The new format significantly expands the usual frames of television. The signal is transmitted using the IP protocol. The required connection speed is at least 2 Mb / s. Unlike streaming Internet TV, which is transmitted directly to client equipment, the functioning of IPTV is based on several components:

-buffer software;

-processing of receiving and transmitting media content;

– information protection;

-video servers;

-tracking the quality of traffic and electrical equipment.

The signal goes to specialized devices: set-top boxes, players, Smart TVs, smartphones.
