The goliveTV server is physically deployed at a mobile operator or hosting facility, which also provides the gateway functions and IP network connectivity. The service is operated remotely by a TV broadcaster’s production team utilizing a web-based management and control application. The TV studio is connected to the hosting centre via a high quality IP link (preferably dedicated and secured) with a guaranteed bandwidth corresponding to the number of online interviews/live sessions. A broadcast CODEC provides the actual video feed originating from the 3G subscriber to the TV production equipment

goliveTV supports 3G UMTS handsets conforming to the 3G-H.324M standard. A 3G gateway is required for bridging the call from the circuit switched network (3G) to packet switched (IP over Ethernet) and changing the call control signalling standard to H.323. A gateway port is required for each concurrent 3G call to the goliveTV platform.

goliveTV handles all aspects of live video caller participation, from the transmission and encoding of the video, broadcasting of menu options to the caller’s phones, management of incoming calls, screening of callers, and the interfaces with the broadcasters infrastructure and video mail solutions.

 

 

goliveTV Architecture

ARCHITECTURE COMPONENTS

Multimedia IVR Controller – This component manages the front-end menus, through which callers navigate to find desired video content or access the relevant production representative.

Built-in ACD – A powerful and comprehensive built-in Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) and sophisticated video soft-switch. The ACD manages the routing of the calls and is managed through a web-based portal.

Multimedia Content Repository – The content repository includes video clips that are displayed to the callers. These clips include video greetings, instructions and other content.

Producer Station – A web-based interface for managing the caller screening process and control of content sent on-air.

COMPONENTS FOR LIVE VIDEO CALLS

Video Gateway – H.324M 3G Video Gateway that bridges the 3G network to IP.

Gatekeeper – An H.323/SIP Gatekeeper passes the callers to the goliveTV system.

Broadcast Terminal – The broadcast terminal is a high quality H.323/SIP video codec, generating a video output (SDI, SVIDEO/Composite). The unit interfaces with the studio’s equipment to enable two-way communications between the host and the caller. The image of the caller is transmitted in the show’s format and embedded in the live feed as a PIP or other format.
