IPTV
B2Digital, Inc. (BTDG.PK) is exploding into the Internet
Services and burgeoning Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) markets.
We are currently perfecting our technologies utilized to convert
standard cable television networks into streaming digital network
television systems through the use of digital compression
technology. Under this concept , we will be able to provide
subscribers not only high speed cable internet services but total
DVD quality video and HDTV services in a single high speed delivery
medium.
IPTV is a system where digital information is delivered using the
Internet Protocol over a computer network infrastructure, rather
than being delivered through traditional formats and cabling. In any
digital information delivery system, the volume of content that can
be delivered is limited by the bandwidth available in the delivery
medium. In a traditional format network, all of the available
viewing content constantly flows downstream to each customer, and
the customer chooses the viewable content at the set-top box. The
customer can select from as many choices as the service provider can
fit into this pipe flowing into the home. An IP-based platform works
differently. Content remains in service provider's network, and only
the content the customer selects is sent into the customer's home.
Under this system, the customer's choice is less restricted by the
size of the pipe into the home and more bandwidth is freed up to
deliver more available content to the customer.
By freeing up this available bandwidth, we are able to deliver a
broader range of digital services using existing delivery mediums.
The IP-based platform offers significant advantages over traditional
information delivery systems including the ability to integrate
television with other IP-based services like high speed Internet
access and VoIP, the ability to offer the viewer a more interactive
and personalized viewing experience and most importantly, increased
bandwidth availability.
Challenger DTTS-7000 Digital Compression Transmission
System
In conjunction with transparent Video Systems (http://www.transparentvideo.net/), we have
co-developed and recently begun testing of the Challenger DTTS-7000
Digital Cable Transmission System to implement these systems. The
initial test of the Challenger box is the culmination of many years
of research and development designed to create a system that would
deliver true IPTV content through co-axial cable to customers of
existing cable companies. The potential of this new box is
tremendous, as it offers numerous advantages over existing hardware
infrastructures including:
- Delivery of DVD quality content through an analog network over
co-axial cable;
- The addition of more pay-per-view channels easier and without
the costs of purchasing expensive tank filters due to the 1:7
compression feature of the Challenger box;
- Smaller cable providers will be able to overlay and underlay
internet services onto their existing technology platform, using
existing bandwidth, as a result of the considerable digital
compression features afforded with the Challenger box;
- An emergency alert system that eliminates the need for the
smaller cable provider to purchase the emergency alert system
infrastructure;
- Control over the customer experience by allowing cable
providers their own TV Guide through an internet-based format, as
well as channel re-alignment features and numerous other features
without any need to communicate with an uplink; and
- Significantly reduced costs. The accompanying set-top box for
the Challenger box costs approximately $80 versus $300 for
competing set-top boxes.
