Delivering TV and Video over the LAN

TV and Video over the LAN

Exterity AvediaPlayer receivers make TV and video channels available to analogue and digital TVs and AV display devices from a standard IP network (LAN). This eliminates the need for an expensive additional video cabling system, and picture quality is maintained, no matter how many users are added.

AvediaPlayer receivers may be used with both fixed and portable display equipment. An optional high-security mount provides additional protection for device and cabling in applications such as secure accommodations.

As part of an Exterity Building IPTV solution, all AvediaPlayer receivers deliver four primary benefits:

• Quickly add display equipment anywhere on the LAN without degrading picture quality
• Centralised management via web management interface or SNMP network management tools for reduced operating expenses
• Afford administrators greater control of content access (e.g., by user and group, scheduling) and options (e.g. language, subtitles, etc.)
• Improve user convenience with iPhone/iPad app control of channel, volume, language and more via organisational WiFi
• Increase revenue or enhance training with support for RTSP and HTTP on-demand video
• Automatic channel recognition simplifies installation
• DVB subtitling
• Teletext
• User selection of channel language

AvediaPlayer models

• AvediaPlayer r9200: lowest power consumption
• AvediaPlayer r9210: additional digital and analogue outputs to extend the life of existing AV equipment
• AvediaPlayer r9220: provides support for IP telephone, internet access and other network services for even lower capital and operating costs.

Exterity AvediaPlayer receivers also integrate seamlessly with standard IPTV equipment from many other manufacturers using the Receiver Development Kit (RDK), which allows third-party applications to control receivers via Telnet, SNMP, and JavaScript.

The Receiver Development Kit (RDK) is a platform that allows Exterity partners the ability to integrate their own solutions with third-party applications and back-end components such as middleware.

Exterity AvediaPlayer receivers include an integrated browser and may be controlled using any or a combination of the following:

• IR remote
• USB devices (e.g. keyboard, mouse, touch screen)
• Telnet Control Interface (TCI)
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) interface
• JavaScript API

The JavaScript API gives programmers extensive control of the Exterity receiver, including commonly-used functionality such as changing channels, controlling volume, and video functionality such as fast forwarding  as well as all configurable parameters (e.g., network settings, browser settings, and maintenance functions). It also provides a mechanism for sending customised JavaScript events to the integrated browser.

Video On-Demand (VoD)

A customised VoD interface that integrates with a payment system. Control the playback of VoD content: pause, rewind, fast forward. Provide a customised VoD interface

Customisable User Interface

Customise the TV user interface and tailor your solution to various groups at scheduled times in  different places. Customise the TV user interface, such as channel lists and interface menus. Add value by seamlessly integrating with existing standard IPTV equipment.
