Service
Description
Two-way
video service
(to VMS only)
Video services include enhanced interactive services such as video on demand (VoD).
Video is carried over the PON to the ONT and then over the in-home coaxial network.
Digital and out-of-band (OOB) carriers are supported on the 50 to 862 MHz spectrum.
Video traffic on the PON consists of:
•
Downstream digital standard- and high-definition television (HDTV) video services;
for example, local broadcast channels, Disney
®
, ESPN
®
, and other services.
•
Downstream IP data; for example, streaming VoD channels.
•
Upstream IP data; for example, VoD purchase data.
•
The ARRIS MediaCipher
®
conditional access system, which provides subscription,
event, firmware download, and set-top terminal management; performs real-time
encryption for broadcast programs and pre-encryption for VoD content; and uses
the OOB RF downstream channel for all control and management functions.
Note: OOB terminates in the VMS; IP client does not contain a cable card.
•
Standard and high-definition VoD services are delivered to the VMS using constant
bit rate MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 single program transport streams. The MPEG-2 or
MPEG-4 video is transported in User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets addressed to
the set-top that are metered to avoid congestion.
•
All return communication is through IP.
Over-The-Top
(backup)
service.
•
This is an HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) service used to provide access to video
services if a VMS is not accessible.
High-speed
data service
The PON provides data service using the same management infrastructure as digital
subscriber loop (DSL) service.
Telephony
A separate private virtual circuit carries telephone service over the PON.
Whole Home IP Video Customer Premises Network—Embedded MoCA BHR
The ARRIS Whole Home IP Video Network carries the following services over coaxial cable to the VMS:
•
Video QAM MPEG-2 encoded broadcast services over the full 50 to 864 MHz spectrum
for MoCA
1.1 BHRs and the 1350 to 1675 MHz spectrum for MoCA 2.0 BHRs
•
IP over coaxial for interactive traffic and VoD Streaming over the 975 to 1025 MHz spectrum
•
IP over coaxial for audio and video content streamed to the clients from the VMS
