About IP/TV
IP/TV is a network-based application that delivers live or prerecorded, on-demand
or scheduled programs to an unlimited number of users over any IP-based local-
or wide-area network. Synchronized presentations and screen captures are also
supported, in addition to a wide range of video management functions.
As part of the Cisco Content Networking family, IP/TV is a turnkey solution that
brings movie-quality video over enterprise networks to the desktop of the user,
eliminating the need for dedicated video cabling, monitors, or special viewing
rooms. Designed with respect to scalability, high-quality broadcasts are delivered
safely across large enterprises.
Applications for IP/TV include broadcast TV to the desktop, video-on-demand,
computer-based training, distance learning, corporate communications,
manufacturing process monitoring, and surveillance systems.
