Examples of IPTV Media Platform Applications in Education
Transmission of live video stream to classrooms
Facility
The campus of one of the largest school organizations in Texas, Conroe Independent School District, consists of 56 buildings. Students engage in media studies as well, which play an important role in the educational process. Most of the campus has its own broadcast studios and is used by elementary, middle, and high school students. Live news programs produced in these studios are viewed daily by students.
The Challenge
Expand broadcasting by making it more accessible to students in all rooms.
Traditional coaxial cable, which had been used to carry video signals into classrooms, was becoming a rather expensive solution and a more difficult technology to maintain as the number of rooms expanded and new classrooms were built. A simpler, more cost-effective solution was needed that would give faculty and students more flexibility and allow them to integrate with their school's existing IP networks. A video system that leverages the school's networks must deliver live video not only to classrooms, but also to displays in common areas throughout the campus, reaching a larger audience than before.

A video system that leverages the school's networks must deliver live video not only to classrooms, but also to displays in common areas throughout the campus, reaching a larger audience than before.
Solution
In order to achieve this flexibility and to reach a wider audience, the decision was made to gradually move from a coaxial cable to an IPTV solution. The video system was controlled from the IT center of the training complex. Real-time video was streamed to SD encoders and then delivered to the broadcast video system. Teachers who wanted to access the live video feed of their classes could do so using a media player, no special software installation was required on the computers. From the player the video stream is transmitted directly to the interactive whiteboard in the classroom and can be viewed by students. Also, with the help of special video boxes, the video stream can be displayed on all the monitors in the classroom.
Result
All rooms of the educational complex were able to quickly migrate from video transmission via coaxial network to IP network, saving costs. The new buildings and classrooms are now able to take advantage of their existing IP networks to deliver live video to each of their classrooms. The ease of use of the SD encoder in the broadcast studio and the players on the computers in the classrooms made it possible to start using them immediately.

Wireless IPTV for University
Liberty University is one of the largest and fastest-growing universities in the world, with more than 60,000 students in both full-time and distance education and 2,600 full-time employees.
The Challenge
When it comes to video broadcasting at these large universities, the most common approach is to run coaxial cables around the facility to feed video to classrooms or student residences, where it is displayed on conventional screens and panels. The customer wanted a more flexible, scalable, and cost-effective video transmission system. The goal was to provide students with access to TV video content not only from stationary panels, but also from laptops and personal computers, at any time convenient for them.

The goal was to provide students with access to TV video content not only from stationary panels, but also from laptops and personal computers, at any time convenient for them.
Solution
The IP video transmission solution was taken as the basis. Its components were a media management server, H.264 encoders and STB set-top boxes (digital TV receivers). With this solution, high-quality HD video can be delivered to desktops, laptops, and LCD displays with a high degree of flexibility and minimal maintenance of the entire system.
H.264 encoders save more than 50% of the bandwidth and disk space required for MPEG-2 IP video deployments. Encoders also support a wide range of IP streaming standards and can deliver multiple streams at different resolutions and bit rates to multiple destinations.
Dedicated IPTV players, run by a media server, make IP video available on networked student computers and laptops, on any operating system, whether Mac, Windows or Linux. Because the players run on a server client, IT staff don't have to spend time installing or maintaining software on student computers. The media players support HDMI, Component, S-Video, and Composite formats.
Result
To date, the university campus has installed 770 wireless access points, a content management system and video players for secure multicast video distribution and instant access to live stream video channels. Students and staff now have access to 15 network broadcast channels, the university's student channel and a special events channel from anywhere on campus, and can watch channels on their computers via Wi-Fi or on video panels in common areas.

Cable TV and Digital Signage System for University
Subject
Northwestern University, which has about 8,000 students, already had a cable TV system. However, the panels broadcasting it were installed only in public areas, and it was necessary to make it available in the rooms of students in the university dormitory as well. Since the organization of an additional branched cable system was a very labor-intensive and expensive task, the choice was made in favor of IPTV. The students also wanted to be able to share the media content they were developing with university branches in other cities.
The challenge
Initially the task to organize an additional system of video transfer by coaxial cables was calculated. It turned out that such work could be done in 6 months and would require about 5 million dollars. Organization of video broadcasting via IP was an obvious alternative. But a number of additional issues came into play here:

It turned out that such work could be done in 6 months and would require about 5 million dollars. Organization of video broadcasting via IP was an obvious alternative. But a number of additional issues came into play here:
- students using a wide range of computer platforms,
- network security and copyright issues,
- the need to build a rigorous access control system.
Solution
A media server was installed in the university building. Under its control are media players, through which students can receive video broadcasts on their personal PCs and laptops (installation of special software on personal devices is not required), select and view channels. All multicast video streams are encrypted and controlled via shared access. STB set-top boxes allow you to work with streaming video. An organized video broadcasting system also allows you to display media content on the video panels of the university's Digital Signage system and broadcast video streams to branches of the university.
Result
The installed IPTV system was well received by the students. With a low deployment cost and one day installation time, the students were able to watch 45 cable channels directly from their rooms. Communication and journalism students can now easily share original HD content with their peers and professors both from their university and from university branches in other cities and countries.

IPTV for the University Medical Laboratory
Subject
The University of Sydney is one of the largest universities. It has 50,000 students and 3,300 faculty members. The university has opened a research center dedicated to the problems of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Among the facilities of the center is a state-of-the-art fluidics laboratory specially equipped to handle chemical and biological agents.
The challenge
In order to reach all students, the lab needed to hold up to eight classes at a time. The challenge was the difficulty of simultaneously broadcasting audio and video to multiple parallel classrooms. In addition, the university wanted to create an environment where students could compare their results with instructors in real time using video content at each lab station. It would have been too expensive to run coaxial cables from the professor's lab station to each student lab.

It would have been too expensive to run coaxial cables from the professor's lab station to each student lab.
Solution
After assessing the existing requirements (the need to transmit high quality video and budget possibilities), IP streaming video technology was chosen to send content from 8 teaching laboratory stations to 240 student workstations. The system was based on HD H.264 encoders, allowing video signals to be processed on 3 high-definition channels. These stream the signal from the lecturer's lab camera, his PC or the document camera (or all three) to the PC screens of each of the students' workstations. Separate media players controlled by a media server were used for students with low latency video streams.
Result
Thanks to the solution applied, it saved the university a significant amount of money that would have been spent on equipment to transmit the video over the cable. The highly efficient signal encoding also gave students and faculty the ability to quickly access high-quality HD video content with very low latency, allowing them to engage in near real-time dialogue.

Streaming video lectures and recording lectures for the institute
Mission
The Wisconsin Institute for Discovery regularly held lectures and meetings on scientific issues for all interested professionals. Although the lecture hall could accommodate 300 attendees, over time this capacity became increasingly insufficient. A way out of this situation would have been to broadcast lectures from the main auditorium to other rooms of the university, where listeners could also gather. It was necessary to organize the transmission of high-definition video and computer graphics in real time and with perfect synchronization of sound, in order to provide equal opportunities for the listeners of the main auditorium and the additional auditoriums. It was also necessary to organize the process of video recording of lectures so that they would be available on demand.
