"Planet
Vision is about
providing high-quality video and multi-media content on a streamed/downloadable
or pushed basis to enable the delivery of IPTV, MATV, VoD, nVoD & Dynamic Digital
Signage via the web's IP protocols using planet Broadband Powerline or Cable
Access network and displayed on your TV set or monitor at
your premise."
What technology
is involved?
MPEG-2 is the most widely
supported video codec in the TV industry, but it isn't the most efficient for
IPTV.
The services running today have proved that MPEG-2 can be delivered over
broadband, the downside being MPEG-2 is very bandwidth "hungry"
Planet Vision provide our DDMC
(Dynamic Digital Media Content) service over MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) and in
some cases Microsoft's Windows Media Video 9 codec which dramatically reduces
the bandwidth requirements, enabling media systems to carry more high
definition channels.
This service is delivered to the home or your place of business across your Planet broadband or existing high
speed Internet services to a set-top-box and the content is accessed via
the TV or LCD/Plasma monitor.
Your set top box acts as a web browser with your TV as the monitor and programs
are searched by customized guides containing video search abilities.
