The importance of a good and stable digital infrastructure is a prerequisite for today's homes. Indeed, everyone wants to enjoy a comfortable digital environment while being in their own home. This is an important argument in the selection process, also because we are increasingly dependent on access to information. Choosing smart IPTV technology represents an innovative solution for distributing television signals.
In residential contexts, this translates into the ability to offer significant improvements in system optimization, reducing intervention times and costs and simplifying installation operations.
In this guide, we will present to you in detail why smart Iptv television will be best suited for residences .
Implementing smart IPTV in residences is the solution
Streaming technologies have significantly changed the way we search and view content. More and more people want to interact with the television network using their smartphones, tablets, and laptops and watch this content at their convenience. With signal distribution over traditional coaxial networks, this requires additional bandwidth and equipment to process digital signals. Smart IPTV was developed to transport digital signal transmission over digital networks as effectively and efficiently as possible. Multicasting with professional switches is at the heart of this. It is the solution for homes today and tomorrow!
The fundamental advantages of Smart IPTV for residences
We have just partially understood some reasons that prove Smart IPTV is the best solution for residences. In the following, we will discover with much more clarity the various advantages that residences can have by opting for Smart IPTV.
A fundamental advantage is the possibility of combining different types of services, from radio and TV distribution to PayTv, including high-speed Internet.
A modern digital platform that allows for a significant reduction in costs related to the simplification of the structure: there is no need to create a separate network and the same structured cabling can also be used to distribute audio-video content.
Another advantage over coaxial is the greater availability of signals available on the Ethernet network, more flexible management, even remotely, of programs sent in streaming, and the advantage of being able to use them from all LAN sockets with a single terminal (PC decoder and / or IP-TV).
Finally, a fundamental advantage of remote control is the ability to perform both routine maintenance (e.g. changing the channel list) and fault management, from a single station without intervention on the terminals.
The implementation due to the inclusion of management software allows you to manage on a single device, without disturbing other people living in the same residences as you.
So far, we've seen the various benefits of Smart IPTV solutions for homes. Finally, I invite you to discover the various components that enable the successful broadcasting of Smart IPTV.
IPTV Multicast Encoder
The new 3DG-BP-IPOUT module is added to the Fracarro 3DGFlex EVO family, the multicast IPTV encoder that allows you to choose the programs tuned by the 3DGFlex EVO receivers. Then, it sends these programs in IGMP streaming - in Single-Program Transport Stream (SPTS) mode or in Multi-Program Transport Stream (MPTS) - via the IP network sized and prepared for multicast traffic management.
The use of the new generation Headline series control unit is characterized by a high technological level and extreme flexibility.
The use of IP infrastructure to also mix Smart IPTV programs allows for advantageous simplification of the system and significant resource savings.
Innovative features
The IP module (IPTV encapsulator) is equipped with new features that simplify data management.
An example is the SAS protocol which, if enabled, allows the streamer to send program-related information and tables over the network, to improve the use of players such as VLC.
Another interesting feature is the M3U playlist: if enabled, the encoder sends information about streaming programs in M3U format, allowing you to quickly set the program list in the provided IPTV decoders.
Additionally, the 3DG-BP-IPOUT module is prepared for future implementation of new features, such as the integration of content protection algorithms (DRM).
The benefits of backward compatibility
The backward compatibility of the 3DGFlex family is a great advantage, for example when expanding or updating existing installations.
The 3DG-IP module can be used in the same 3DG-BOX basket with existing devices.
This technology allows full, two-way communication between all EVO modules installed on the control unit; meaning that it is possible to manage any interactive content on any module regardless of which module generated it.
The basic parameters of the module (network and IP transmission parameters) can be configured in two ways:
- from the keypad and LCD display integrated into the control unit of the control unit;
- from the web interface using a PC connected to the LAN port of the control unit.
Advanced settings (network group creation, PID management, etc.) are only accessible from the web interface using a PC connected to the control unit's LAN port.
Conclusion
Developments in residential television have occurred rapidly in recent years. The transition from analog to digital television is underway, satellite television provides access to a wide range of television channels, and Smart IPTV (Internet TV) is increasingly being implemented. In fact, today's homes expect to have more access to entertainment and information at home.
