End - to - End DVBC Solution
DVBC
Cable Operators
The solution accurately fits into the cable operators requirement. The current scenario shows the
movement towards the DVBC technology due to the recent regulatory notifications issued by the
government. The cable operator realizes the futuristic vision of the IPTV technology because it
could only provide the means and ways to increase their revenue and lower down the subscriber
churn by providing quality vanilla services like Video on Demand, Video conferencing, gaming,
Voice over IP and other innovative services. VoIBRENT DVBC is the solution tailored for the cable
operators which provides the DVB-C technology on their existing infrastructure and is also ready
for the IPTV rollout. The shift between the two technologies is very smooth and economical with
no hardware changes in the infrastructure. The solution enables the cable operator to run both the
IPTV services and digital broadcast service(DVB-C) simultaneously on the same infrastructure. So,
the cable operator can always enjoy a win-win situation.
VoIBRENT DVBC solution comprises of the Video Head-end by TANDBERG and the Customer
Premise Equipment (CPE) manufactured by Logic Eastern. The CPE would be a DVB-C Set top
box. The Customer Premise Equipments are manufactured at a very low cost with easily
available support.

Video Head-end
The Video Headend equipment would feed the entire network on a redundant and highly
available fiber optic backbone provided by Cable Operators. The placement of the Video
Head-end should be at a highly secured area where only senior or technically trained
personnel could access.
The Headend is made up of the following components :
Antenna Farm
It captures all the Free to air and scrambled signals being beamed in the skies. The
signals are then sent to the Video headend.
IRD decoders
Decode the streams being received preferably in ASI format or otherwise through
component video. Many of these decoders might be already in place and unless
specifically asked by the video Head-end vendor, need not be purchased again.
Many decoders are provided directly by the broadcaster.
MPEG-2 / MPEG-4 Encoders
Encode the decoded programs into low bandwidth MPEG-4 format or cost effective
MPEG-2 format that we would use for IPTV transmission. MPEG-2 format can also
be used if required say for sports channels.
Multiplexers and streamers
Scramble and multiplex Single Program Transport Streams ideal for IPTV transmission.
CAS systems
These are servers provided by CAS(Conditional Access System) technology vendors that work
with the Multiplexers and streamers to scramble the signal to avoid content pilferage.
Headend Switch
High performance Ethernet switch would provide 1 Gbps link to the entire network. These links
could later be upgraded to 10 Gbps for enhances bandwidth requirement. The switch would
enable to aggregate the multiple video input from video headends that would be sent over the
network for distribution. This switch could later also be used to add advance IPTV services to
the network.
Billing Server
The billing software by Infozech manages the billing transaction for the subscribers
for the consumed services. The subscribers can even see the billing details of the
services consumed on the TV itself.
Customer Premise Equipment
Set Top Box
DVB-C Set top Box are provided at a very low cost. The Set top Box are
manufactured at LOGIC EASTERN. The STBs are efficient and provides
high performance. DVBC STB comply to the required standards set.
