IPTV, OTT & Headend Solutions

Headend is the heart of DTT, satellite, IPTV, OTT and cable TV distribution where it is a master facility for receiving signals for processing and distribution over a broadcast television distribution system. Input video audio signals are compressed, multiplexed and then distributed

TV headend components consist of everything from satellite receiver dishes, amplifiers, splitters, decoders, encoders, multiplexers, IP streamers to encryption devices, middleware servers, VoD servers, OSS/BSS, monitoring and testing equipment.

As DTT and satellite broadcasters migrate to HD and seek to deliver enhanced user experience, they are also under pressure to offer more services per multiplex as a means of reducing transmission costs. In many cases recompression is necessary leading broadcasters to more efficient compression technologies. Statistical multiplexing is used on a large scale as a means of obtaining a 30-40% efficiency for a given transmission channel

Growth in content distribution, demand for video streaming, competition and decreased end-user tolerance for stability and quality have made video distribution complex. As a result, operators and video content owners are choosing end-to-end OTT/IPTV solutions that promise to reduce complexity, making TV simple for both client as well as end-user. With increasing internet bandwidth capability, the future of TV is moving towards the internet
