How to Setup IPTV - 9 steps

IPTV stands for television transmitted over an Internet Protocol Network.

It is being used to supply television services from mobile phone displays and PC monitors to plasma and LCD televisions. But how to start business IPTV and become an IPTV provider? What is an IPTV business solution?

That’s why we decided to launch an 8-week bootcamp to help you learn everything you need to start your own IPTV business. Setplex can help you set up the necessary infrastructure to successfully enter this competitive market.

What steps are required to become IPTV service provider?

The topics covered in this series will comprise all the major components of IPTV. Before launching your IPTV / OTT business you must have:

OTT/IPTV Middleware

The Middleware system is the primary element of the IPTV system. It links all IPTV services with IP set-top boxes and also provides the user interface. You can manage the whole video streaming business from monetization models to content and subscriptions. Our middleware is called Nora.

​OTT/IPTV Media​ ​Player

IPTV/OTT media players enable both corporate and individual users to view a variety of video data streams retrieved from the Internet. They can allow users to view and hear a range of media events, including movies and other types of video media.

Our IPTV encoder /Transcoder is called Setrix Media Player.  It will convert the format into the necessary format if needed so that the Media Player can show it to a user.
