Why HP?
- Encoding - the processes, equipment, features and management associated with the digitization and ingestion of video assets into the appropriate digital format, profile, resolution and sound configuration for distribution and consumption.
- Video Streaming - based on high-performance HP ProLiant servers, HP VOD-IP supports MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Windows Media 9 Series streaming formats, while addressing concurrent user requirements.
- Content Distribution - the intelligent use of a distributed, edge-serving architecture to push video content to edge servers which avoids bottlenecks and allows greater scalability and improved response times.
- Digital Rights Management - assured content and rights protection through a combination of encryption, licensing and conditional access technologies.
- Middleware - specialized applications to enable the creation, management and presentation of video-on-demand services. This software resides at the network head-end and on the set-top-box. The middleware must interact with video streaming servers, as well as legacy billing and customer management systems.
- Set-top Box - the device located in the consumer household that transforms the TV into a digital, interactive device. Digital set-top-boxes, which are becoming increasingly similar to multimedia PCs, are required to receive broadcast digital television, as well as provide the consumer with navigation capabilities for accessing, selecting and viewing live or on-demand video.
- Management - HP IPTV solutions incorporate proactive monitoring, management and reporting of fault, performance and network service for maximum efficiency and uptime.
