IPTV@IBC2009 Special Report
Enterprise applications for IPTV are trending toward single solutions that
address all media vehicles across a corporation, educational campus, hospital,
museum, sports venue, conference centre, or other institution. They need to
deliver live, programmed, and on-demand content over an IP network
simultaneously to desktops and flat-panel displays while providing a consistent
user experience. Such institutions also need to be confident that the video
assets are secure, only viewable to authorised viewers and viewer
communities. Almost all of these institutions require central control of all
viewers - who can see a given media asset and when. Among the drivers of
this trend is the desire to replace inflexible, and often costly, cable installations
with IP infrastructures that extend media availability out to every desktop, user-
controlled TV environment, and public-area display within the organisation.
