Home Entertainment Applications

IPTV allows consumers to customize their TV viewing experience and interact with video content in ways that they’ve never been able to before. Not only does this mean that customers can watch what they want when they want, but it also means they have the ability to access and interact with more and different kinds of content than ever before. Instead of surfing through hundreds of channels that they rarely watch, they can select and stream only the video content that they want, precisely when they want it—whether it’s on a TV channel’s current programming schedule or not. They have access to content from the past, present, and in even the future as they’re inventing their TV viewing experience as they experience it.

Corporate Applications

The wide array of corporate applications of vPortal IPTV™ include:

• Corporate training of both employees and customers
• Quality control monitoring of manufacturing processes
• IPTV network television infrastructure for large corporate and financial institutions, advertising agencies, and TV production facilities

Companies have the ability to broadcast meetings and presentations either to other corporate locations or to customer and vendor offices. Overall benefits include better internal corporate communication, improved and more timely training, increased productivity, reduced travel time and expenses, and a wider and more accessible audience.

Religious Applications

Many large churches have routinely recorded services, classes, and special events to people in remote locations, or to members who were either absent, or to those who want to refer back to some of the covered material for further clarification and learning. Burning, distributing and sometimes mailing DVDs can be a costly and time-consuming endeavor. Many churches are currently in the process of switching to vPortal IPTV™ systems to deliver the content much more quickly and cost-effectively. An additional benefit is that it allows them to instantly change or update content on the fly for immediate distribution.

Medical Applications

Hospital
There are on-site and distance medical applications of IPTV telemedicine technology. On-site hospital uses include real time viewing of surgeries and procedures remotely. The vPortal IPTV™ STB can also be used for continuous staff training. The video-on-demand feature provides additional television programming options for patients.

Telemedicine
vPortal IPTV™ technology opens up new medical possibilities for small community hospitals, allowing them access to medical care and technology of the larger teaching hospitals. It also connects patients in remote locations to their healthcare providers in other cities, allowing many more patients to remain at home rather than having to move to convalescent homes for care.

Distance Education Applications

Extended Classrooms
Universities and colleges are searching for affordable and efficient solutions to collaborate with other schools. Specific vPortal IPTV™ technology expands the technical infrastructure of large universities to connect a large state university with its other satellite campuses. This allows the main campus to broadcast specialized classes previously unavailable at the smaller satellite campuses. The technology can also be used similarly to broadcast classes to corporate locations or to rural communities where students come together in one location to attend the IPTV class.

Individual Distance Learning Classes
vPortal technology provides media-rich interactive classroom experience to individual students enrolled in distance education classes. Traditionally these classes have been taught by professors uploading class notes, quizzes, tests, and other course materials to an interactive website where students can interact. They are left to read all book and lecture material on their own, upload homework assignments, and take timed quizzes and exams at preset times. Another option being used for some classes is to provide lecture notes and video taped lectures of the class as it was taught in past semesters. vPortal IPTV™ technology allows the course to be taught in a much more dynamic and time-sensitive way. Rather than recording last semester’s class, dubbing tapes or disks, and sending them to students a semester or so after it was originally taught, in much the same way as with the religious application, current classes can be broadcast to the vPortal boxes as they are being taught. The distance students can watch the lecture at the same time, or at their convenience. This saves editing, duplication, packaging and shipping costs to get material to distance education students.

These technological capabilities leverage the teaching ability of professors, expand the student audience that they can reach, and reduce overall educational costs.
