Overview

Once Television could only be received over the air, via cable or via satellite. Today TV can be delivered over Internet Protocol (IP) services with many broadband service providers offering Triple-Play networks with voice, TV and Internet access carried over the same network and delivered as service bundles to subscribers. Even Cable and Satellite operators now wish to converge towards this new common IP approach to enable delivery of TV to mobile devices, tablets and PCs as well as Internet Enabled High Definition TV sets.

To be successful in this new technology, knowledge of both television and networking technologies is necessary. This course will provide these skills using 'hands-on' exercises in a classroom setting allowing attendees to send, receive and troubleshoot IPTV services over in-class networks.

  • Install and use an IPTV Streaming application to stream TV
  • Install and use an IPTV Client to play multicast IPTV
  • Install and use a protocol analyser to decode and troubleshoot multicast protocols
