An Implementation of SAT-IP Concept in a Local Distribution System for DVB RF to DVB-IP Translation

Abstract The paper proposes solutions for data networks distribution of audio-video information based on the Digital Video Broadcasting over Internet Protocol (DVB IP) standard. Principles of DVB IP standard are described along with two practical methods. A providers proprietary solution (SAT-IP) is presented compared to an open server based system. The server distributes the transport streams over an IP network, by allowing the users to build services like IP Television (IPTV), Over-The-Top Content (OTT), Video on demand (VOD) for TV, iPhone and PC. This paper is focused on the distribution of DVB over IP data networks, a subject targeting the information systems technology and signal and image processing domains.
