A system and method for introducing Internet video into a cable TV network for playing

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of video-on-demand services on cable television networks, and in particular relates to a system and method for introducing Internet video into a cable television network for playback. The terminal refers to the set-top box used for the TV; the video playback platform includes the video conversion push streaming system and the playback resource management system; the video conversion push streaming system is used to receive the scheduling or operation instructions of the playback resource management system, obtain the video from the Internet, and complete the agreement. video conversion, and push streams to the designated IPQAM; the playback resource management system is used for interaction with the terminal player and resource scheduling; the terminal player is responsible for interacting with the video playback platform, completing the presentation of video content and receiving user playback control. This system enables most traditional set-top boxes to play video programs from the Internet without any adjustment, so as to quickly and effectively introduce Internet video into the cable TV network for playback.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of video-on-demand service of a cable TV network, and in particular relates to a system and method for introducing Internet video into a cable TV network for playing. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the changing needs of users and the rise of the Internet, users have become more dependent on the Internet. At the same time, with the popularity of Internet TV and smart set-top boxes, it shows that Internet-based cable TV and interactive TV experience will be the major trend in the future. With the basic completion of the cable TV digital translation work and the deepening of the two-way network transformation of the cable TV network, the cable TV network has expanded from a one-way transmission network to a comprehensive service that can carry emerging business types such as IP data services and interactive video services. network. Therefore, cable TV operators can introduce excellent ser...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] For Internet general-purpose video services, the problem encountered when introducing them to the cable TV network is that, unlike the Internet, there are Android set-top boxes, and there are many types of radio and television set-top boxes, and most traditional set-top boxes do not support the HLS protocol of Internet video. The HLS protocol is very difficult or basically infeasible

In addition, with the continuous popularization of smart terminals, users have higher and higher requirements for terminal intelligence. It is certainly a good choice to update smart terminals that support the HLS protocol, but it will inevitably bring about a significant increase in costs.

Therefore, when cable TV operators introduce Internet video services, they are often constrained by the performance of set-top boxes and the cost of set-top boxes, which brings great troubles to service introduction.
