For (broadband) service providers

Although technologies for IPTV video on demand content delivery and protection are advanced and available today, the focus of the AXMEDIS solution is on showing the automatic nature of the value chain relationship between video on demand content producer/wholesale distributor to IPTV service provider for end users.

In this demo of B2B automatic content production and distribution for IPTV, content producer VRS  Grupe (http://www.vrs.lt/) produced and made available some trial video content for TEO IPTV service.

VRS takes the following steps to produce content for streaming to the AXMEDIS compliant STB:

  1. Using AXCP and MPEG TS Adaptation Plugin produces AxObjects for TEO
  2. Sets usage rights and conditions, defines metadata
  3. Places the AXMEDIS objects into P2P network (AXEPTOOL)

TEO VOD content manager manages AXMEDIS content and makes it available for its IPTV service trial subscribers:

  • TEO VOD Manager automatically or manually downloads videos from P2P
  • Manages users and content on TEO Content & User Management Portal
Content & User Management Portal
  • Generates reporting about usage information, billing, etc.
