Adtec Digital will demonstrate the latest version of its IPTV middleware solutions for IPTV distribution at the NAB Show. At the core of its IPTV solution is iptvManage, a browser-based control and management application for the Linux OS that runs on Adtec Digital's Middleware Application Server.

The company’s iptvManage now includes a companion service called DTVGuide, which provides full program guide building for IPTV when used with Adtec’s DTA multiplexer and scrambler, and features a browser-based control and management application, which features set-top database management as well as package, channel and video-on-demand streaming and provisioning.

Digital Turn Around (DTA) is part of Adtec’s total headend solution, providing an AES scrambler for IPTV conditional access using Verimatrix’s VCAS SMS. Its encryption and high-performance SPTS and MPTS GIGE IPTV routing make the DTA ideal as the hub of a digital television headend. SPTS services are specifically targeted to IPTV services.

DTVGuide is a subscription service to Adtec’s remotely hosted Electronic Program Guide (EPG) database that provides detailed global support for TV programming. DTVGuide is ideal for operators who do not wish to aggregate programming data used to enable a full guide including 14 days worth of program data. It also allows for manual program guide building remotely via the Web. IPTV will use DTVGuide to develop a complete set-top program guide.

Additional features of iptvManage include viewer scalability; thin client JavaScript-enabled IPTV set-top support; and PC and MAC decoding for IE, Firefox and Safari browsers. Options for a billing interface, caller ID and emergency alert requirements are also available.
