How Cisco Designed and Deployed IPTV for Global Communications

Tags:
ip technologies

Overview Cisco IP/TV broadcasts are one of several ways that Cisco Systems delivers multimedia content, some of the others being virtual classrooms and Video on Demand (VoD). In general, Cisco uses Cisco IP/TV broadcasts for providing high-quality, live, or prerecorded information to large audiences of more than 50 people. In contrast the virtual classroom solution works best for audiences of fewer than 50 that require frequent live interaction, demos, audience polling, or question-and-answer sessions. VoD offers a low-cost means of providing individual users with pre-packaged information at any time, from any networked location, without the live interaction provided by Cisco IP/TV broadcasts or the virtual classroom.
