This Technical Submittal details the proposed Anevia-Motorola-Triax-Televes IPTV Solution designed to be deployed in PROTOTYPE 3 (Site 6), “Soldiers Institute in King Fahad Security College” subject to the initial riser diagram with: Reference number: “S0557-ED-E-GEN-00-09.dwg” Titled: “King Fahad Security College in Riyadh Educational Building” Consultant: “Dar al-handasah” File Description: The riser diagram reflects a basic deployment scenario where 3 dish (each having a Quatro LNB) units collect and stream the feed from 3 different satellite each dish will have 4 output ports (Vertical Low, Vertical High, Horizontal Low, Horizontal High) which in turn are connected (using RG11 cables) to specific ports on the Combiner/amplifier (also known as a Multi-Switch) this device will combine the feed from the 3 LNBs and make them available on each of the multiplexers output ports. The Dish Farm will be placed on the roof; with the multi-switch located at the Low current room as specified, RG11 cables will be used to connect the output ports of the multiplexer and the MTR room provided that the cable routing does not exceed the specified maximum run length based on the cables Datasheet otherwise repeaters might be required. The Encoder/Streamer will take as input the output RG11 cables from the multi-switch, at this point the network will change from analogue to IP and the remainder of the hardware will communicate over the same switch (i.e. the encoder, video server, video storage will be connected using RG-45 cables). The Encoder, VOD, and subsequent middle-ware server are located in the MTR. Finally the Set-Top-Box (STB) is located at each terminal specified for IPTV use (130 IPTV points).

Site 6 - Prototype 3
In this section the functional capabilities of each component making up the IPTV solution will be discussed, with emphases on the design decisions to maintain the required performance capacity for the system at handling both client feed requests and channel streams. The most important value to be addressed in any IPTV solution design is the data-load generated by the multicast IP streams (representing individual channels) into each branch of an IGMP snooping enabled data network (Diagram 2). First we have to consider that each encoded channel will be converted into a 4Mbps stream as such and as an example 100 channels and 60 VOD streams would be equivalent to data load of 400 + 240 Mbps (640Mbps) which will continuously exist in the data path connecting the IPTV switch –to- Core Switch –to- Distribution Switches. We can conclude that the network should support 1Gbps+ data-rate. Now referring back to the Bill of quantities you can find that the IPTV switch in the MTR is a 10Gbps switch with two redundant 10Gbps fiber links connecting it to the core switch this insures that the switch will support future expansions to the head end with no need for modification. The next big bandwidth demand will exist between the client and the edge distribution switches, where each active user will have a continuous bandwidth demand of 4Mbps thus we can conclude that the total data load for 130 Set-Top-Box will be 520 Mbps which is still a fraction of the capacity for this 10Gbit network edge switches.
The Figure above reflects a sample of 3 streams represented by 3 different colors (each stream is one channel for example Al Arabia, Al Jazeera, BBC) the load in the first portion of the network is determined only by the number of channels being pushed from the head-end into the network, the second and more critical portion of the network exists between the edge distribution switch and the client, these switches will have to repeat relevant streams to the active clients as such and at any point in time the switch maximum IPTV data-load can be determined by the number of IPTV terminals multiplied by 4Mbps, the resulting value should not exceed the data load specifications of the switch being used.

Site 6 - Prototype 3
Based on the previous section we will now start discussing our solution components and present a general overview on their performance details.
(1) Set-Top-Box: This represents the client TV interface medium that allows the streaming of IPTV multicast content from the head-end streamers over the Data-Network. For this specific deployment we choose the Motorola VIP1003 STB (Flash Memory 64 MB, DRAM 256 MB, Outputs: HDMI HD and Composite SD). Within the values above the most important are the size of the flash memory and DRAM as they can be directly associated with the Quality of Service (continuous uninterrupted stream). Refer to Appendix 1: Specification Sheet - VIP1000 HD IP Video Set-top
(2) Middleware Server: This represents a custom server that runs the IPTV backbone
services (ex: Redirecting STB requests to the correct Multicast for the desired channel), service integration (ex: providing a single access interface to both the TV channels and VOD), and provides the Client IPTV operational environment (ex: Providing the interface the user will use to change or search for channels). For this deployment we choose the very well tested and widely deployed OCTOPUS middleware server that is highly modular and customizable with wide support for different types of STB or software based clients.
Refer to Appendix 2: Data Sheet – IPTV Entreprise
(3) Video On Demand: This represents a custom server that hosts a database of videos that can be streamed based on a client request, now it is important to note here that the VOD streams operate in a different manner to the Channel streams as each user will have a dedicated direct stream allowing for pause, rewind and fast forward Usually it is considered that a maximum of 15% of the network users will be demanding a paid video from the VOD (in the case of this specific network this means 19.5 users). For the purpose of this solution we have chosen the Anevia Toucan 100 (i.e. that supports 60 VOD users 61% of the network size). It is as well possible to configure the VOD to stream the data content in a manner similar to Channel streams this means a specific video or ad can be made to loop in a continuous bases on a specific channel.
Refer to Appendix 3: Hospitality Product – Toucan 100
(4) Encoder/Streamer: This represents a combined stage hardware that changes the analogue feed of the satellite dish farm to an IP digital stream and encodes it based on the set configuration. For the purpose of this deployment we choose the Anevia Flamingo 660S that supports streaming from 6 different frequencies independent of the satellite signal source. In addition to supporting 6 different decryption cards for paid channels. Expanding the number of supported frequencies is easily achievable by adding an additional streamer with minor configuration to add the order of channels on the middleware.
Refer to Appendix 4: Hospitality Product – Flamingo 660S

Site 6 - Prototype 3
Based on the previous section we will now start discussing our solution components and present a general overview on their performance details.
(5) Multi-Switch: This stage of the network that precedes the Encoding/streaming stage
has the signal in an analogue form, and as such the main criteria for choosing components are dependent on the provided signal quality, noise ratio, and transition medium quality. Now the Multi-Switch main purpose is combining the analogue feed from multiple satellites and transmitting them over a single RG-11 coaxial cable. For the purpose of this design and based on our experience, the best signal quality has been achieved using the Televes Multi-switch 7345 supporting a maximum of 4 satellite Quatro inputs and providing 12 Multiplexed RG-11 signal output ports for use with the encoding stage.
Refer to Appendix 5: Televes – MultiSwitch
(6) Mini LNB: For IP Based networks a Quatro LNB is required where the signal is
outputted in a 4 frequency spectrum (Vertical High, Vertical Low, Horizontal High, Horizontal Low) allowing the use of a multi-switch to combine different inputs over one output RG-11 Coaxial line. For the purpose of this project we went again with the well tested Triax Quatro LNB 304424.
Refer to Appendix 6: Triax – Satellite dishes & LNBs
(7) Satellite Dishes: The dish farm on which the LNBs are mounted is made up of 3 dishes
as per design requirement. For the purpose of this project we choose the Triax TD 110 (110cm) which is made from highly
