In the last years, research of television systems has increasingly changed from focusing on isolated networks to focusing on a combined network of internet, telecommunication, television and other services. One of the main aspects in that research topic is to guarantee that the user experience will be the same or better than the user expects from a common television system. The purpose of this book is to show a possible protocol implementation for a television system with a packet oriented underlying network. The thesis will show that ETSI TS 183 063 [1] Annex W specified protocol extension to the Realtime Control Protocol will extend a commonly known network system to reach the goals for the users’ quality needs. This book describes the steps from planning to implementation and to evaluation. It will give the reader an overview of the necessary requirements and of the development of the proof of concept to show that the standardized environment will work. Open points in the description of the environment are pointed out and possible solutions are given. This book is divided into seven chapters. The first chapters are the theoretical base, followed by the planning and evaluation of the prototyped IDMS system. In chapter two, an overview of the book’s background and necessary protocols needed for communication is given. This is completed by a description of the network framework, which will be the platform for the synchronization approach. The extension for television usage of the network which is described in chapter two is explained in chapter three. The Software analyzed for the usage in the prototyped implementation is described in chapter four. The necessary modifications and extensions to this software and structure of the applications used to build the environment for the described implementation completes the theoretical part of the thesis. Chapter five shows this software planning. Chapter six gives an overview of the measurements to prove that the created implementation works sufficiently. This is completed by the summary in chapter eight.

Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: This thesis represents the results of my research in synchronization of television during my graduation project. I will describe a solution, which is actually standardized and give a solution on how to implement it in this document. It is a pleasure to thank the people who made this thesis possible. First of all these are my supervisors Oskar van Deventer and Michael Maruschke, who supported me by reviewing my work and discussion on content. I also would like to thank Ray van Brandenburg and Hans Stokking, who were always open for discussion. This work was done at TNO Information and communication technology. The part of TNO this thesis is placed has its main research topic in media technologies and content delivery systems. Research is done in cooperation with Dutch and international companies as well, as with international research groups. TNO is also a member in the NGNLab project, which main purpose is Next Generation Networks and topics related to that. The purpose of this thesis is to create a proof of concept of the synchronization system for IPTV described by ETSI TS 182 027 [2] and ETSI TS 183 063 [1] by using the protocol extension to RTCP from ETSI TS 183 063 Annex W. During planing, implementation and evaluation specifications have to be proofed and requirements, for a sufficient work have to be generated, if the standardized environment is not clear defined on some part of the implementation or not sufficient. This document should give the reader an overview of the necessary requirements and the way of development of the proof of concept. This thesis is divided into seven chapters. The first chapters are the theoretical base, followed by the planing and evaluation of the prototyped IDMS system. In chapter two an overview of the thesis background and necessary protocols needed for communication is given. This is completed by a description of the network framework, which will be the platform for the synchronization approach. The extension for television usage of the network described in chapter two is explained in chapter three. The Software analyzed for the usage in the prototyped implementation is described in chapter four. The necessary modifications and extensions to this software and structure of the applications used to build the environment for the described implementation completes the theoretical part of the thesis.

“Triple Play”is a combination of Internet access, voice communication (telephony), and entertainment services such as IP television and video on demand. The erosion of the traditional voice service, together with the ever-increasing competition between companies, is pushing the telecommunications industry towards a major shift in its business models. Customers want more services in a more flexible way. Today, this shift can only be carried out by offering converged services built around the Internet Protocol (IP). Triple Play, a bundle of voice, video, and data services for residential customers, is the basis of this new strategy. Hens and Caballero explain how and why the telecommunications industry is facing this change, how to define, implement and offer these new services, and describes the technology behind the converged network. Triple Play analyses a number of business strategies to minimise costs, while migrating infrastructures and offering new services. Triple Play: Describes the elementary concepts of triple play service provision and gives detailed technical information to highlight key aspects. Discussed access networks, transport, signaling, service definition and business models. Covers the latest innovations in Triple Play services such as Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM), VDSL2 (Very High Speed DSL second generation), pseudowires andMultiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). Explores video solutions (encoding, IPTV, VoD) alongside transmission and switching technologies (Ethernet, DSL, PON, NG-SDH). Includes a chapter on IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and on fixed/mobile convergence. Triple Play: Building the Converged Network for IP, VoIP and IPTV provides decision makers, engineers, telecommunications operators, network equipment manufacturers, installers and IT managers with a thorough understanding of the changes of traditional voice service and its impact upon the telecommunications industry.
