Our Products: IPTV / IPCCTV IPTV “If a picture is worth a thousand words, consider just how powerful a Video is” With the ever growing popularity of video in every day lives, modern educational providers are increasingly considering how the transmission of this important medium can enable its use as an effective teaching aid in the curriculum of tomorrow. The proposed IPTV system will be used to homologate the various systems in use today so that the School / Academy will have a single, simple to operate user interface to draw upon the currently disparate sources of this material, whether it be from Freeview, BSKYB, Archived Material on VHS tape or DVD, Video on Demand servers or online sources such as the JANET network. This will reduce the learning time required for the teaching staff to gain familiarity with the system and hence provide a vastly superior service and educational environment. In addition, network administrative staff’s time may be usefully deployed in other areas as a single system shall require significantly less overall maintenance, thereby reducing the burden in ongoing operational costs. The majority of educational, government and corporate users are adopting a Microsoft Windows Media® based platform given its native compatibility with a predominantly Windows based PC domain. The proposed IPTV system for the School / Academy shall retain this approach and shall therefore unify the differing video formats that may be presented to the system into a Windows Media format and may hence provide automatic interoperability with the Virtual Learning Environment and Content editing platforms such as Windows Movie Maker. There may be some need, depending upon the future requirements to utilise a small proportion of the system for MPEG2, primarily due to its inherent low latency and therefore suitability for real time, bi directional video traffic such as conferencing. Importantly, the use of a Windows Media Environment shall also reduce the load on the network by reducing the high bandwidths and undeterministic bandwidths inherent in older generation DVB MPEG2 transmissions and make them suitable for retransmission on the Academy’s IP network. This is especially important if we consider that the full Freeview DVB-Terrestrial channel line up alone (unaltered) equates to approximately 130Mbit/s of constant and real time traffic. Furthermore, because of the manner in which
these channels are originally statistically multiplexed, it is
impossible to define precisely the amount of bandwidth each channel
occupies from one moment to the next and this presents a real dilemma
to the network architects unless the streams are modified in some
way. IPTV System Components The proposed system is based upon the highly developed EtherneTV system from VBrick Systems, currently in operation in over 900 educational establishments worldwide and who have recently been named as the worldwide market leader in this domain. It provides a turn-key digital distribution system for video, audio and rich media. The reference diagram illustrates the various components and products that make up an EtherneTV installation. TV over Twisted Pair - Scion Change your RJ45 Socket to a TV outlet. Scion hardware broadcasts television pictures and sound across cat3/5/5e/6 twisted pair cable delivering HD quality. The system, plug and play has all the attributes of a conventional SMATV solution only using twisted pair cable rather than Co-axial. The benefits of this is it can be deployed on to existing LAN’s without the expensive re-cabling costs. IPCCTV Converged solutions open arms to IP CCTV for full network control. IP Cameras are a competitive alternative to traditional co-axial solutions. UCS recommends Mobotix range of cameras with free download software for management monitoring.
