Overview

This course provides an overview of digital television, MPEG encoding and IPTV delivery for use on modern CCTV services. It is intended for system engineers, developers, managers, technical engineering service and support staff who need a hands-on introduction to TV systems being delivered over broadband services.

The course will include demonstrations and hands-on exercises. Attendees will be invited to connect their own Windows based PCs or Laptop computers to the in-class network and take part in the hands-on demonstrations.

Objectives

When you have completed this course you will be able to:

  • Describe in detail modern digital CCTV delivery
  • Deploy CCTV encoding systems using MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and H.264
  • Analyse MPEG transport stream encoding
  • Identify how MPLS could be deployed in large IPTV services
  • Examine key issues of Quality of Service
  • Build simple IP based VoD and Multicast Live CCTV services
  • Use PC based protocol analyzers to analyse the key IPTV protocols
