TTNET Introduces Web TV Service in Turkey

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrint

Türk Telekom subsidiary TTNET, the leading broadband internet service provider in Turkey, has launched a new Web TV service across the country. By deploying multiple Envivio Three Screens video encoders, TTNET is able to offer live TV channels and on-demand services to its 5 million subscribers over the Internet for viewing on their computers and Wi-Fi enabled devices. The service is being integrated by Ankara-based Birtel, Envivio’s system integration partner.

The Envivio Three Screens solution provides TTNET subscribers with a superior viewing experience by ensuring exceptional encoding and video delivery with support for technologies such as Smooth Streaming,” said Metin Olgun, General Manager of Birtel. “The result is that the new TTNET Web TV offers video quality to computers and Internet-connected TVs that exceeds what people have come to expect from satellite TV.”

The Envivio Internet TV solution employed by TTNET, based on the Envivio 4Caster C4 encoders, delivers more than 70 live and on demand channels to the Web TV service subscribers across Turkey. The solution directly ingests MPEG-2 satellite sources, eliminating the need for additional costly and quality-degrading interfaces. The 4Caster C4 encoders supply IIS Media Servers with continuous streams of Microsoft PlayReady DRM-protected, Silverlight video encoded at up to HD resolution for distribution to subscribers. The 4Caster C4 systems simultaneously encode video at multiple resolutions enabling TTNET to use adaptive streaming technology to continuously deliver video, without interruptions or buffering, as network bandwidth and other conditions vary. Service reliability, redundancy management and operational control in the headend are fully integrated within the Envivio 4Manager network management system.
