MPEG-4 and DRM in
IPTV
Course Duration:
2 days
Training Course Description:
The field of TV broadcasting is going through a major and rapid
change. Digital cable, satellite and over the air transmission of
programming content is fast converging towards common standards.
Also delivery systems are adopting common IP transmission protocols
with convergence to eventual delivery over the Internet as Internet
Television. In order to be able to converse with customers at the
leading edge of technology changes sales, marketing management and
support staff must keep pace with these evolving with these
technological changes.
This course will provide for such key staff the expertise needed in
modern broadcasting technologies. It will demonstrate some of the
encoding of programming and the conversion from one standard to
another. It will also address the issues of the changes seen in the
playing of media on Windows using Windows Media player and the key
aspects of content protection using Digital Rights Management.
