Challenges that Cable TV operators are facing:

July 26, 2011 2 Challenges that Cable TV operators are facing Higher bitrates required due to higher TV resolution Support for 3D capabilities in TV/video streams Need for more effective technologies to distribute TV/video cost effective compatible with packet based transport Support for new hybrid networks Support for higher density Edge QAM

What happens in the network when HD and 3D TV is introduced?:

July 26, 2011 3 Limited What happens in the network when HD and 3D TV is introduced? Access Metro Core /3D Set Top Box Edge QAMs Coax Head end Video Server 1. High capacity HD and 3D TV increases capacity requirement in the network. 2. DWDM network is easily and cost efficiently fulfilling capacity requirements 3. The HD & 3D traffic can be distributed in different ways – two alternatives: with routers with Transmode’s Switched Video Transport solution

IP Multicast Distribution in Service Providers Networks :

July 26, 2011 6 IP Multicast Distribution in Service Providers Networks When setting up a network for video distribution it is not enough to just have normal IP Multicast groups Must also be possible to indicate from which source the traffic should be taken Src1 Dest Video traffic coming from Source 1 Src2 Dest Video traffic coming from Source 2 Multi cast address and source address are required to identify traffic flow and/or TV channel (see example to the right) The network/switch must support Source Specific Multicast (Source and Group) is also called Multicast channel Example from Motorola’s SVOM (Switched Video Operations Manager) So…

Supporting IGMPv3 and SSM at the right price point :

July 26, 2011 7 Supporting IGMPv3 and SSM at the right price point Has IGMPv3; which enables the Edge QAMs to “say; I want these channels” Has Source Specific Multicast; which allows the network to forward only the joined traffic flow …at the right price points ! Transmode’s Switched Video Transport solution:

Switched Video Transport is Multicast Aware:

July 26, 2011 8 Edge QAM Edge QAM Edge QAM Switched Video Transport is Multicast Aware Multicast Aware means Listens to IGMP sessions Forwards ONLY the relevant traffic to E-QAMs etc GbE Edge QAM Edge QAM Edge QAM IGMP GbE With “only” N x Mbps TV: OK that all Edge QAMs get all traffic N x Gbps HDTV  Multicast aware N x Mbps TV  Not Multicast aware

Switched Video Transport is Multicast Aware:

July 26, 2011 9 Limited Switched Video Transport is Multicast Aware Dynamic allocation of channels, easy expansion Supports Source Specific Multicast Channel forwarding / Not groups Real IGMPv3 ISP multicast IP addressing and routing Increased robustness against (un)intentional clashes Additional Ethernet services Local insertion of traffic Backchannel etc. Edge QAM Edge QAM Edge QAM IGMP GbE
