While the just-concluded International Telecommunications Exhibition, 18 Road, across the board manufacturers have claimed IPTV Products intended for practical commercial IPTV Operation IPTV is already difficult to set the threshold very high, they decided to adopt the most stringent manner to ensure that the eyes of the killer application of the mature floor, and really squeeze the ring, but 45.

  Outskirts of Beijing secret test In about July, when China Telecom, China Netcom And the China Communications Standard Association of IP and multimedia communication Technical Committee (CCSATC1) combined with 5 large equipment manufacturers?? ZTE Huawei, Alcatel Shanghai Bell, Siemens And UT Starcom, a secret joint specification Test. It is understood that this test has been carried out about 3 months, lagging behind China Telecom in July in the first test.

CCSATC1 Chairman Jiang Lintao revealed that at present the Committee in its business needs, including IPTV, IPTV platform, the overall architecture, IPTV STB Specification, set top boxes and IPTV platform interface specification, IPTV operators and content platform operations platform interface requirements, IPTV on the DSLAM equipment and the technical requirements Intellectual property rights Research, including a number of research projects, and strive to come up within 3 months of China’s first IPTV standard draft. Although the vendors involved in testing different solutions, the Committee is expected by the norms agree on the fundamentals.

According to report, Telecommunications Research Institute from the beginning divided into several groups, each exchange, and then finishing the first draft, respectively, further discussion, comments, discussions are completed, the formation of the memorandum. Some of the vendors participating in the test, said the options included in this specification is very comprehensive, not necessarily each vendor can do, of course, will not affect future purchases, just prior to the formation of the first large-scale commercial draft specification, albeit a thoroughly, but it hoped the introduction of this specification can be useful for future selection.

Said that due to the norm-setting strict, some foreign companies because of certain legal provisions were norm-setting Organization Turned away.

More important than technology is the businessChina Telecom in July in the first test conducted, only Shanghai, China may tend to think H.264 And to participate in the second test, the vendors began to have widespread support for H.264, which also affected the final Shanghai Telecom uses H.264 as the standard result.

Initiator Onewave technology, however in the second test, not on the list, according to senior vice president of its money out told reporters in July when the first test of China Telecom, China Telecom, commissioned by Shanghai Telecom to test list confirmed by the headquarters, while the second test is due to hurry Shanghai Telecom IPTV, leading to the test on their own, so the two tests are not the same list. But the end result is far beyond the headquarters unexpected.

According to the professional development of the only set-top box in communication with the Island electronic manufacturers responsible for overseas expansion, said Dr. Cao Lihua, compared to H.264, the MPEG 4 has been very stable, and cost advantages, Shanghai Telecom with H.264 standard has a strong forward-looking, but there are Risk.

Reporter learned that this is because IPTV must go because the front docking system, the R & D set-top box that will undoubtedly cause a lot of pressure. Set-top box device is very complex, in a test of China Telecom, the product almost from scratch with the Island change to the tail, taking into account future business upgrades and improvements, if change in front-end equipment, set-top boxes change accordingly. So it has a professional and strong after-sales team will also be considered for operators in the world. Although the H.264 MPEG4

relatively expensive cost a lot, but because the manufacturers IPTV fast tracking, Expert Forecast products based on H.264 can be out within 3 months of the program, will mature within six months, the price impact of the terminal by chip prices will drop accordingly.

Insiders said operators prefer seamless development of technology, it embodies the business is more important than technology.

Precocious Apple ? As the first national IPTV standard, Jiang Lintao and his organization role to play. Starting from August, they held a number of closed-end row Meeting To strive in a short time for the domestic commercial practice IPTV operators to develop a reference. Such a powerful line-up will be what we offer to an IPTV “meal”? Led by the government or the operator will? All of these are unknown.

But the most worrying is that China still does not appear in the current large-scale commercial success Case Before it is too early to develop standards for IPTV? China Telecom Guangzhou Research Institute of Sun Jing said: “The view of the current application status, in addition to on-demand and broadcast services may be a unified standard, other standards for IPTV services is also difficult to form.” Abroad there is a mature approach is to first program, then the standard, just the opposite of the risk. According to Sun Jing said, from Shanghai Telecom’s IPTV test results to see all kinds of IPTV programs, there are still many problems, large-scale commercial and technological conditions not ripe “without a mature program, the standard as empty talk.” Sun Jing said.

Si Hua Qian Ming Senior Vice President of Science and Technology also expressed similar concerns, he said: “The standards for IPTV is very important, but at this stage, it is not without standards do not IPTV, is still an urgent task or complete technology solutions made to promote the value of a set of large-scale commercial success stories. “

Standards concern IPTV is a complex system, if not based on open standards technology to support expansion of both systems, or system upgrade, the future, there are some difficult issues. The so-called skin hair adhere, large-scale promotion of IPTV soon in time, the development of relevant standards to guide the implementation has become a top priority.

For Streaming Media Technology and IPTV technology, ISO and related manufacturers already have the relevant protocols and coding standards or recommendations. In this regard, China has made many useful attempts have such a number of telecom operators and chip manufacturers, equipment manufacturers, terminal manufacturers and even the content of such operators and content providers including the formation of many joint, carried out research related to enterprise standards and development work. According to report, Alcatel Shanghai Bell is one of the main driving
