Drodzy Czytelnicy,
i znowu jestemy, jak wielokrotnie w ostatnich czasach, w punkcie zwrotnym producenci TV staj przed zmian. Decyduj, ktrego typu gowice stosowa w swoich odbiornikach TV. Przez ostatnie kilka dekad odpowied bya prosta w kadym odbiorniku naleao instalowa analogowy tuner. Jednak z chwil nadejcia cyfrowej telewizji naziemnej odpowied przestaa ju by taka oczywista. Logicznym rozwizaniem mogoby by nie instalowanie adnego tunera i pozostawienia decyzji klientowi - jakiego typu odbiornik zechce doczy do telewizora. To chyba jednak by nie zadziaao. Jakby to byo, gdyby producent oferowa widzowi telewizor bez gowicy? Tylko zcze HDMI i nic wicej? Waciwie, producenci telewizorw mogliby nawet zrezygnowa z pilotw zdalnego sterowania, bo przecie ma je kady odbiornik-dekoder. Najprawdopodobniej klienci nie kupowaliby takich telewizorw mimo, e pomys jest sensowny. Podobnie jest z telefonami komrkowymi musz mie wiele funkcji, gdy inaczej nikt by ich nie kupi mimo, e cechy te maj si nijak do telefonowania. Telewizory musz take mie dug list funkcji, inaczej nigdy nie zeszyby z pki sklepowej. Producenci telewizorw nie maja innego wyjcia jak tylko integrowa w swoich produktach tunery TV, a skoro tak, to dlaczego nie tuner cyfrowy do telewizji naziemnej? A skoro tak, to dlaczego by nie doda tunera satelitarnego, a na dodatek doczy jeszcze IPTV? To wyeliminowaoby zupenie zapotrzebowanie na odbiorniki. Nie tak szybko! Odbiorniki nie stan si za chwil bezuyteczne. W rzeczywistoci obserwujemy co wrcz przeciwnego. Producenci telewizorw musz przede wszystkim robi to, czego chc klienci, a oni chc mie zainstalowane tunery do cyfrowej telewizji naziemnej. Kady kupujcy telewizor bdzie w stanie odbiera taki sygna tego wanie oczekujemy od telewizora. Ale czy kady klient bdzie mia anten satelitarn, albo podczenie do szybkiego internetu dla IPTV? To zaley od kadego indywidualnego przypadku. Telewizor nigdy nie bdzie zawiera wszystkich moliwych dodatkw. Producenci odbiornikw s zbyt innowacyjni i nieustannie rozszerzaj i modykuj moliwoci swoich produktw w kadym aspekcie. Oto tylko jeden z przykadw: telewizor nigdy nie bdzie odbiera radia, a przecie kady odbiornik zapewnia odbir radia. Odtwarzacz multimedialny, albo PVR rzadko pojawia si w telewizorach, gdy funkcje te niewiele maja wsplnego z klasycznym rozumieniem telewizji prezentowanym przez producentw. Za to s to cechy, ktre klient spodziewa si znale w swoim odbiorniku. Szansa na to, e ktrego dnia telewizor bdzie mia wszystkie te cechy, ktre dzisiaj posiada odbiornik jest znikoma. Telewizory bd zawsze miay wbudowane tylko funkcje podstawowe, za wszystkie cechy dodatkowe bd znajdowa si w zewntrznym odbiorniku. Tak jest teraz i tak pozostanie. Odbiornik jest i bdzie kluczowym elementem wykorzystywania telewizji i mediw!

IPTV Operator Software System Part 1
NetUP IPTV Combine 4x & Amino AmiNET130M

Professional software for IPTV operators
Thomas Haring
After having discussed the streaming function of the NetUP IPTV Combine 4x in TELE-satellite issue 10-11/2010 it is now time to have a closer look at all the features required to create a user-friendly OSD (on-screen display) for customers and to help them use all IPTV functions on the one hand, as well as to assist operators in maintaining full control over what type of content is available to end users, and what price they have to pay.
The IPTV Combine 4x was the focus of an in-depth test report in TELE-satellite
issue 10-11/2010.

All IPTV receivers in the network can be provided with software updates from the central rmware update server 3. Various OSD themes (skins) can be created, edited and saved on the IPTV server 4. IPTV operators can decide to have OSD texts translated into any required language 5. A web interface is available to launch, quit and adjust all IPTV Combine 4x services 6.

be used: The more simple version consists of the web server which creates and provides HTML pages and JavaScript applications, which in turn are made available to IPTV receivers which then display all corresponding information on the end users screens. In such a system the middleware takes over the role of
trol as well as marketing. Every time an IPTV network is set up to make money you need extended middleware, such as the IPTV Combine 4x from Russian company NetUP. The receiver component of the NetUP middleware is written in C++, runs directly on the IPTV receiver and therefore allows lag-free use of all features, even in
there is the server end (IPTV Combine 4x Server) which provides all required information. And then there is the client end (IPTV receiver) which receives this information, processes all data and creates a graphic userinterface. As these two components need to work very closely with each other all of the time, middleware and

web server, while the IPTV box at the client end acts as web browser. While this is a system that can be set up and implemented easily, it does not serve any commercial purpose, as IPTV operators have no billing option and no way of controlling access to content. The second middleware category is more complex, but at the same time more versatile and much more for useful as a business application. It is based on IPTV boxes that are not only capable of displaying received information, but can also communicate with the middleware so that they cannot only create a nice OSD for end users, but also assist in billing, content and cost con-
connection with a high-definition on-screen display, which is an important aspect these days and in particular in future.
Middleware
Strictly
speaking,
the
IPTV box must be compatible with each other. If the NetUP IPTV Combine 4x is the middleware of choice operators can choose from a number of compatible IPTV boxes. For the purpose of this test report we have selected the AmiNET130M from Amino. All features and congurations of the NetUP IPTV
NetUP Combine 4x middleware consists of two distinct components: For one,
Combine 4x are partly controlled via a web interface which is used to launch, activate, deactivate and set up individual services such as streaming, middleware, VOD, etc. More detailed settings of the middleware, the billing system and the video-on-demand system are accessed through the socalled United Control Center.
5. Individual channels and their IP data within the IPTV network 6. Various packages with differing content 7. User account administration
We already dealt with the web interface in our rst test report in TELE-satellite issue 10-11/2010, and now we take a closer look at the United Control Center. It is basically a Java application which thanks to this universal programming language can be run on different platforms such as MS Windows, Linux or Apple, where it is used to control the entire content management system. The United Control Center main menu is made up of four elements: billing, middleware, nVOD (near videoon-demand)/VOD and DRM (digital rights management). The last two elements, TVOD (TV-on-demand) and DRM are proprietary solutions of NetUP, which were not part of our test system and which therefore cannot be evaluated in this report. With the a simple click icon on the video-on-demand content) into packages. This allows creating a starter package, for example, which includes only limited content, or an extended package with fullrange content. In order to grasp the underlying logics of the NetUP IPTV system we have to put ourselves in the role of an IPTV operator. This begins with starting to think and act like a commercial operation. As most of us come from terrestrial or satellite reception we are used to the fact that all content is always available to all users. Even if were talking about subscription TV we simply obtain a smartcard and all of a sudden encrypted content is available on screen as well. IPTV is different in a fundamental way: Thanks to direct communication between end user and IPTV operator, complete with return channel, it would be a total waste of resources to send all content to all customers all of the time in the rst place, only to then grant or restrict access (as is the case with terrestrial and satellite TV). Instead, IPTV operators create individual packages for a single customer or a certain group of customers. Lets take a hotel as an example: The hotel owner makes a certain range of basic TV and radio channels available to all guests, the price of which is included in the room rate. Therefore, we use the middleware to group together all required TV and radio channels by letting the system know the corresponding IP addresses and ports after we have congured them via the web interface of the streaming component of the IPTV Combine 4x. In order to simulate a realworld scenario we design a package with three HD channels, three SD channels as well as two radio channels from two different satellites. The IPTV Combine 4x is equipped with a total of four DVB/S2 tuners (see test report in TELE-satellite 10-11/2010) and so we are at liberty to select content from up to four different transponders or satellite positions. We then bundle these

eight channels into a package labelled Basic. Next, it is time to think about making money. To that end, we decide to create two additional packages, one with current movies, and the second with live sports coverage. The procedure is the same as for the Basic package, with conguring the individual TV channels using the web interface of the streaming server, before determining their IP addresses and ports using the UCC. All these steps can be car-
ried out intuitively thanks to the excellent user interface of the United Control Center and the web interface. All options and functions are
more or less self-explanatory, so that its almost impossible to go wrong when setting up the system. Its even possible to add a chan-
nels logo and short station description apart from the channel name, which offers added value to end customers who are able to nd 31

their preferred channel more quickly. It goes without saying that the same is true for radio channels as well, and for video-on-demand content which can be stored on the IPTV Combine 4xs internal hard disk. Several hundred hours of video t easily on the built-in 1TB hard disk. Stored content can be added to any package in the same way as a TV channel through the middleware. During special events (for example Olympic Games and the like) individual channels can be added for all to enjoy for a pre-set period of time, after which they will automatically disappear from the channel list again. This allows planning ahead so that hotel staff (in our example) does not have to deal with technical changes and system maintenance under pressure. In our test scenario we are looking at a professional IPTV system in a commercial framework, so that each IPTV channel also has to feature program information. After all, if hotel guests turn on their TV they want to know right away which event they are currently watching and whether or not there is anything on they would be interested in later that day. In order to implement this feature the NetUP IPTV Combine 4x offer two options. First, it is possible to take over program information for streamed channels right from the original provider via satellite, cable or DVB-T. This will also be the most reasonable and practical way to go in most situations. In addition, no additional costs occur. If, however, a TV or radio channel that is streamed over the IPTV network does not supply program information, the IPTV
Combine 4x middleware also allows adding EPG data manually for each channel. When we tried out both features in our test every nook and cranny seemed to work as intended and as smoothly as possible. Now that we have set up all basic functions of our virtual IPTV network we continue with looking at an appropriate billing system for our offering. Simply click on the Billing icon in the United Control Center main menu and youre right where you need to be.

as on-demand content are available to this guest until all credit has been used up. The IPTV Combine 4x even does currency conversions so that guests can be shown the current account credit in their own currency, if the hotel decides to implement this feature. The nal step is customising the IPTV receiver in the guests room, so that it actually offers and displays all content the guest has paid for and/or is authorised to watch. The obvious way would be using the individual boxs MAC address or serial number, but once again NetUP has gone the extra mile and offers a brilliant feature for generating an activation key for each client on the IPTV Combine 4x server. This activation key has to be entered in the IPTV receiver to obtain access to the IPTV network in the rst place. At the same time, with this key the IPTV becomes an individually addressable and controllable IPTV reception point, no matter where in the hotel it is located. This way the IPTV receiver is sent information about the current guest, the length of his or her stay at the hotel, and any available credit the guest has available. It is
even possible to unlock all channels for 24 hours after the guests arrival and then lock extended channels again hoping guests will want to keep watching the full range and pay for the service accordingly. If guests now choose to watch content that is not available with the free Basic service they may simply use their remote control to select and activate additional content using the in-room IPTV receiver, provided they have bought enough credit at reception beforehand. Any credit used up for such extended content is automatically deducted from their account, with reception being able to monitor all transactions or even assist guests who might prefer to order content via phone rather than working with the IPTV receiver. As far as the NetUP billing system is concerned, we were just as impressed with all its features and ease of use as with the middleware options. Obviously, it takes a little time until you are able to use all tools to the fullest, but after only a short while everything seems as to be easy as ABC and in everyday use youll most probably be in awe at how smoothly the system works.
Billing
For the sake of simplicity, lets stick to our idea of a major sports event that should be made available at a hotel through IPTV. Obviously, all IPTV receivers need to be hooked up to the IPTV server for such a distribution network to work. This means that in theory each receiver has access to all of content, unless access is restricted by making use of the return channel capability. The IPTV Combine 4x billing feature is based on the assumption that each customer is entered in the system with his or her full name and has an individual customer account which can be used to activate and deactivate access to certain content on an individual level. In our hotel setting, for example, the Basic package would be available to all guests without extra charge. If hotel guests then decide to watch additional channels or content, they are able to top up their personal account at reception with an amount of their choosing, lets say USD 50. Reception staff uses the NetUP IPTV Combine 4x billing system to add that amount to the corresponding guest account so that additional channels as well

In our rst NetUP IPTV Combine 4x test report we mentioned that the server is equipped with a 1TB internal hard disk with enough capacity to store several hundred hours of video content. The les need to be in transport stream format (MPEG-2 or H.264) in SD or HD resolutions and can be added to packages much like TV channels. If required, different on-demand content can even be offered at different prices. The middleware menu of the UCC is used
VOD Video On Demand and nVOD near Video on Demand
14
to administer on-demand content. While video-ondemand is a fully customised service that makes available content individually for every single guest at a time of the guests own choosing, nVOD (near video-on-demand) is a service that repeats certain content at pre-dened times in a loop, so that guests can watch a movie, for example, every full hour. This means that with nVOD guests are not in a position to determine the start time of an event as opposed to true VOD. With nVOD, on the other hand, several guests use the same stream, using up less server and network capacity than true VOD. It makes perfect sense for operators to push nVOD over VOD by offering lower prices for nVOD, for example. The NetUP IPTV Combine 4x supports both nVOD and VOD and the UCC has a dedicated menu item for setting the start and end times of nVOD events. Here, too, we were impressed at how versatile and user-friendly the NetUP system behaves. It didnt take us much longer than a couple of minutes to set up our in-house nVOD system and store a number of current movies on the IPTV Combine 4xs built-in hard disk. The system can process up to 50 simultaneous videoon-demand streams, which means that in large set-ups using nVOD instead of VOD may be a wise move in order not to push IPTV network capacities to the limit. Incidentally, video-on-demand content can be transferred to the IPTV Combine 4x from any PC using an FTP client.
client end is displayed on screen using an OSD system. NetUP provides three OSD skins (themes): HD, SD and simplied SD. IPTV operators can freely choose the skin that best ts their purpose and are able to adjust each of the three skins, if need be. This allows offering several OSD languages, for example, or changing colours and display modes. The creative potential of IPTV operators can be exploited to the max and we, too, simply loved to try out various visual solutions. It has to be said, though, that these settings cannot be made with the help of a graphic user interface but need to be programmed directly in the les of the selected skin. Luckily, the user manual explains all relevant steps in detail, so that it rst looks trickier than it actually is. One of the benets of
software optimised for use in such businesses. Of course it, too, comes with all standard features that are useful for most applications (hospitals, large yachts, cruise ships, education institutions, etc.), but also features additional options focusing on hotels. The hotel version is available as an option and connects the IPTV system to frequently used hotel software suites such as MICROSFidelio, for example. The following additional features are then available: Individual welcome message in room via TV and IPTV receiver Hotel information screen via TV and IPTV receiver Displaying all hotel charges via TV and IPTV Displaying messages from reception via TV and IPTV receiver Express checkout Ordering room cleaning service via IPTV receiver This way hotel guests are not only provided with TV, radio and VOD content via IPTV right in their room, but the in-room TV and IPTV receiver also take over the role of multimedia control panel for most hotel agendas.
Conclusion
edged small IPTV and
With its IPTV Combine 4x NetUP has in store a fullysolution for medium-sized
IPTV networks consisting of up to 500 reception boxes. Our test revealed that only are the range of features, the absolute ease of use and the logical concept of the IPTV Combine 4x truly impressive, but it is actually real fun to work with a system that offers everything you need in everyday use and is genuinely user-oriented. Even though we looked long and hard there was hardly any aspect worth criticising. If there is one point we would like to raise its the user manual, which we would have preferred to be slightly more detailed at some stages. If this is the rst time you deal with IPTV it will be very difcult to set up the IPTV Combine 4x server, even with the help of the manual. Then again, we can safely assume that anyone investing a lot of money in the NetUP system will also be able to afford a technician to take care of the initial setup. Once that is completed it is virtually childs play to control, service and adjust the system.
an IPTV system is that the server is in direct touch with all connected IPTV boxes at all times. This way, updates, changes to OSD skins or any other conguration adjustments that will have to be made from time to time can be sent to all IPTV receivers fully automatically. The NetUP IPTV Combine 4x does not only come with a DHCP server for automatically assigning an IP address to each box, but also boasts a DNS server which takes care of correctly addressing content, a time server for maintaining the right date and time on all IPTV boxes, and an update server for providing new software and updated receiver. There is actually a reason why we have come up with a hotel scenario for our test: NetUP offers a dedicated version of its IPTV Combine 4x for hotels, with optimised settings to IPTV

Now that were through with the features and potential of the NetUP IPTV Combine 4x server its time to have a closer look at one of the compatible IPTV boxes. We have selected the AmiNET 130M from manufacturer Amino. One of the most striking characteristics is its small size, which measures only 114x102x35 mm, and its solid build quality. The chassis is made of genuine aluminium, which suggests the box is built to last.

you want or need to place the receiver in an upright position to save valuable space. Also included in the package are HDMI cable and remote control with a convenient design and nicely laid out buttons that provide just the feedback you require. At the time of our test the operating manual was available in Russian only, but even with additional languages provided in future chances are you will never need to open it. This is because contrary to a satellite receiver an IPTV box receives its entire OSD and control interfaces from the IPTV server and requires no user input in this regard. IPTV server takes over the task of setting up your box. All required settings and parameters are provided by the IPTV server, which means they will always be correct. While in theory this almost sounds to good to be true, in actual use the DHCP server of the IPTV Combine 4x must be activated so that each new IPTV box within the existing IPTV network is assigned an individual IP address immediately and automatically. This at the same time makes sure the box is able to receive IP data from the server and its DNS server. So we rst have to activate all required functions via the web interface of the IPTV Combine 4x and dene a range of IP addresses to be assigned to IPTV boxes. Only then can we connect the AmiNET130M to our at screen TV via HDMI and to the IPTV network with an RJ45 cable. Finally, we connect the supplied power unit to the mains. The box powers up, immediately detects the IPTV Combine 4x server and downloads all software elements. One minute later this process is nished and we are asked to key in a valid activation key.

Before we even begin with the rst step we have to discard conventional thinking stemming by and large from satellite receivers. Terrestrial, cable or satellite receivers come complete with pre-set software and all we need to do is hook up all required cables and press the ON button. Its a totally different story with an IPTV box, which runs via middleware and therefore has no integrated default operating software. With the middleware structure an IPTV box connects to the IPTV server which then provides the user software. This is to make sure both IPTV server and IPTV box are perfectly compatible with each other, and it makes setting up a new box so much easier. After all, theres nothing you can do wrong if the

The Radio section is not shown right below the TV channels section, which presumably is for commercial reasons. We should still like to mention it at this stage, as it is organised just like the TV section. The second menu item deals with Video-ondemand content, which is organised according to name, group or genre. Every available film is shown on the upper area of the screen complete with its title. The screen section dedicated to EPG information in TV mode shows extended information about each video-on-demand (text, cover image, price, etc.). If you decide to buy content you only need to press the OK button, with the price of the film being deducted from your credit. Purchased on-demand content is shown in a dedicated sub-menu that lists all content you have purchased with your available credit. This is also the menu section you may use to select and activate near-VOD content. Thanks to the sheer size of the IPTV server hard disk it is possible to make available quite an impressive range of on-demand content, and a virtual keyboard assists customers in looking for specific content. User-friendliness is the key to success, and with
the solutions provided by NetUP chances are customers will use the on-demand feature more readily. The Personal account section provides access to user data, selected packages and account credit. Here, customers can also upgrade to an extended package or look at all past transactions (credit topup, used credit). With this feature in place customers can change packages, buy on-demand content and keep a check on purchases without requiring assistance from hotel staff (as in our test scenario). This gives customers full control while not wasting valuable staff resources. In the Settings menu it is possible to change OSD language and appearance, and for service technicians to call up information on IP data and other relevant network parameters. The range of features of the AmiNET130M is completed with the Extras section of the main menu. All timer entries can be listed here, and a rather basic but nonetheless very functional web browser is available for surfing the web. To that end a virtual keyboard is shown on screen, and frequently visited sites can even saved onto
a favourites list for easy access at a later stage. During our test we noticed that NetUP has also thought about implementing basic functions in TV, radio and on-demand modes. For example, the colour-coded function keys can be used to change the language of the current event (in case more than one is available), and a smartly designed info bar is inserted in the lower section of the screen every time a new channel is selected. Apart from channel name this info bar also shows program information for the current channel. We were impressed at how quickly a new channels shows up on screen it only takes about one second, and together with very fast reaction to commands sent from the remote control zapping is real fun with the AmiNET130M. During playback of ondemand content it is of course possible to rewind and fast-forward (at different speeds) and pause. A PVR system at large, however, cannot be implemented with the IPTV set-up tested by us.
each
option for our test environment, so the AmiNET130M first wants to know our preferred skin and presents us with all available OSD languages. As soon as these basic settings are determined the IPTV box switches to the first available channel and TV viewing please is about to begin. With a touch of the MENU button the main menu pops up on screen and is divided into six sections with the skin we have chosen before: TV channels, Radio, Video-on-demand, Personal account,
Settings and Extras. The TV channels section shows a list of all TV content available to the respective customer. If required, individual entries can be added to a favourites list for quick access. EPG data is available either for a single channel or as an overview so that it is easy to check at a glance what is currently shown on available channels. It is of course possible to call up EPG data for events on coming days, and timer entries can be created directly by marking an event so that the box will automatically switch to the corresponding channel before that event starts. The system we tested, however, does not support a PVR feature for selecting events to be recorded.

Conclusion
The fectly capable
AmiNET130M and
IPTV well-
box from Amino is a perbuilt IPTV box. Contrary to DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C reception IPTV boxes come
without default software, which means our conclusion covers the Amino box as the hardware component on the one hand, and NetUP as software provider on the other hand. To put it short, the Amino hardware leaves nothing to be desired. Whats more, the build quality achieved by Amino surpasses that of many competitors and easily sets an example when it comes to workmanship. The same goes for the remote control
that comes with the IPTV box. Apart from its highquality appearance it can also be used as a universal remote to control all currently available TV panels who could ask for more? Thanks to the fact that server and receiver are in perfect harmony the IPTV box is in a brilliant position for exploiting all features provided by the IPTV Combine 4x. In particular, we appreciated the simple
and logical control of the box which should be selfexplanatory even to the technologically challenged. If you add to that the complex control module of the IPTV server for business applications the two are a perfect match. With a whole range of customisable settings the IPTV Combine 4x together with the AmiNET130M should to the trick for almost any scope of application.

The New IPTV Standard OIPF

Yun Chao Hu is president of the Open IPTV Forum. He
discussed the future of the OIPF standard with TELEsatellite during the rst OIPF workshop held in Asia.
54
OIPF is the new global standard for Internet TV OIPF is already in use in Singapore and Taiwan The new standard incorporates existing technologies and specications OIPF has the same specications world-wide, making it THE standard for Internet-based TV applications
It was exactly four years ago, in March 2007, that ve telecom heavyweights founded the Open IPTV Forum, with major players such as Sony, Samsung, Philips and Panasonic, but also with telecom companies focusing mainly on the Internet, like France Telecom, AT&T and Telecom Italia. Added to that were corporations from the mobile sphere, such as Ericsson or Nokia Siemens Networks. What started with nine founding members has meanwhile grown to 66 OIPF member companies, all of which have dened a single goal: to establish a uniform global standard for TV services via Internet (IPTV) and stimulating a horizontal retail market for IPTV end devices. On the journey to this goal the challenge does not lie in video and audio transmission more than enough established standards are used for that already. The tricky part is interactivity and personalization, as that is the main distinguishing feature of IPTV when compared with terrestrial or satellite reception. In the past, each IPTV provider seemed to do its own thing, developing applications and technologies that best t its particular purpose. IPTV had become a playground for unregulated proprietary developments, and that is exactly what hindered further growth. Software engineers and hardware manufacturers were having a hard time trying to incorporate as many of these diverging developments as possible, which at the same time meant too much energy had to be wasted on developments and technologies that would simply come and go. Yun Chao Hu is the president of OIPF, and we had the pleasure of meeting him during an OIPF workshop in China. There is a solution in sight, he states. A uniform standard that is accepted and implemented by all players and that establishes a level playing ground for all interested parties. The challenges that come with creating the new OIPF standard are twofold: For one, there is no need to start from scratch again and re-invent something that is already available at our ngertips. Rather, existing standards should be the foundation onto which the new OIPF standard is being built. Secondly, all applications that arise from IPTV interactivity need to be integrated into the open standardized application enablers. The OIPF specications will address the necessary application enablers that will be the basis for an open application ecosystem securing transparency towards the IPTV application developers. This will ensure that the application development will be independent of the IPTV middleware and the specic IPTV end-devices. The increased availability of IPTV applications will enrich the end user Quality of Experience of the standard based IPTV deployments, Yun Chao Hu adds. Interactivity does not only mean that end users i.e. TV viewers select the channel they want to watch from a list of offerings by using a remote control to send a request to the provider. Theres way more to it. The OIPF standard creates a log with information about which channel is currently being watched, how many times a new channel is selected and at what time channels are switched. This way a user prole with a precise viewing pattern can be created to provide valuable information for advertisers and content providers. Commercials can be inserted at a time that creates most viewer attention and a whole range of offerings can be tailor-made to maximise their effect. In order to collect the required data there needs to be an established and uniform standard across platforms. Whats more, the OIPF standard denes how advertisements and other offers are transmitted to the viewer. As you can see, simply watching TV is already based on a rather complex technological structure. If we now consider pay TV or pay-per-view both of which also have to be implemented in the OIPF standard it becomes plain for all to see that establishing a new standard involves overcoming a great many stumbling blocks. And then theres the Internet, which offers even more possibilities, according to OIPF marketing director Monika Gadhammar: Interactive EPG, video calling, chatting, le sharing, online voting, mobile TV and the like are only some of the applications that can be real55

manager of OIPF. Here she can be seen in front of a presentation of all current Open IPTV Forum member companies.
ised. To give you an example: If a phone call comes in while you are watching TV the callers number and name will pop up on the TV screen. If you decide to accept that call the system automatically starts PVR recording so that you are able to continue watching after hanging up, without missing a single second. This just goes to show that the list of possible applications is virtually endless. Major landline phone companies and Internet service providers are free to implement as many features as they think fit, and thats one of the major draw cards of the new OIPF standard. Yet, all these features that are made available to consumers are only one side of the coin. The other is the fact that all features need to be implemented at the providers end and the OIPF is the right answer for that as well. OIPF president Yun Chao Hu adds that OIPF is already being used in large-scale test set-ups. Theres the NIMS project in Singapore, and another one in Taiwan. Both make sure OIPF can make the quantum leap from developers playground to real-world application. OIPF is right on track to becoming a reality of TV viewers in the future!

A Look Behind the Scenes:
The New OIPF IPTV Standard in The Making
This modern ofce
complex in northwestern Berlin (Germany) houses the Fraunhofer FOKUS institute. A range of other well-known telecom providers also rent ofce space here. The Fraunhofer FOKUS institute participates in exhibitions as well and can be found exhibiting at the CeBIT in Hanover, IFA in Berlin, IBC in Amsterdam and IPTV World Forum in London.
One of the strong technical partners of the Open IPTV Forum is FraunhoferGesellschaft from Germany, which has been looking at IPTV since 2005. We wanted to learn more about their approach to that topic and met with Robert Seeliger, the OIPF project manager at Fraunhofer. He occupies an ofce on the fourth oor of a recently built ofce complex in northwestern Berlin (Germany). Yet, its not only Fraunhofer 60
which is renting ofce space at this building, but also other well-known businesses from the telecom eld. One of them is Media Broadcast, a satellite broadcaster on which TELE-satellite reported only recently in issue 08-09/2010. We started out with asking Robert Seeliger about the nature of FraunhoferGesellschaft. Naturally, he can ll us in with all the details: Fraunhofer-Gesell-
schaft employs a technical workforce of 17,000 and generates an annual turnover of 1.7 billion EUR. Were not talking about a commercial company here, but rather an association with an exclusive focus on technical research. Some 30% of Fraunhofers budget are received from the German state, with the remaining 70% being generated from commercial corporations with all sorts of manufacturers. Some monies also come from the

Robert Seeliger is OIPF project manager at the Fraunhofer FOKUS institute in Berlin. Here he shows the institutes website on his monitor. Apart from the new OIPF standard FOKUS also looks at another interesting development: a universal operating system that can be implemented in mobile phones, set-top boxes, TV sets and so on. You can nd out more about that project at www.webinos.org.
receivers. To this end we use the CEHTML programming language, Robert Seeliger explains. Its the same language that is also used for HbbTV, for example. CE stands for consumer electronics and is perfect for calling up and displaying media content.
What is CE-HTML?
HTML is the programming language used to create web pages. You do not have to be an accomplished expert to realize that the web pages you surf on with your PC or a laptop are not so easy to navigate when displayed on the TV screen and handled with a remote control. There are several things that make reading and navigating them difcult: - sometimes simply the font is too small to be read from a distance by a regular TV viewer - they often require a mouse action or keyboard entry rather than the directional arrows and OK button that the regular remote control units have - they lack a highlight that show the user what will happen when he/she presses the OK button - they use different audio/video object implementations - they use specic extensions like Adobe Flash that require more software and more powerful hardware to be used than is available in popular consumer electronics equipment Therefore, the manufacturers of consumer electronics products decided to create a special version of HTML and called it CE-HTML. More precisely, CE-HTML is based on XHTML and has additional extensions. The pages created with CE-HTML are well suited to be viewed from a distance and be controlled with 4 arrows and an OK button. CE-HTML can be used to create the regular (online) pages but also to create the user interface screens of the CE devices you use at home, like digital TV receivers. Additionally, CE-HTML simplies interfacing of various multimedia devices you use at home. We can say that thanks to such standardization efforts like CE-HTML, the development of new CE equipment is faster and simpler, and the compatibility between different brands and models is better. CE-HTML is already incorporated in CEA-2014, HbbTV, OpenIPTV and Digital Living Network Alliance industry standards. There are already TV-sets on the market which are CE-HTML compatible.
European Unions research funds. Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is divided up into different institutes. We currently run 57 institutes, each of which does research on a specic eld, Robert Seeliger goes on. One of the institutes caries the name FOKUS, which is the German acronym for Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communications Systems. FOKUS consists of seven departments and one of these departments is FAME, short for Future Applications and Media, with a permanent staff of 40 employees. The FAME department within FOKUS deals with the new IPTV standard. It is headed by Dr. Stefan Arabnowski, with Robert Seeliger running the project group that looks at OIPF. Altogether we are 15 scientists, Robert Seeliger explains, which means employees with a degree in either software development or engineering. Their work consists mainly of looking at technological niches
and developing solutions for them. IPTV has been around for some time, which means huge efforts have already been put in doing research in this eld, Robert Seeliger continues. Our job is to dene gaps that are still around and then combine all aspects to arrive at a point where all the pieces of this puzzle fall into place. By the way, this particular Fraunhofer institute can proudly look back on an extremely successful Internet development: We were the ones to come up with the Session Initiation Protocol that is being used for VoIP, Robert Seeliger reveals and lends further proof to the fact that Fraunhofer scientist are spot on when it comes to developing solutions that are required in a real-world scenario. One task on the path to the new OIPF standard is to design a HTML-based user interface for implementation in IPTV
Several monitors and boxes in the lobby of the Fraunhofer FOKUS institute display applications

Lisa przyjanie wita wszystkich odwiedzajcych.
Pan Smile wyjania powd przejcia na nowego dostawc. Ale co z tymi ISDB-T? Pan Smile mwi, W drugim kwartale 2011 roku bdziemy wprowadza odbiornik kombo z DVB-S2 i ISDB-T, zbudowany na rodzinie chipw Mstar 782X. Ale Sowell koncentruje si nie tylko na rynku poudniowoamerykaskim; Europa znajduje si take w obszarze zainteresowania rmy: W trzecim kwartale wprowadzimy odbiornik kombo z DVB-S2 i DVB-T2 oparty o chipset Mstar 785X, ktry take jest kompatybilny z Linuksem. Na czwarty kwarta planuj jednostk multimedialn. Bdzie ona oparta na nowej rodzinie ukadw Trident Apollo pierwszej, w ktrej moliwe jest przedstawienie OSD w formie 3D. Poniewa bdzie to odbiornik multimedialny, nie tylko OSD bdzie mogo by w 3D, ale take gry, a take inne aplikacje mogce wykorzystywa grak trjwymiarow. Jeli przyjrze si rozwojowi produktw w rmie Sowell, mona doj do wniosku, e rma jest bardzo blisko klienta. W Ameryce Poudniowej jest ISDB-T, za w Europie DVB-T i 3D. To najpopularniejsze nowoci na tych rynkach. Skoro chce si by tak blisko rynku, naley dobrze rozpoznawa najbardziej
wszystkie razem do kupy, co dao nam jakie 70 000 USD kapitau pocztkowego. Nazwa rmy po chisku brzmi Shi Wei. Pragnc j przeksztaci na co dobrze brzmicego po angielsku doszli najpierw do Siwei, a pniej zdecydowali si na Sowell, gdy brzmiao to lepiej. Nazwa rmy pasuje do naszej lozoi, cignie Eagle Chain, chcemy wszystko robi so well (ang.: tak dobrze). Piciu partnerw stworzyo na pocztku rm stricte programistyczn. Ju po piciu miesicach bylimy gotowi sprzeda producentowi nasze pierwsze oprogramowanie , wspomina Eagle Chain, chodzio o oprogramowanie do ukadu Conexanta. Dziaalno jako wycznie rma programistyczna trwaa tylko przez par lat. W roku 2006 Sowell wyprodukowa swj wasny odbiornik. W owym czasie byy to odbiorniki DVB-S dla rynku bliskowschodniego. Dyrektor Sprzeday Amanda podaje nam wicej szczegw: Do roku 2009 dostarczalimy wikszo naszych produktw na Bliski Wschd, ale w roku 2010 zaczo to si zmienia. Podzia geograczny wyglda nastpujco: 80% na Bliski Wschd, 15% do
Europy i 5% do Azji Poudniowej. Rok 2011 przyniesie jeszcze wicej znaczcych zmian; zaczniemy eksport do Europy Wschodniej, a przede wszystkim do Ameryki Poudniowej. Ale zaraz, czy powiedziaa Ameryka Poudniowa? Przecie to oznacza chyba odbiorniki ISDB-T! W ten sposb traamy do Pan Smilea. To jeden z piciu zaoycieli i nie tylko Zastpca Managera Generalnego, ale take, a moe przede wszystkim, Dyrektor Dziau Bada i Rozwoju. A przy tym wszystkim jest on take Managerem Produkcji. Dostarcza nam najnowszych wieci na temat produktw rmy. Jeszcze do niedawna, wszystkie sprzedawane z sukcesem odbiorniki Sowella byy oparte na ukadzie ST7101. Paleta produktw zawiera odbiornik DVB-S2, jak tez dwa warianty kombo: DVB-S2+C i DVB-S2+T. Najnowsza seria odbiornikw zaprojektowana zostaa w oparciu o chipset z NXP. Sowell przedstawia j w ogoszeniach na amach TELE-satelity. Zalet chipw NXP jest nie tylko korzystniejsza cena, ale take wiele dodatkowych cech multimedialnych, jak rwnie kompatybilno z Linuksem,
podane w danej chwili cechy produktu. W trakcie rozmowy z Eagle Chainem jasnym staje si, e obserwacjom i analizom powica si tu sporo czasu. Eagle Chain podaje przykad: Jestem zachwycony Applem i jego produktami. Oni s precyzyjnie nakierowani na uytkownika kocowego i std ich ogromny sukces. Eagle Chain konkluduje w nastpujcy sposb: My mamy podobne nastawienie z naszym oprogramowaniem, mianowicie chodzi o dziaanie jak najbardziej przyjazne uytkownikowi. Dokadnie z tego samego powodu Eagle Chain sceptycznie ocenia kierunek w jakim rozwija si IPTV, cho z punktu widzenia TELE-satelity, temat ten rozwijany jest z entuzjazmem. Wielkie rmy telekomunikacyjne chc tylko sprzeda uytkownikowi kocowemu swj pakiet programw. Koncentruj si tylko na sposobie dziaania ktry im pasuje. Chain uwaa, e w IPTV nie bierze si pod uwag potrzeb uytkownika, ale tylko korzyci operatora. Nie ma tu podejcia typowego dla Apple. Manager Generalny Sowella, Eagle Chain zastanawia si nie tylko nad przyszoci IPTV. Ma te na uwadze ogln przyszo odbiornikw. Czy odbiornik przeksztaci si w przyszoci w jednostk multimedialn, pyta Eagle Chain, czy te funkcje odbiornika zaczn by stopniowo przejmowane przez telewizor? To pytanie zadajemy sobie wszyscy i nikt jak dotd nie zna pewnej odpowiedzi. Ale nawet nie znajc odpowiedzi, w Sowellu optymistycznie patrz w przyszo. Pan Smile zdradza nam, e jego obecny zesp 40 inynierw zostanie rozszerzony do 80 w roku 2011. Tu w Shenzhen zatrudniamy te piciu inynierw z Europy, odpowiadajcych gwnie za wsparcie klientw, dodaje Pan Smile. Dyrektor Sprzeday Amanda jest rwnie optymistyczna: W ostatnich latach udawao nam si zwiksza sprzeda w tempie 50% rocznie. W roku 2010 nasza sprzeda wyniesie okoo 30 milionw USD, a na 2011 spodziewamy si 45 milionw USD. Manager Generalny Eagle Chain dodaje jeszcze wicej optymizmu: W roku 2011 planujemy otwarcie naszych biur w San Paulo dla rynku

FEATURE
New Generation Tuners
Silicon Tuners
Jacek Pawlowski
Miniature tuners with great advantages More sensitive Extremely fast BlindScan Economical
of 54dB and a noise figure better than 6dB. These numbers significantly exceed the parameters of a typical can tuner. Also, other characteristics, like uniformity of gain, are very constant across the entire frequency band something that is very difficult to achieve with can tuners. There are already ICs available that offer additional very exciting features like a complete channel scan of more than 100 channels in less than two seconds (chip makers claim that the channel lock is a mere 5 ms as opposed to 150 ms for the can tuner) or advanced picture-in-picture (PIP) television technology providing multiple PIP capabilities that let the viewer watch up to 12 video channels simultaneously around the main channel. The key success factor in this case is the innovative internal design architecture that enables spur-free reception of analog and digital signals. Many silicon tuners include internal digital signal processors (DSP). These are special purpose processing units (i.e., computers) optimized to do very fast calculations on real world signals. It enables implementation of many functions and features not possible or very, very difficult to obtain without DSP. With DSP, its quite easy to configure on-board filters that meet all television standard requirements. To use DSP, the analog signal at the input of the tuner has to be converted into digital form using an analog-todigital converter (ADC). After the DSP has done its job, the signal is converted back to analog using a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). So, silicon tuners contain not only DSPs but also ADC and DAC subcircuits. The architecture varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and from type to type and the available features will also vary with different silicon tuners, but one things for sure: they all outperform can tuners. Naturally, the smaller overall size of silicon tuners and the ability to mount them directly on the audio/video motherboards of set-top boxes or TV sets is another important feature. In this case, printed circuit boards need to be designed with greater care and expertise in order to avoid radio interference. For-
There seems to be consistent progress in digital TV technology; features like HD, PVR, upscaling or BlindScan were not available a few years ago. In most cases this progress is only possible when a new generation of integrated circuits is developed. This is especially obvious when we consider, for example, the migration from SDTV to HDTV. Other times, these advances in technology are less obvious and harder to detect from the end users perspective. This is the case with the so-called silicon tuners. This term was coined to distinguish the new generation of tuners from the classical tuners made of discrete components. The classical tuners are referred today as can tuners. Thats because they require electromagnetic shields metal enclosures surrounding the electronic components that look a little bit like tin cans. But what is a tuner? According to Wikipedia, the definition of TV tuner is: A television tuner converts an RF television transmission into audio and video signals which can be further processed to produce sound and a picture. Different tuners are used for different television standards such as PAL, NTSC, ATSC, SECAM, DVB-C, DVB-T, ISDB, T-DMB, open cable. We will see that while the first part of the definition is absolutely true, the second part is not necessarily valid for the silicon tuner. Many difficult hurdles had to be jumped before a practical silicon tuner could be manufactured at a reasonable cost. However, once it happened, silicon tuners began gaining rapid acceptance among manufacturers because of their advantages compared to traditional
can tuners. Can tuners are built using a number of discrete components. Naturally, the more components there are, the more it will cost to assemble it. Silicon tuners are based on a single chip and require a minimal number of external components for example they dont need expensive SAW filters as are used in can tuners. A higher level of circuit integration enables a 75% reduction in space and a 25% reduction in the cost over can tuners. Moreover, the integrated circuits of modern silicon tuners are compatible with many TV standards. This is important for the manufacturers because it enables them to offer just one multistandard receiver model in different regions of the world. Theres no need to keep stock of several models to match various digital and analog standards. You can now offer just one set-top box or TV set model for cable, terrestrial, analog and digital TV. The versatility of the chip results in increased software commonality between regional receiver designs and this in turn significantly decreases development costs. Silicon tuners guarantee better repeatability of their parameters and this means that when testing receiver after receiver, theres hardly any difference in their performance. They do not require manual tuning or adjustments. Consistent performance and quality is one thing but superior specifications over can tuners is another. And were not talking about just secondary parameters but better sensitivity, adjacent channel rejection, phase noise and dynamic range. For example, a modern silicon tuner has a signal-to-noise ratio
tunately, the silicon tuner vendors help the designers with reference layouts making their job easier. And the tuners are extremely small. For example, one type of tuner is encapsulated in a plastic package 5x5 mm (0.2x0.2) while some can tuners can be as large as 50x100 mm (2x4). Silicon tuners also generate far less heat than can tuners. Because of this, they are not only more eco-friendly but consume less energy; that makes them suitable for use in battery operated devices like mobile phones. For TVs and receivers, silicon tuners lower their production costs, simplify the manufacturing process and improve their quality and reliability. It should
come as no surprise that the silicon tuner market has expanded rapidly since they first became available back near the turn of the century. Nearly every chip provider that is involved with the digital TV market today is offering silicon tuner solutions. Although can tuners have been the standard since the beginning of the small screen, set-top box and TV makers will eventually abandon the can tuner and switch to single chip silicon tuners. Business analysts predict that over 60 percent of the units produced worldwide are expected to rely on the single-chip silicon tuner by 2014. Why not 100%? Well, some TV OEMs are vertically integrated with can tuner producers; they may prefer to keep them in business for now, however, the days of the can tuner are numbered.
We, the end users, should only welcome this change. Our future products will perform better, will be smaller and more universal, will offer more features and be less expensive. This is very exciting for set-top box fans, but lets not forget that silicon tuners will also be used on a larger and larger scale in PCs and mobile phones. The silicon tuner is poised to unseat the can tuner in virtually every application. In a couple of years almost everything having a screen (PC, tablet, cell phone) will have a builtin TV tuner by default. So, to reiterate the explanation quoted at the beginning of this article: with a silicon tuner you only need one single tuner for every standard. Now thats what we call progress!
FEATURE
Transmission Technology
Single- and Multi Frequency Networks in Digital Terrestrial Television

Jacek Pawlowski
DVB-T/T2 and DVB-H standards for digital terrestrial TV use COFDM modulation. COFDM stands for Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing and is a quite complex sort of digital modulation developed to ensure high bit rate capacity along with interference immunity. The latter feature is what makes single frequency networks (SFN) practically possible.
Fig. 1. Different signal
paths in terrestrial TV.
Before the digital era, the analog TV transmitters located in neighboring areas had to use different frequencies to avoid interference. It is intuitively understandable that using the same frequency to transmit channel A from transmitter 1 and channel B from transmitter 2 is not a good solution. There would always be a location where the reception antenna would not only receive the desired signal (say, channel A) but also the undesired signal. The undesired signal (channel B), even if transmitted from a completely different direction, could interfere because of electromagnetic wave reections or scattering on various obstacles (like buildings, masts, etc.). So the reception antenna properly directed to receive channel A from transmitter 1 has always a chance to pick up some signal from transmitter 2. But what if the two transmitter broadcast the same channel? If they use the same frequency to transmit the same analog channel, the reception antenna could again receive signals from both transmitters simultaneously. In practice, one of the signals would always be delayed in relation to the other one. Thats because the distance between the reception antenna and any of the transmitters would be different. Time delays cause phase shifts what in turn leads either to constructive or
If such digital signal is transmitted from two transmitters on the same frequency, the signal originating from the more distant transmitter is seen as a long delay echo. And this is the important factor for designing single frequency network (SFN): if we used powerful transmitters located far away from one another, we would have long echoes at least in some areas. Therefore, it is usually assumed that SFN requires a dense grid of small power transmitters. For a medium sized European country like Poland, it is assumed that some 350 transmitters with 40 m high antenna masts would be required. Creating such dense grid of transmitters is costly and takes time. On the other hand, MFN can use the existing infrastructure of analog transmitters and antennae. In such conguration, the channels are transmitted on different frequencies and we do not have to care about the echoes from neighboring transmitters. We still have echoes resulting from the same transmitter (self interference) because there are still signal reections from
Fig. 2. In a Multi-Frequency Network the neighboring transmitters must use different
frequencies. Only those separated by larger distance may use the same frequency. The transmitters can broadcast the same or different digital or analog content
destructive interference. This would lead to signal fading. Additionally, due to time delays the ghost effect would be visible on the TV screen. The multipath effect resulting from reections and scattering also would take place. Since analog TV used simple amplitude modulation for video, there was no other way to avoid interference but to ensure that the transmitters which cover overlapping areas had to use different frequencies. The same frequency channel is re-used only in regions separated by a large distance, to avoid harmful co-channel interference. Such arrangement is called Multi Frequency Network or MFN. In COFDM modulation digital data is not transmitted continuously but with pauses among the symbols. These pauses are called the guard intervals. The guard interval should be chosen long enough to allow all symbol echoes to reach the receiver. So that when the next symbol comes there are no longer echoes from the previous one. If all delayed signals (symbol echoes) come to the receiver within the guard intervals, it is possible to process the signals so smartly to avoid fading. DVB-T permits to choose one of the following values for guard interval: 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32. The longer the interval the more echoes we can cancel but
less useful data we can send in the same unit of time. To compensate for that, the number of carriers must be increased.
Fig. 3. SFN uses a grid of low power transmitters for more uniform eld strength. All
transmitters are perfectly synchronized, operate on the same frequency and broadcast the same digital data (multiplex).
different objects. But those echoes are shorter and do not pose serious problems for COFDM modulation. Another advantage of MFN is the fact that it is convenient to use it in the interim period when analog and digital TV are broadcast concurrently. Thats because the viewers do not have to rotate their antennae to catch new digital signal nor do they have to install new antennas. Analog and digital signals come from the same location. In SFN arrangements one multiplex is transmitted on the same frequency all over the country. So SFN has one tremendous advantage over MFN it spares a lot of precious bandwidth released after the analog transmission is completely switched off. This bandwidth can be either used to transmit many more digital channels or used for other purposes. Except for better spectral efciency described above, SFN has better power efciency. In other words, the electric energy consumed by all SFN transmitters is lower than that in MFN system with the same reception area. SFN uses more transmitters, but these are the low power units. SFN is also much more desired for DVB-H signals, especially if SFN is built with a dense grid of small power transmitters. Such grid creates a
much more uniform signal level what is important for reception on the move. Moreover, if we use the same frequency, the receiver can switch from cell to cell smoothly (handover). For MFN networks a second tuner is required in the receiver to check signals from the neighboring cells. SFN is also the better choice if we need to ensure the reception inside the buildings or in those places were it is difcult or impossible to install a roof-top antenna. It is not difcult to gure out that SFN is more demanding from technological point of view. It requires very good synchronization of all transmitters both in time domain and in frequency domain. Usually, GPS is used to synchronize all transmitters. Technology experts when comparing both solutions sometimes overlook non-technical aspects. For example, in some countries there are many regions that transmit local content to local viewers. Such local broadcasts are of little interest to the people living at the other side of the country. One can not split networks into regional or local area networks with different content using SFN. This is particularly a challenge for geographically large countries. Practically, SFN network requires everything be transmitted throughout the whole country.
As usually, it is not so easy to say which arrangement is better. It depends on the circumstances in a given country. One of the reasonable approaches could be to use MFN in the intermediate period and once the digital switch over is over and analog channels no longer exist, start building SFN. SFN will not only release bandwidth but also enable DVB-H reception almost everywhere. To become really popular, portable DVB-H devices should be operational everywhere where a mobile phone is used today. There are even some proposals to use the existing GSM infrastructure for DVB-T/H SFN transmitters. Another approach, justied especially in large countries, could be a mixed solution: MFN and SFN together. In this way, one could have different local multiplexes delivered to different regions, and nationwide digital multiplexes delivered all over the country. Before we conclude this article, a word about North America. COFDM modulation has been chosen for the terrestrial transmissions by DVB and ISDB, but the American standardization body ATSC has opted for 8VSB. Although 8VSB has not been designed with SFN in mind, this modulation is also good in ghost cancellation. So, at least theoretically, it is also possible to build SFN networks in North America.
SFN
Excellent spectral efciency= = low bandwidth consumption Good power efciency= = lower electric energy consumption More homogeneous eld strength distribution for portable and mobile reception (DVB-H) Suitable for indoor reception Network splitting for local content is difcult Excellent synchronization required= =extra cost Costly infrastructure of dense grid of transmitters needed to avoid self interference New aerials often required on the user's side
MFN
No change in user antenna systems required Easy coexistence with analog channels Can re-use existing infrastructure of analog TV transmitters and antennae Network splitting is easy= = different multiplexes in different regions Not effective in spectral occupancy (though much better than analog) Not so good for DVB-H Cannot assure indoor reception Lower power efciency

AZBox Distributor, Russia
Two Buddies from School Days Found AZBox Russia

The two first met at the tender age of seven when they went to the same school. They embarked on different journeys afterwards, with one of them deciding to study economics while the other obtained a degree in electronics and software programming. Later on, their paths crossed again in the year 2006 when they together founded the company SatDream as exclusive distributor of AZBox products in Russia. Andrej Dolgopolov took on the role of Sales Manager, while Ruslan Rozanov became Technical Manager of the company. TELEsatellite met both founders in Moscow.
Technical Manager Ruslan Rozanov can justifiably be called a satellite enthusiast. It was in 2001 when my interest in satellite reception awoke, he tells us. He used to repair satellite receivers for friends and family in his spare time, and he soon discovered that it was the software aspect that I was really addicted to. This even went so far as to turn to receiver programming from 2004 onward. Looking at ways to turn hobby into profession he finally decided to start up a business. Together with his school-day friend Andrej Dolgopolov he raised an initial capital of USD 2,000 to get going. Right from the start the two have focused on repairing satellite receivers. By and by they had gained an expert reputation for servicing receivers of a particular Korean brand, but unfortunately that manufacturer completely missed the leap from SDTV to HDTV, so they had to look elsewhere. The option of customised receiver programming was a driving force behind that search, Ruslan Rozanov explains. One day we came across the AZBox and immediately got in touch with Hugo Condessa, the founder of AZBox. The two have been exchanging thoughts and ideas via e-mail or skype ever since. Our first move was the Russian translation of the AZBox on-screen menus. Even more important, however, was the adapta-
Looking up the faade of this inconspicuous
apartment building you can spot two satellite antennas. Right, next to the dishes are the office windows of AZBox Russia on the fifth floor. This building is only one block from the nearest metro station, which is called Kakhovskaya and is served by metro line 11. The company also makes use of a warehouse for storage, which is located elsewhere.
tion of the AZBox to accept major smartcards used in Russia, like those of provider Tricolor. It only took us three weeks to write the software so that the internal card reader of the AZBox was able to work with those smartcards, Ruslan Rozanov proudly remembers. That happened in October 2009 and things really got moving from there. In November 2009 the first shipment of boxes arrived. It consisted of 100 Elite boxes and 100 Premium boxes, Ruslan Rozanov recalls how it all began. And that pace has constantly increased up until today: For 2010 shipments totalled 1,000 units. However the SatDream team was not at the end with after the on-screen display texts had been localised. We wanted our customers to get the best, Ruslan Rozanov notes and mentions a CD-ROM which is shipped with every AZBox in Russia. The CD-ROM features a comprehensive FAQ covering all AZBox functions, as well as assistance for downloading new software versions. We also cover the initial installation procedure of the AZBox receiver so that all channels demanded from a Russian audience can actually be received, Ruslan Rozanov adds. Incidentally, he compiled the complete CD-ROM almost all by himself. Still, SatDream service does not stop there. All AZBox receivers we sell come with a twoyear warranty, Ruslan Rozanov explains and details the processes that have been set up in the background: Each AZBox is labelled with a unique serial number right at the manufacturing premises and we take
note of the serial number for every single customer of ours. This allows us to instantly look up the features and equipment level of every box ever sold by us. By the way, customers may even enter the serial number of their box at www.azbox.su themselves and check whether they have obtained their receiver through legal channels. Currently, the young company employs a workforce of 15: Four work in administration, three are repair technicians, three are software developers and four are installers who set up complete reception systems all over Moscow and beyond. Added to that are the two owners. Our top-selling product right now is the AZBox HD Plus with two DVB-S2 tuners, Sales Manager Andrej Dolgopolov reveals. We generate approximately 70% of AZBox sales with this model alone. The question that arises in this context refers to DVB-T. After all, AZBox does offer its receivers as DVB-T variants as well. Technical Manager Ruslan Rozanov has the answer: While there have been some test transmissions in Moscow we dont expect a real DVB-T breakthrough in our market before 2012. By that time well be ready and prepared to jump on that bandwagon. Our visit has clearly confirmed the general impression that AZBox Russia seeks to offer excellent customer service. Its employees are in a position to solve software problems in a timely manner, as well as address any hardware issues that might arise. This makes AZBox Russia very well placed for keeping up its steady expansion pace.

Satellite Dealers in Algeria
The Satellite Dealer from Sidi Bel-Abbes

If you travel roughly 80km south of Oran youd nd the city of Sidi Bel-Abbes in western Algeria with its 500,000 inhabitants located about 150km from the Moroccan border. The city was named after its founder Sidi Bel-Abbes. We set out for this city in an effort to nd out how easy it is to buy satellite components such as dishes, LNBs and receivers in a city like this. Is it possible to nd these items here or do you have to travel to a big city in order to nd what you need?
A look at the beginning of the Rue Mascara in
Sidi Bel-Abbes in western Algeria. Here youll nd a large number of satellite dealers.
Sidi Bel-Abbes (Algeria)
Well, no need to ll the gas tank in your car! As soon as we found the Rue Mascara (also known as Boulevard Zabana), we could not escape all of the electronic shops. One store after another offered everything under the sun that came attached with a power cord. Several of these shops focused a little more on satellite components but mostly also sold other items such
as TV sets and household electronics. Because of the ever-dropping prices in the satellite industry, many of these dealers have no choice but to expand to neighboring regions. One of the rst satellite dealers in Sidi 138 TELE-satellite Global Digital TV Magazine 02-03/201 www.TELE-satellite.com 1
Bel-Abbes was Morsli Hallam. He thinks back: When I started in 1994, there were only two other satellite dealers. His best year was 1997 when more than 1000 receivers crossed his shops counter. In the meantime he gave up his business but still knows many of his old competitors. He introduced us to a few of them; for example, the team from Le Bleu. In their electronic shop back in the corner youll find a 90cm dish along with an assortment of satellite receivers. The manager is Benfreha Becheikh; he explains to us: We sell about 50 HD receivers a month and still about 100 SD receivers. Its obvious that it wont be long before more HD receivers will be sold than SD boxes. Most of the customers want to use their new satellite equipment to receive NILESAT. One of the only shops that deals exclusively with satellite reception is Maghreb Sat. Chafi Abdelhamid is the owner and explains to us: I started my business in 1993. But today I only deal with repairs and software updates. With two technicians and an assistant he repairs defective receivers and uploads new software to these boxes. Larger manufacturers can also be found with a branch office along the Rue Mascara. One of these companies is Condor, an Algerian manufacturer that not only produces household goods but also offers all the necessary components for satellite reception. One of the salesmen is B. Chaouchi and he shows us the new HD recei-

The same setup in SD would cost about 60 Euros. 2. Satellite shop Maghreb Sats company logo. 3. In the technicians room, Chafi Abdelhamid, Manager of Maghreb Sat, points out used or defective receivers.

ver from Condor: This box costs only 11,500 DA (about 115 Euros). Just before we left, we met up with Boudera Kada. He learned his trade with Morsli Hallam and became self-employed a few years ago. He installs satellite systems. He explains to us: I install about 500 systems a year. He charges about 8 Euros for a fixed antenna system and about 20 Euros for a motorized system. Of course this only pertains to the labor performed. Most of my customers use an 80cm dish but that just barely cuts it; for HD reception I always recommend using a 120cm antenna, explains Kada to us from his experience. Most of the customers want to receive NILESAT at 7 west and ATLANTIC BIRD at 5 west so I install the antenna as close as possible to 6 west so that both satellites can be received! Other popular satellites for this region include HOTBIRD at 13E, ASTRA at 19.2E, BADR at 26E and ARABSAT at 30E. Kada also gave us an idea what the more popular channels are. In addition to French channels, there are Arabic channels such as Al Jazeera Sports, MBC 1 (with programming geared towards women) and MBC 3 (Childrens TV), Teletoon Arabic, National Geographic from Abu Dhabi, Al Jazeera Documentary, Algeria 3 (Family TV) and 2M from Morocco. Also included in this list are the religious channels IQRA and MAJD as well as the pan-Maghrebish channel El Maghribia 1. According to Kada, Algerian Arabic is closely related to the Arabic spoken in Morroco and Tunesia and is therefore easy for us to understand. It becomes a little more difficult with channels from places like Egypt that

speak in an Arabic variant that isnt so easy to understand. Only the information channels are transmitted in highArabic, says Kada. Our tour through all of the electronic shops along the Rue Mascara in Sidi BelAbbes shows that even in smaller cities in a country like Algeria you can still find a large selection of satellite shops where you can get whatever you need for your satellite reception pleasure.

Satellite Enthusiasts in Japan
Satellite TV in Tokyo
Aluo
Japan's most prominent satellite enthusiasts are Keito Takahashi and Takao Kameda, both of whom live in Tokyo. We paid a visit to them and found out about their tricks of the trade.
Takao Kameda is already 61 years of age and has been a very busy satellite enthusiast for some 17 years now. Hes a well-known gure in the Japanese satellite world and has written numerous articles about satellite reception. Most of them were published in Radio Life magazine which sheds light on all aspects of radio and TV reception. Young people in Japan these days dont watch a whole lot of live TV, he explains. Most use PVRs to record particular events and watch them whenever their busy schedule allows

some time to be spent in front of the TV. Unfortunately, the entire magic of receiving foreign satellite channels from far-away corners of the world is lost in the process. When ASIASAT 1 started we all got very excited, as channels from that position were transmitted in NTSC, Takao Kameda remembers. NTSC was the analog colour system used in Japan, so DXers were able to watch channels from ASIASAT 1 with their existing TV. Over the course of so many years Takao Kameda has steadily enlarged his collection of satellite receivers using all sorts of CA systems. Right now he is having an in-depth look at the iCool G2 DVB-S2 receiver. Keito Takahashi is a similarly committed satellite enthusiast. He even speaks Chinese and is a regular viewer of the Chinese satellite channels by CCTV. He joined the satellite community more than ten years ago when he bought his first satellite antenna: It was a 3-metre KTI mesh antenna imported from the USA. Today he operates a 2.4m mesh antenna for the C band and a smaller 1.2m dish for the Ku band. Keito Takahashi is a true celebrity and a popular interview partner for Japanese TV stations and newspapers when it comes to experience and expertise in the satellite field. He also loves China and even sent his son over to China to learn the language. I watch Chinese TV and learn the language from watching and listening. Another worthwhile reason for becoming a satellite enthusiast!

It has capacity for 100 SD channels, 15 HD channels and 20,000 hours of VOD services. It is already available in five pilot regions in Sichuan, Hubei, Beijing, Shenzhen and Shandong.
