Hardware implementation
The hardware implementation of Crypton Catch-up TV is quite simple, easily scalable for various network architectures and easily integrates with existing Krypton digital television broadcasting systems and third-party systems.
It consists of a capture, an example of which is a digital satellite receiver-decoder CRT1081IRD-S2-IP, converter of multi-program streams of digital television broadcasting into broadcast (multicast) single-program IPTV streams CRT1081MCR, or any other streaming TV broadcast source.
This equipment is combined into a single high-performance network with IPTV video server (Crypton Catch-up TV Server), whose software fills the archive with files of digital streams of several channels at once, and organizes the broadcast (streaming) via the http protocol of television programs selected by the user.
