IPTV - TV & Video Over Your LAN. Encoders, TV Gateways, IPTV Receivers and Video on-Demand: Live TV Over the LAN Live TV Over the LAN ================================================================================ Roxanna Hunter on 28/06/2009 18:56:00 Exterity AvediaStream TVgateways take terrestrial TV or satellite channels and make them available via your building, campus or metropolitan-area network as standard MPEG streams. You can also use AvediaStream Encoders to deliver decrypted TV channels from satellite set-top boxes. You can deliver these channels to standard TVs and AV displays using Exterity AvediaPlayer Receivers, or to user PCs via Exterity Avedia PC Clients. With AvediaServer Director (Exterity's multi-user building IPTV management system), you control which channels are available, where they can be seen, and who can see them. You can even remotely change channels and control the volume on one or many displays throughout your facility. This is a very simple way to get started with Building IPTV. Just one TVgateway can deliver multiple channels. Unlike traditional analogue TV systems, you can support an unlimited number of channels, and add users without degrading the signal.
