What are the hotel iptv solutions?

First, let’s explain what an IPTV system is, and then introduce hotel IPTV system solutions, as well as some customized content in the hotel industry. In fact, the most important function of the so-called IPTV system is video processing, which includes two parts, one is live TV programs and the other is video on demand. Among them, on-demand services can be classified according to different categories, such as TV series, variety shows, life, children, education, comics, etc. Live TV broadcasts can include domestic CCTV and mainstream satellite TV, and many also include TV programs from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, or other countries. It depends on the situation. The domestic IPTV system is the China Unicom or China Telecom TV box commonly used in our homes. The advantage is that it is a private network with better definition for TV programs, and it can also be watched back (programs from a few days ago) and time-shifted. (i.e. fast forward, pause, etc.), on-demand (but because it is a private network, on-demand resource updates are not as timely as OTT).

The above are commonly used home IPTV system or OTT system software functions, and the hotel IPTV system is based on this and expanded based on the characteristics of the hotel industry. Hotel industries of different sizes require different expansions. For example, some small hotels may only need to expand some hotel welcome screens, that is, when turning on the TV in the hotel, it will appear: XX hotel welcomes you, with the hotel's own logo and a simple hotel introduction, plus regular family functions. . For some medium-sized hotels, more refined customization may be required on this basis, such as processing logos and some special columns such as hotel introduction, in-hotel ordering, room service, etc. The complexity of IPTV system solutions for larger hotels is even higher. In addition to special requirements for booting, a special interface may also be needed to control all tools in the room, such as indoor temperature, lighting, hotel introduction and other city reservations, and reservations for various facilities in the hotel: such as fitness facilities, There are even more types of conference room reservations, laundry services and room services. In addition to richer internal functions, there may also be more external connections, such as ticketing systems, ride-hailing services, city introductions, recommendations for nearby popular attractions, and others that require third-party platform docking. Of course, there can also be shopping malls and so on. These points provide hotel IPTV solutions that can be implemented according to needs.

In summary, there are different IPTV system solutions for different hotels. But from another perspective, for large hotels, this system may not be simply called an IPTV system, but should be a comprehensive software. As the scale of the hotel changes, IPTV accounts for a smaller and smaller proportion of the entire system. It is more customized and requires some support from hardware, not just software. Just like this, there is no standard IPTV system solution for different hotels, and any solution must be made based on specific circumstances.
