Why Upgrade Hospitality Video Services?
Challenges with Current Networks :
Risk of service failure – CableCARD equipment is end-of-life or end-of-support
Upgrades blocked by legacy equipment – high cost to replace existing MPEG-2 and Dolby set-top boxes
Limited options for replacement gear – costly and proprietary encryption keep operators locked into legacy equipment
Complex network to maintain – typical RF over fiber solutions require more equipment in workflow
Inefficient, duplicated efforts – operators often run parallel ABR and linear networks for residential and hospitality customers
Benefits of Upgrading Video Services:
Experience reliable and secure video delivery – cost-effective encryption and transport from headend to hospitality sites
Gain flexibility by bridging new to legacy technology – convert video streams to any format at the edge, per use-case
Reduce costs – replace proprietary encryption with industry-standard protection options
Save rack space and power – replace multi-chassis systems with power-efficient, modular 1RU platforms
Consolidate video processing equipment – use ABR streams to feed legacy business networks
How it Works
WISI’s headend and edge video platforms enable operators to serve all types of hospitality networks such as hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, educational institutions, and entertainment venues. No matter how your existing network is set-up, WISI products are able to seamlessly integrate and provide carrier-grade video delivery.
Some of our common deployments include:
IP to Analog or ClearQAM – receive MPEG-4 and output analog or transcode to MPEG-2 and output QAM
IP to IP and/or IP to QAM with Pro:Idiom encryption – deliver to hospitality sites that use Pro:Idiom encryption
IP direct from headend – replace CableCARD with our bulk encryption solutions over IP that maintain content requirements for secure transport. Then bulk-decrypt at the edge for stadiums, arenas, or any venue where in-the-clear video is required.
IP Demarcation – receive IP video at the edge and tailor feed to the customer’s unique IP requirements.
MPEG-2/MPEG-4 to multiscreen – transcode streams to multi-bitrate profiles and stream HLS live content
ABR to MPEG-2/MPEG-4 – receive ABR streams at the edge and convert to multicast IP, QAM, or analog
Example – Linear and ABR Hospitality Workflow
Ingest UDP or ABR streams and output MPEG-4, MPEG-2 or QAM. Optionally encrypt with Pro: Idiom, BISS, or Verimatrix.
