IPTVision > Video over DOCSIS :: Communications Technology

A straightforward strategy of using M-CMTS to provide IPTV VOD would call for deploying M-CMTS edge QAMs for digital VOD first and adding M-CMTS core capacity as needed to transition the digital VOD to IPTV-VOD.

IPTV News IPTV News: However, some companies, led by Motorola and including GoBackTV, believe the CMTS still provides more complex DOCSIS processing than is really required for straightforward video streams. The DOCSIS bypass concept involves what is, in effect, a 'DOCSIS-lite' approach where the reduced level of data processing (covering issues like synchronisation) means the DOCSIS element can be addressed in an edge-QAM device.
