20IPTV IPTV 21System Architecture1. The VoDKAST Middleware server creates the STB menus by accessing the metadata information of thevideos from the VoD cluster (movie name, actors, director, etc.) and the EPG information from the liveand playout channels while considering the user access rights and credit information obtained from thePMS. Thus, the menu is customized for each guest.2. The hotel operator can fine tune the platform through the management console. The MiddlewareServer also monitors the current state of each part of the system and triggers the proper alerts to themanagement consoles in case of any problem.3. The VoD Streaming Cluster stores all the videos in its storage nodes and streams it to the networkthrough the streaming nodes. The platform allows an unlimited number of streamer and storage nodesto increase the storage or streaming capacity independently from each other according to the operatorneeds.4. The IP Contribution System obtains the live DVB-S, DVB-C and DVB-T MPEG-2 streams from satellite,cable or terrestrial feeds and injects them into the IP network as IP multicast streams.5. The Playout Server generates continuous loop streams of stored contents as IP multicast streams.6. The NetPVR server stores local recordings of live TV channels to provide time-shifting features to theplatform.7. The Digital Signage server controls the digital signage screens and split its layout in several regionsthat can be filled with any multimedia content, even Adobe Flash.8. The Ethernet Switches aggregate the outputs of all the servers and carry the video streams to thescreens through the IP network.9. The integrated solution allows several types of STB and screens working together: Standalone STBscreen, Standard PCs screens and Low or High Connectivity Digital signage screen. Any IPTV content(live, playout, VoD, etc.) can be displayed in any of the STB types.IPTV Architecture Graphicwww.blusensnetworks.com

Middleware

24Middleware Middleware 252000 User Clustered Middleware NodeThe middleware server is the core of the Blusens IPTV solution. It controls the interaction betweeneach part of the system and the interaction of the system itself with the rest of the hotel services. It isalso the entry point for the hotel operator, where he can check the status of the network, the connectedSTB, trigger alerts to pop up in one or a group of STB etc.VoDKAST will generate menu screens for browsing all the media library in an integrated way. Theinterface is coherent among all the applications of the system (i.e. TV, VoD, NetPVR, services). It’salso able of providing screens with local information of the hotel and surroundings. This informationscreens are very simple to create and edit via collection of templates that the operator can modifyonline through the management interface. All the modules of this middleware are multilingual and cansupport any language with any font, for example, Arabic.The VoDKAST middleware provides mechanisms to interact with several hotel services (room service,laundry, housekeeping, etc…) providing direct communication with the departments where this servicesare stored and being able also to print text messages with the service required.VoDKAST has the ability of overimpressing banners over the video of all or only some of the Set TopBoxes. It’s also able of blocking the ability of override the message by locking remotely the IR controlof the STB.Middleware NodesThe middleware nodes are the servers that conform the middleware cluster. Depending on the numberof users the middleware can be a single server or a cluster of multiple machines working together toprovide unlimited growing capabilities to the platform.In hospitality environments a cluster of nodes is rarely required, but, in other case scenarios, like telcooperators for example, this requirement becomes more common. Please ask your sales representativeto give you more information about the telco approach for larger installations.The middleware nodes are built with the lastest and highest quality components sharing the group offeatures that configure them as high reliability “state-of-the-art” ones.500 User Standalone Middleware NodeThis node is focused in providing the middleware for small/medium sizedinstallations. With its two dual core processors, this server is able of managingup to 500 users concurrently.The RAID1 mirroring between the two 7200rpm SATA hard disks guarantees thelowest cost per GB of storage space and reveals this unit as a high reliability one.The 1RU form factor highlights this server as one of the most dense ones in whatis referred to number of users per RU.IM.1500IPTV Standalone Middleware for 500 users• Up to 500 middleware users.• Intel Xeon Dual core processors.• 2GB 800Mhz FB-DIMMs RAM.• 2 RAID 1 mirrored 250Gb Hard disks.• 4 x Gigabit Ethernet network interfaces.• Optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface.This node is aimed to provide a solution for larger deployments such as cableoperators, universities, etc. Due to its clustering approach this nodes allowunlimited growing capacity via clustering. This servers are capable of workingtogether to provide one middleware controlling an unlimited number of users.With its cluster approach, a system created with this nodes can integrate spareservers that are automatically hot swapped when an anomaly occurs withoutservice interruption.IM.12000IPTV Clustered Middleware for 2000 users• Up to 2000 middleware users per node.• Intel Xeon Quad core processors.• 4GB 800Mhz FB-DIMMs RAM.• Up to 4 RAID 1+0 mirrored 250Gb Hard disks.• 4 x Gigabit Ethernet network interfaces.• Optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface.IM.1500Processor One or Two Quad-Core Intel Xeon L5420 Processor, 2.50 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB, 50W.CacheQuad Core Processors: 12 MB L2 cache per coreArchitectureDIMM Slots Memory Type Up to 32 GB of 800 MHz ECC FB-DIMM or 667 MHz ECC FB-DIMMMain memoryMemory Configuration 4 GB total memory.

VoD Streaming Cluster

42VoD Streaming Cluster VoD Streaming Cluster 43The VoD cluster is the group of servers responsible of storing and streaming the ondemandcontents to each STB managed by the middleware. The cluster can be dividedinto several storage and caching levels with one or more specific node at each level. Themost common approach is to have one or two levels with one node each.Up to 2 Tb Storage NodeIn the first level, the storage nodes store and replicate the multimedia content library.At the second and further levels, the streaming nodes act as both streamers and cachingnodes, providing the capacity to answer the queries from the STB faster than from thefirst level.When a STB asks for a movie to a streamer, the streamer checks if the movie is storedlocally in its own memory. If the content is available locally, the streaming startsimmediately, otherwise, the streamer asks the storage to stream the content to itself.The content is then served through the streamer to the STB. At the same time, the contentis split in two and cached locally in the streamer to speed up the subsequent accessesfrom other users to the same movie.SN.12Up to 2 Tb Storage Node• Up to 2 TB storage node.• Capable of storing up to 450 hours of SD video or 180 hours of HD video.• RAID 1 mirroring to ensure data redundancy.• Gigabit Ethernet output.• Optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet output.• 1 Disk Maximum fail tolerance.Storage nodesThis clustering approach means that the storing and streaming requirements can growindependently from each other making it possible to adapt the system to any installationsize.VoDKAST Architecture GraphicThe storage nodes, with an optional external disk array, provide storageof any content of the media library, ensuring fast access, fault tolerance,continuous data output and the capacity of redimensioning the networkwhile in operation.The storage facility will store both the VoD, NetPVR, playout and metadataof the whole media library of the hospitality system.The storage capabilities of the platform can be increased by adding morestorage nodes, independently from the streaming capacity required.ArchitectureProcessorCacheMainmemorySystem architectureStandard/integratedinterfacesSoftwareNetworkingManagementMass storageand mediaOperatingsystemsInternaldisk optionSN.12Two Intel Xeon processors 5500 seriesLevel 1: 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data L1 cacheper coreLevel 2: 256 KB unified (data and instruction) L2cache per coreLevel 3: 4 MB or 8 MB shared inclusive L3 cache perprocessor12 DDR3 DIMM slots (six DIMM slots per CPU socket);system supports from 2 GB (1x 2 GB to 96 GB (12x 8GB) of memoryBased on Intel Xeon processor 5500 series and Intel5500 ChipsetNetwork: Two 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet portsSerial: One RJ-45 portUSB: Five USB 2.0 ports (two front, two rear, oneinternal)Expansion bus: One PCIe 2.0 slot (x16 electrical/x16mechanical, low-profile)Solaris 10 OSOpenSolaris OSRed Hat Enterprise Linux 4Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10VMware ESX 3.5Windows Server 2003 Standard/Enterprise EditionsWindows Server 2008 Standard/Enterprise EditionsWindows Server 2008 Standard/Enterprise/Datacenter EditionsTwo GbE ports integrated on motherboardOptional Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM)service processor module– VGA 8 MB: 1,024x768 at 60 Hz– Management port: One 10/100 RJ-45 portEnables remote power control; remote keyboard,video, mouse (KVM) graphicalaccess; and remote media (DVD, CD, floppy)Secure remote access using Web interface over SSL,or CLI over SSHSun xVM Ops Center software supportIPMI 2.0, SNMP v1, v2c, and v3In-band, out-of-band, and side-band remotemanagementUp to four hot-pluggable 3.5 in.

Net PVR

58Net PVR Net PVR 59Net PVRVoDKAST Network Personal Video Recorder (VoDKAST nPVR) increases thepossibilities of the VoDKAST platform with the capability of recording, indexingand managing live video sources. This way, it is possible for the user to record livebroadcasts, and store it in the VoD streaming cluster storage space for later ondemand recovery, providing several services, for example:- Schedule network recordings. The recordings can be managed directly from theEPG or manually programmed. The users decide which programs they want torecord and this programs are automatically recorded in VoDKAST servers. Later,the users will be able to watch the recordings on demand when needed.- Legal filing systems. For continuous recording of video broadcasting and theirlater recovering. The Legal filing systems incorporates the EPG information foreasy browsing of the recorded contents. This kind of cyclic recordings can beintegrated with video surveillance systems. It also supports Catch Up TV services,or live shows recording for the later on demand re-broadcasting.VR.100NetPVR Server NodeThe NetPVR allows the implementation of Time Shifting for TV channels whichallows to the users that are watching a TV channel, to pause and recover it fromthe beginning of its broadcast using on demand video controls.Due to legal reasons, VoDKAST nPVR offers several configuration options of thefilling systems:• Option “one single copy” to manage a single physical recording and severallogical recordings.• Option “multiple copies” to manage multiple physical copies• Option “legal file”.

72Digital Signage Servers Digital Signage Servers 73Playout ServerSeamless SplicingWith the playout server, the administrator can generate continuous loops of full screen pre-scheduled contentsand inject it in the network as multicast streams. This is the easiest and simplest way of creating DigitalSignage information channels.These streams are created in MPEG-2 TS format and the original contents must be MPEG-2 video as well.The platform supports both standard and high definition streaming and can schedule even stored and live TVcontents under a common schedule.Signage ServerOptionally, VoDKAST Playout can perform seamless splicing for MPEG-2 content, thus generating acontinuous, clean stream out of multiple input sources and switches.Seamless splicing is a technology which calculates on real time the intermediate video frames duringthe transition between two videos in a sequence. This means when switching from one video to following,the resulting stream won’t be affected by MPEG-2 video noise providing a clean, smooth transition.With Pulsar Digital Signage server the administrator can manage the whole Digital Signage platform. Itcontrols the channel generators, composes schedules of screen templates and manages the resourcesused to fill these templates.It’s also responsible of uploading the resources to the channel generators in a completely bandwidthcontrolled way. Finally, the server will monitor on real time what is being broadcast in each screenwith the local time in the screen location, triggering the proper SNMP alerts in case of any incidence.Playout Server ArchitectureBy using the advanced scheduling functions the administrator can compose multicast TV channels interspersingLive TV streaming from the satellite or a CCTV camera with local stored advertisements, each 10 minutes forexample.As the stream created shows only one video at once, a channel generator is not required, but high bandwidthnetwork is a must. Any problem in the network connection will be reflected in the video on the screens.PS.100Playout ServerSignage Server Architecture• Generates TV channels from realtime video feeds and stored content.• Connects to VoDKAST servers to retrieve stored on-demand multimedia, or to access remote real-timeencoders.• Generates an IPTV multicast or broadcast channel.• Scheduling can be controlled from the graphical user interface integrated in the VoDKAST ManagementDesktop.• An XML/HTTP API is also provided for easy integration with third party control systems.• Both RTP and Transport Stream output formats are supported.www.blusensnetworks.com

74Digital Signage Servers Digital Signage Servers 75Pulsar Digital Signage server can generate any screen composition by dividing the screen into a template withsmaller regions. Each region can have any loop of contents in almost any media format and the layout of thetemplate can change accordingly to the time schedule.DS.100Digital Signage ServerA web server gives access to the platform in a hierarchical way, allowing the Digital Signage contractor to reselltime slots for specific regions of certain screens to third parties making it possible to get direct revenue from thisplatform.Pulsar Digital Signage server can drive as many low and high connectivity channel generators as desired,independently from the IP technology used to connect the server to the channel generators. It can also upload anygiven template to one or a group of Channel Generators to provide an easy and fast management of large amountsof screens. The server will also manage the synchronization of the channel generators even if they are distributedacross different time zones.It’s possible to link specific contents to a external information system, like weather RSS feeds or queue ticketingsystems. The server will get the information from the external sources periodically and will upload the updatedinfo to each screen. In case the internet connection with the server is lost, the signage screens will work with thelatest available information avoiding empty spaces in the screens’ templates, for both low and high connectivitychannel generators.PS.100Processor One or Two Quad-Core Intel Xeon L5420 Processor, 2.50 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB, 50W.CacheQuad Core Processors: 12 MB L2 cache per coreArchitectureDIMM Slots Memory Type Up to 32 GB of 800 MHz ECC FB-DIMM or 667 MHz ECC FB-DIMMMain memoryMemory Configuration 4 GB total memory.

FACIal RECOGNITIon

82Facial Recognition Facial Recognition 83What´s Facial Recognition?The Blusens Facial Recognition system allows the manager of a public crowded place to gather informationabout the people visiting such venue in real time. Shopping malls, Hospitals, Bank branches, Airports, etc. areplaces suitable for this kind of systems.The system consists in a series of small cameras strategically deployed on specific places, such asadverstisement or ailes, where the crowd is expected to walk or to stop and pay attention to the advertisementshown. The system is capable of detecting the face of each person in range and identify the gender and the age,so the administrator can gather statistics about the kind of people at the venue at any given moment.The Facial Recognition system can even calculate the number of seconds each person spends in front of thecamera and determine for how long the person was looking to the camera directly during this period. By usingthis mechanism the property owner can discover what is the age and gender distribution on a specific momentof the day as well as if the latest changes in decoration or advertising are increasing the attention spans of thevisitors.All the information gathered via different cameras is integrated into one single server to create statisticsdefined specifically to fit the necessities of every authorized user of the platform. The access to this statisticsand reports can be done from any device (tablets, phones, computers, etc.)The 4 FACTORS1. Gender analisis: difference between men&women2. Attendance and Attention. Attitude in front of the camera: Identifies who is looking at the screen or juststanding in front of it3. Age group: And gives you the possibility to personalize real-time advertisement depending on the age andgender4. Traffic Monitoring: Relates people and time as we can know how many people stops in every point per hour.www.blusensnetworks.com
