known to the public. Statistics show that the domestic 50% of the family wants to have information appliances, and the IT product of the IP digital set-top box in "Information Appliances" is used to implement the IT product of the VOD on-demand function, which will become the first choice for information home appliances to the people's home. Its birth is a new huge business opportunity for broadband operators in China, which also indicates that China's broadband network services will enter the universal era.
Business species needs to be enriched
Currently in the traditional way, there is a need for TV stations in the hotel, renting satellite channels, but also purchasing a complete set of systems, STB terminal equipment and program content. The IPTV system can make full use of live channel equipment investment and system equipment investment. For example, the original system has its own EPG server in every hotel. 100 hotels will invest 100, and now only need to invest 1 EPG server. I.e. And hotel centralized management, data analysis is relatively complete and accurate.
The existing analog TV model in the radio and television can only realize the playback method of broadcast form, and digital TV is currently developing slowly, relative to IPTV technology is not mature enough. Currently, IPTV has enabled various forms such as on-demand, broadcast, live broadcast, round broadcast, and graphic. Moreover, in the case of bandwidth allowed, the display effect can reach the quasi-DVD effect, and even the high-definition / HD effect can be reached.
IPTV is a set top box video on demand system based on broadband IP network. It is bearing with broadband IP networks, with ordinary TV sets to display equipment, through technology independent intellectual property, broadband platform, to broadband personal users and group users, high-speed video on demand services and high-speed TV Internet services. Its application can be extended to many areas such as telegraph education, corporate training, family entertainment and agricultural information, have extensive application prospects.
The hotel's IPTV system generally needs to provide several major class services such as TV live, video on demand, local characteristics.
Live TV
Live TV refers to traditional TV services similar to wireless TV, cable TV and satellite TV. The system has good support for live TV services. External TV signaling includes: satellite TV, cable TV, DVB, etc., in the transmission of network support Next, the system can provide users with live television services to the user through Multicast, which is the highest in the utilization efficiency of network bandwidth; if the network does not open multicast support, the system can provide a single broadcast method to provide services for users.
Local feature
Some businessmen, medium-sized hotels, mainly accommodated business people in foreign trade, they have a long time to travel, and they are not very familiar with information on Suzhou's local specialty snacks, players, leisure and entertainment, etc. The system can provide a local feature information barrier.
Video on demand
The hotel users put forward the need to increase the currently popular big-sized program. For the current system, the general feeling is relatively lag, especially the on-demand of the movie and the on-demand of the TV series, the reflection of the hotel customers is to keep up with the movie point in the system. The current market epidemic trend should have considerable income in on-demand, and it is the development of edge on-demand services such as midnight theater. In our survey, every hotel has put forward a strong It is suggested that all the hotels are full of confidence in the revenue of this on-demand service.
other service
Since the IPTV system is based on IP network-based network TV services, based on this feature, in addition to supporting video services and announcement services, you can also support a series of special services such as email, network stocks, online games, and continuous development in IPTV. In the future, the system adds more featured services to meet the needs of different users.
Hotel IPTV System Features
IPTV is different from traditional analog cable TVs, also different from classic digital TV. Because, traditional and classic digital televisions have the characteristics of frequency division, timing, one-way broadcasting, etc.; although there are many technological innovations relative to the analog TV, it is only a change in signal form, and does not touch the media content. Propagation mode. IPTV is an infrastructure using broadband cable TV, with a home TV as a main terminal appliance, providing a variety of digital media services including television programs through the Internet Protocol. Features in:
* Users can get high quality (close to DVD level) digital media services.
* Users can have a wide range of freedom to select video programs provided by our website.
* Implement the substantive interaction of media providers and media consumers. The playback platform used by IPTV will be a typical representative of a new generation of home digital media terminals. It can configure a variety of multimedia service functions according to the user's choice, including digital TV shows, visual IP phones, DVD / VCD play, Internet tour, email , As well as a variety of online information consultation, entertainment, education and business functions.
* Provide broad emerging markets for network developers and program providers.
Therefore, the hotel IPTV system requires the program production function, program distribution function, programplace play function, system management functions, and reasonable structure, no need to use third-party software to flexibly carry out a wide-top-top box video on-demand service based on broadband IP network.
Since the network bandwidth of the current local is different, it is good, the IPTV system designer needs to automatically adapt according to the bandwidth of different regions, and the supportable code stream is between 400K (VCD effect) to 2M (HD digital TV), Meet the needs of different people.
The IPTV system should adopt a distributed architecture that enables high-definition video on demand applications on the broadband metropolitan area IP network, providing high-definition video enjoyment for broadband network users while maximizing network resources. Television browser technology (Browserfortv) can clearly present the rich content on the Internet with a TV set.
To ensure system security, the server and key components of the IPTV system need to use firewall settings. A software firewall control Telnet, FTP, and VOD service is licensed in the portal server, the program library server, and the VOD server system. The front end of the accounting subsystem is provided with a hardware firewall to avoid unauthorized user access billing data. To ensure data security, sensitive data is encrypted when transmitting between web pages and servers. The protocol used by the encryption includes a DES (128-bit high-grade encryption method) and a custom data encryption method.
IPTV systems can use regional distributed design ideas. A portal server can manage multiple video servers. When the system is expanded, it is only necessary to add video servers, and benefit from distributed ideas, the relocation or decrease of video servers is very simple, so that the system has strong scalability. Program storage uses a single-point streaming media server to add hard disk arrays. Single equipment is serialized for many hotels, maintenance, and stability are more stronger than usual. You can seamlessly seamlessly seamlessly without stopping system services. The storage capacity is longed to expand.
The hotel IPTV system should adhere to the design idea of "unified management, unified billing" operation system, running platform based on network development and market positioning in broadband IP metropolitan area. At the same time, the system fully considers the scalability of the system and the scalability of the content, which is conducive to smooth upgrade and content update, so there is a strong operational operation.
OSS is the key
The OSS system is a business support platform for operators to manage, workflow management, user management, billing and accounting. It mainly includes content management issued subsystem, accounting subsystem, external interface management, and customer management. As the OSS system that supports IPTV, it is a bridge that connects the front desk EPG system and the background CDN system. It is the core of the IPTV system with the business acceptance system, the content management distribution system, and the on-demand billing system. It is the core of the IPTV system. It is the IPTV system Heart.
Program release
The program is published as the core business of the OSS system, which is the process of publishing the film content provided by the content provider through the content management of the OSS system and the release system to the EPG system. The content resource can be easily published to the EPG system by accessing the program publishing platform provided by the OSS system.
When IPTV operators have released the content provided by CP, the procedures for reviewing, production, and release are operators who have completed themselves, and IPTV operators are regularly recalled with CP; SP is due to their own movie distribution system, SP operators can The movie content provided directly through the OSS system after the internal audit is provided on the EPG system, and the corresponding permissions can be set, and then the IPTV operator is notified after the system's workflow system.
Local consultation information release
The official documentation information publishing system is very similar to the content publishing system, which is that the official document system is only in the form of a graphic, and the customer can see the latest information announcement information through TV view.
advertising
Advertising publishing can be published in the form of graphic or film and television, the process is the same as the program publishing system.
Billing
The hotel IPTV customers pay the cost of the IPTV service while the IPTV business is paid. The general billing strategy can use Baotian (Hotel IPTV customers pay basic usage fee every day, and hotel customers can see live broadcast channels and some free movies), and single (hotel IPTV customers can watch the part of the front package) The film charges the cost, charges the fees according to the unit and only charges the same film during the stay).
