Many people have heard about interactive television, but not everyone understands what it is. How it works, what opportunities it provides, how it differs from other types of broadcasting - all these and many other questions often worry the minds of Belarusians when they hear about IPTV. KV.by will help you understand all the intricacies of interactive television.
IPTV: a short educational program
IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) is a technology for transmitting digital television over the Internet.
This technology allows you to broadcast television signals via an Internet channel without using an antenna or satellite dish.
You can use interactive television on any TV using a special set-top box or the Smart TV function on some TV models, as well as on a computer, tablet or smartphone via an IPTV player.
IPTV, as a rule, includes the following components:
- Complex and service management subsystem, also called “Middleware” or IPTV Middleware
- Subsystem for receiving and processing content
- Content protection subsystem
- Video server subsystem
- Subsystem for monitoring the quality of streams and client equipment.
Broadcasting is carried out through the operator’s IP network using multicast or unicast technology, or without being tied to the operator’s network (in this case it is called OTT).
IPTV guarantees high image quality through the use of a digital data transmission format, as well as the ability to use unique interactive functions. The digital format is less susceptible to interference and picture distortion. It provides access to high definition (HD), which makes the image on the screen as detailed as possible.
The main advantages that IPTV provides:
- the ability to create high-quality images, including in 4K, 5K, 8K formats;
- the ability to control viewing using interactive functions;
- the ability to watch TV simultaneously on different devices. On a TV - using a set-top box, on some TV models - using the Smart TV function, on a computer, tablet or phone using an IPTV player.
Digital television in Belarus
IPTV appeared for the first time in Belarus from the state operator Beltelecom. Later, the largest private Internet operator Atlant Telecom began to provide this service.
Now digital television is available not only from Internet operators. A similar service is provided by mobile operators - MTS (MTS TV) and velcom (voka).
Initially, digital television was promoted as a separate service. Now providers have begun to include it in Internet packages, which was the beginning of the promotion of comprehensive tariffs in Belarus.
“According to a survey conducted by the Internet operator Atlant Telecom among its subscribers, every second participant is an IPTV user. This suggests that digital television is replacing conventional broadcast technologies in Belarus,” says Andrei Burdei, technical specialist for IPTV at Atlant Telecom.
In the development of digital television, Belarus is one of the world leaders. According to research by Point Topic, Belarus ranks 15th in the world in the distribution of digital television. The report notes that over the past year the share of interactive television viewers increased by 12%. Experts believe that by 2021 the share of IPTV in Belarus will be higher than all other types of television.
Similar statistics were recently published by the Ministry of Communications and Information of the Republic of Belarus. Summing up the work for January-July 2021, the department noted that the number of IPTV subscribers increased by 84.2 thousand and as of July 1, 2016 amounted to 1.395 million. At the same time, the report states that commercial terrestrial digital television broadcasting services More than 119.6 thousand subscribers took advantage of it. At the same time, the number of ZALA Internet television (OTT) subscribers increased by 8.8 thousand subscribers and as of 07/01/2016 amounted to 19.2 thousand subscribers.
“The global picture of IPTV development looks positive, largely due to the CIS countries. The fact is that European countries and the United States are strongly tied to cable operators. For a long time we were tied to analog television, and now we have made a sharp leap in new broadcast technologies,” a technical specialist comments on the statistics.
Analog terrestrial television in Belarus was turned off back in May 2015 in order to fulfill its international agreements on the transition to digital broadcasting. Belarus assumed these obligations in accordance with the documents adopted in Geneva in 2006.
The main trend that can be observed in the TV market is a steady increase in interest in interactive IPTV functions, which we will consider below.
Another trend that will soon spread to Belarus is the spread of Ultra HDTV technology. In Belarus, in the future there will be channels that broadcast in 4K Ultra HD format. The technology provides image clarity many times greater than standard and high definition television. TV manufacturers and TV service providers are preparing for this transition, and Internet operators are no exception.
It is worth saying that Belarusian national channels are still lagging behind and are just about to switch to the High-Definition (HD) format, while Western content providers are already preparing to switch to Ultra HD.
A typical IPTV viewer – who is he?
According to a survey conducted by Atlant Telecom, viewers spend more than 2 hours a day watching IPTV. The greatest activity is observed from 20:00 to 22:00 hours.
At the same time, it can be stated that IPTV in Belarus is family television. More than 55% of respondents have a family of 3-4 people. IPTV viewers are distributed by age as follows: from 26 to 35 years old – 45.2%, from 36 to 45 years old – 23.1%, over 45 years old – 14.2%.
A typical IPTV user is a man 26-35 years old, whose family consists of 3-4 people, each family member watches television. As a rule, he has 1 or 2 TVs at home.
The majority of survey participants use IPTV on a personal computer – the share of such respondents reaches 61%. About 37.2% of respondents watch interactive television using a set-top box. Smart TV is preferred by 24.3% of people, and the share of mobile IPTV viewers is about 12%.
The rating of the most popular channels is as follows: TNT, National Geographic, TV 1000 Action, Belarus 5, Nickelodeon, MTV, Euronews, NTV.
How is the channel list formed?
The process of creating a list of channels is quite labor-intensive. As a rule, they are formed according to popularity ratings. The more popular the channel, the more expensive the right to broadcast it costs. Therefore, IPTV a priori cannot be a free service.
Sometimes certain channels stop broadcasting, and most often this happens through no fault of the operator. There may be several reasons: the end of the license, lack of demand, or the company’s reluctance to continue operating in this territory. Then such a channel leaves the list of available ones, and is replaced by an analogue.
“From time to time, subscribers ask to include this or that content in the broadcast network. Perhaps the greatest interest is generated by sports channels, especially during large-scale sporting events. We ourselves are interested in making sure that the audience finds it interesting. But you need to understand that negotiations with content providers are a long and labor-intensive process,” explains Andrei Burdei.
Interactive features: what and how?
As we noted above, interactive television provides a number of advantages for subscribers. Together with a technical specialist from Atlant Telecom, we will try to understand them.
Pause and rewind. Using this function, you can pause the program, as well as rewind programs that are being recorded.
Delayed viewing. Allows you to watch programs that have been on air during the last 48-72 hours. On some channels, the time frame may be increased or decreased.
The system administrator draws our attention to the fact that these functions (the so-called time shift) are not supported by all channels.
“Users often call and ask why this or that function is not available on one of the popular channels. Unfortunately, we cannot influence the situation, since this process is regulated by copyright,” explained Andrei Burdei.
Near the name of channels that have interactive functions, there is usually a clock icon.
Virtual storage. This is another feature that IPTV provides. It makes it possible to record any program and watch it at a convenient time within 2 weeks.
You can review the recording an unlimited number of times. After this, it can be deleted from the server, or it will be automatically deleted after 2 weeks.
Results
To summarize, we can say that interactive television opens up a number of advantages for the viewer and makes watching your favorite programs enjoyable and convenient. High quality video, convenient access to content, the ability to access the Internet, as well as interactive functions set IPTV apart from its competitors and contribute to its development and popularization.
