  6. How does Telstra deliver internet IP channels to the T-Box • Telstra uses Adaptive bitrate streaming to deliver IP channels to the T-Box that is based on HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol that is a application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems). • In the past we used video streaming technologies utilized streaming protocol RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol). Which has dedicated streaming rates like 2 Mb that means that to receive a content stream it has to load and buffer enough of the content at a stream rate of 2M. T-Box presentation, Rohan Lee, 05/09/13

  7. How does Adaptive bitrate streaming work ? • Adaptive bitrate streaming works by detecting a user's bandwidth (Network congestion) and T-Box capacity in real time and adjusting the quality of a video stream accordingly. It requires the use of an encoder which can encode a single source video at multiple bit rates (Eg 750k, 1.1M & 2M bs). The T-Box player switches between different stream rates depending on available resources. • Why we use Adaptive bitrate streaming is. • Very little buffering of streams. • Fast start time • Good experience for both high-end and low-end broadband connections. • On the T-Box we use Microsoft Smooth Streaming implementation that is a IIS Media service • extension that enables adaptive streaming .
