IPTV technology is now changing the way many are viewing video media. Offering many benefits over satellite or traditional cable broadcast methods, IPTV utilises the internet for the streaming of its content. The resulting media can be customised to suit a number of applications. For example, hospitals, schools, and hotels can benefit in a big way from the capabilities this service provides.
The IPTV Solution
Whether you are looking to add interactivity, broadcast to a large number of people without added cost, or want to increase picture quality and video choices, this new technology can provide a solution for all of those demands and more.
In Hotels
For hotels, the benefits of IPTV technology are tremendous. Depending on what you wish to offer your guests, you can provide on-demand and live access to movies, television shows, and even games. You have the option to provide these free of charge to every room or else to charge based on each selection. For hotel guests, having on-demand capabilities is much more convenient than traditional television as they are constantly in and out of their rooms, making it difficult to watch a particular program at a set time. You will also have the ability to broadcast hotel information as well as giving guests the facility to view their billing details via the television.
In Schools
IPTV technology can also be useful in school settings as well. Instead of basic morning announcements over the traditional P.A. system, IPTV makes it possible to broadcast video content that reaches every room throughout the school. This is also useful for sharing educational video content with many classrooms at once, without the need to shuffle around videos and DVDs. Instead, teachers can have access to a variety of educational programs whenever they need them. This technology also provides a number of options for interactivity that will more likely than not be creatively implemented into many schools in the future.
In Hospitals
Another application for this technology is in hospitals. With a large number of patients and rooms, it can be difficult to provide a variety of programming to suit everyone's tastes. As patients are typically confined to their beds for a long period of time, television and movies provides a much-needed distraction through entertainment. Although conventional cable systems are not easily streamed to such a large number of rooms, IPTV makes this possible at a very low cost, without the need for extensive, invasive wiring running throughout the building. With its increasingly growing variety of applications, IPTV technology certainly appears to be the television for the future.
And In Bathrooms
A really exciting and stylish use of this technology is its use in waterproof bathroom televisions. The latest IP-Enabled models use IP technology to power them, meaning that these luxury wall-mounted TV screens are even more practical than ever.
