SI3000 MCS - MULTIMEDIA

CARRIER SOLUTIONA member of the SI3000 OSAP product family

Iskratel has developed an end-to-end carrier-class multi-media solution using the company’s own equipment and knowledge in combination with solution components from world-class partners. The solution provides a flex-ible, highly managed and controlled content distribution network for an up-to-date, carrier-grade, business-to-con-sumer service development.

By choosing the Iskratel solution that best utilizes the existing carrier’s infrastructure, the carrier simplifies deci-sions regarding new technologies and business models.

E2E SERVICE MODEL ACTS AS ALL-IN-ONE PROVIDER

Iskratel uses a business model where the service provider aggregates the content, offers the entire infrastructure,services, develops and charges the subscribers for the content packages. The service provider can also distribute its content to other service and access providers.

CONTENT PROVIDER HOSTING MODEL where the content provider and service provider use content revenue sharing model

This model assumes the service provider hosts multiple content providers and is not responsible for the content. Each content provider has an independent portal with a customized look. Content usage is metered centrally the subscribers are billed either by the content provider or the service provider. The revenues are shared between the content provider and the service provider.

CONTENT AND SERVICE RENTING MODEL

In this model, the service provider offers content and multimedia service infrastructure to other independent carriers. Each carrier has its own service portal. The users are charged independently by the carrier. The business relationship between the content provider and the inde-pendent carrier is based on fixed or per-usage terms.

Partnership with world-class vendors

By carefully selecting the best products from world-class

vendors and combining them with the best of Iskratel we

offer a first-class carrier-grade end-to-end IPTV solution.

CONTENT PREPARATION ELEMENTSHeadend Live content enters the system via a satellite dish, a terrestrial antenna or directly from the content provider. The provider is able to insert useful channels, a logo-type or commercials.

Real-time encoding

The SI3000 Multimedia Carrier multi-service streaming platform encodes, trans-codes, transrates and recasts all currently interesting formats for fixed and mobilevideo applications, including MPEG-4 (H.264) and VC-1. The platform integrates most of the encoding/streaming technologies in a box solution type, which adopts carrier standards regarding stream quality, redundancy and flexibility.

Offline encoding and content editing

The offline encoding system transforms various content formats from differentsources into a format compatible with other solution components. The system is server based, equipped with capture cards and edit-and-cut applications for modifying the content. The system is connected with the archiving system to store the transcoded content, where it is available for distribution to VoD servers.

SERVICE ELEMENTS

Video servers

Video servers are the core elements for building and deploying video ap-plications in broadband networks, because they store and stream all on-demand content.

Application servers are used to serve subscribers with various appli-cations and are added to the service network, according to the proposed services model.

Portal servers act as an interface between subscribers and services served through middleware and application servers.

Security elements

The security technologies used in the SI3000 MCS are Conditional Access (CA) to provide enable access to the content to authorized subscribers only, and Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology to set the condi-tions of content use. The system is optimized for the IP networks to provide minimum network and CPE utilization, flexible package options, supportfor distributed environment and redundancy.
