Tiivistelmä
This thesis mainly deals with IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) technology and how it changes the business of television; its development and architectural design; its applications and progress into the future. The goal of the project is to enhance professional networking on both live TV and radio platform, know how the IPTV functions and how it differs from inter-net TV, how it is formatted, transported and delivered to the end users. Equally important, how providers charge for it and make a living.
The study itself was carried out by retrieving information from different sources such as the library, the Internet, through self-observation, and discussions with the chief supervisor and instructor. Different aspects of IPTV are discussed in different phases of the thesis. First, the study introduces IPTV technology, its background and means of transmission. Then, the study entails the architectural design of IPTV, multimedia methods and applications, compression techniques and finally its purpose and role to the growing technology services.
The purpose of the project was to gain adequate practical experience, skills, techniques, and theory by applying previous classroom knowledge to actual principal-like situations in a strategic, organized and supervised environment. The end result came from the fact that in the near future it is likely that IPTV can replace traditional TV technology since it delivers a good supplement business model for service providers, offers better quality of service to consumers, and play a significant role on the fast growing and evolving interactive TV applications such as VOD.
