The design and implementation of a broadcasting management web system for IPTV

Abstract

Convergence is one of the most popular buzzwords in the academic, research, and industrial fields. One of the most successful examples of convergence is Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), a convergence of communication and broadcast methodologies. In this study we introduce the 'Open IPTV System' that allows subscribers to easily open their own IPTV broadcasting station. We then investigated the broadcast management system (BMS) of the 'Open IPTV System'. Finally, we designed and implemented a broadcast management web system that allows the operators to access the BMS anytime and anywhere as long as they are connected to Internet. © 2013 SERSC.
