Uni TV & Phone Service(Using All in One Set Top Box)
UniTV Service is an integrated system for real-time distribution
of video, voice and data content directly to the TV sets and/or
Home Entertainment systems of its subscribers. It features centralized
user authentication, dynamic media distribution, and distributed
media processing. The system supports multiple voice and video
formats(TV & Phone Service) and can deliver content in multicast and/or unicast
modes, depending on the particular provider requirements. As
all system components are manufactured by UniBells, they interoperate
seamlessly with each other which speeds up system deployment
and significantly reduces integration costs at the service provider
level.
UniTV will provide more than 200 channels included Korean Channel
(YTN,MBC,SBS etc., Real-time) and USA major channels, also Korean
Radio Channels and USA Nationwide Phone Number, Korea's Official Internet Phone Number 070,
China's Phone Number plus Unlimited call to USA & CANADA,KOREA and CHINA plan.
Unlimited Service Scalability
UniTV System supports unlimited service scalability.
Every media distribution service can be upgraded by adding additional
iptvSwitch Streaming servers and/or comboSwitch Media Concentrators
to guarantee that the all system subscribers are properly serviced.
If the system is implemented in a LAN environment, the multicast
transport mode can service virtually unlimited number of subscribers
by simply broadcasting the media content.
Dynamic Media Distribution and
Load Balancing
UniTV System supports dynamic media distribution
and load balancing. If one iptvSwitch Streaming server reaches
the limit of its subscriber connections, the system will roll-over
to an alternative server to allow transparent flow management
and load balancing.
Distributed Media Processing
UniTV System supports distributed media processing
where every infrastructure component has its own role and load
management specifications. For example the system will encode
MPEG-4 media files and then broadcast them to all iptvSwitch
Streaming servers for subscriber distribution. Whenever possible
the system will spread and balance the load of different tasks
to different servers
Centralized Media Authentication
and Subscription Services
UniTV System supports centralized authentication
management, subscription, and billing services. Each media request
will be authenticated and billed by the Content Management and
Billing server. The system will also build media channels and
insert advertising content dynamically. Universal Media Feed Types
UniTV System supports universal media types to
allow conversion of multiple popular media formats to MPEG-4,
MP3 and AAC compression formats. All conversion is done in real-time
with low delay by the comboSwitch Media Concentrator. Once the
files are properly converted they are distributed over broadband
connections to subscribers by the iptvSwitch Streaming servers.
Low-Bandwidth Requirement with
High-Quality Media Output
UniTV System supports high level of compression
to allow low-bandwidth, high-quality content distribution (less
than 800 kbps per channel). This low-bandwidth footprint allows
easy implementation in any broadband environment and support
for global media content distribution at affordable price levels.
Support for Multicast and Unicast
Media Transport Modes
UniTV System supports multiple media distribution
transport modes. Unicast mode is used in distributed environments
where clients connect via HTTP/TCP or UDP protocols to retrieve
media content from the iptvSwitch Streaming servers. Multicast
mode is used in LAN environments where subscribers receive media
content via multicast broadcasts, thus allowing unlimited service
scalability.
Centralized Content, Channel
and Advertising Content Management
UniTV System supports media content management
services, including media object and channel management and
dynamic advertising inserts. The system supports both sequential
and scheduled programming with direct advertising inserts. There
is no need for a human operator to switch media content objects
and provide advertising insertion services.
