Digital Video Distribution in Broadband, Television, Mobile and Converged Networks: Trends, Challenges and Solutions (Hardcover)

A unique treatment of digital video distribution technology in a business context, Digital Video Distribution in Broadband, Television, Mobile and Converged Networks explores a range of diverse topics within the field through a combination of theory and practice to provide the best possible insight and exposure. The theoretical foundations inside assist a fuller understanding of the technologies used in practice, while real-world examples are correspondingly used to emphasize the applicability of theory in the commercial world.

Fully illustrated throughout to help explain the fundamental concepts of digital media distribution, Digital Video Distribution in Broadband, Television, Mobile and Converged Networks is divided into three major parts starting initially with the basic industry trends that have been driving the adoption of video and making its distribution over the Internet an economically viable solution.

This is followed with detail descriptions of challenges and solutions in distributing video in ‘open’ networks such as the Internet. The final part focuses on the challenges and solutions for distributing video in ‘closed’ networks such as the managed network of Telcos.

• Provides an A to Z of digital video distribution featuring technology, business, research, products and case studies.
• Features research topics exploring P2P Streaming, Digital Video Distribution over Disruption-Tolerant Networks and Scalable Video on Demand.
• Includes real world product descriptions on Transcoders, such as Rhozet, and IPTV Quality of Service Monitoring product, such as Ineoquest.

《數位視訊在寬頻、電視、行動和融合網路中的分發》是一本在商業背景下獨特處理數位視訊分發技術的書籍。透過理論和實踐的結合，探討了該領域內的各種不同主題，以提供最佳的洞察和曝光。其中的理論基礎有助於更充分地理解實踐中使用的技術，而真實世界的例子則強調了理論在商業世界中的應用性。

本書通過豐富的插圖全程解釋數位媒體分發的基本概念，分為三個主要部分。首先，從一開始探討推動視訊採用和在網際網路上分發的基本行業趨勢。其次，詳細描述在「開放」網路（如網際網路）中分發視訊所面臨的挑戰和解決方案。最後，重點討論在「封閉」網路（如電信運營商的管理網路）中分發視訊所面臨的挑戰和解決方案。

本書提供了從技術、商業、研究、產品到案例研究的數位視訊分發的全面指南。其中包括研究主題，如P2P串流、在容錯網路上的數位視訊分發和可擴展的點播視訊。此外，還介紹了實際產品，如Rhozet的轉碼器和Ineoquest的IPTV服務品質監控產品。
