Cable→IPTV
IPTV where your viewers already are — on your ISP network. From 1K to 10M subscribers: live, catch-up, packages, EPG, Android TV STB.
From Cable TV (DVB-C) to IPTV
For ISPs whose viewers are already on the operator network — moving coax broadcast to IPTV on FTTH, phased. Production IPTV middleware for your network; you do not pay for over-the-internet OTT delivery your TV business does not need yet.
A TV product subscribers recognize
Android TV STB with live channels, packages, TV guide and recordings — without assembling middleware from scratch. Catch-up depth follows the content rights you have cleared.
Migrate without rip-and-replace
Live over IP first, then managed STBs, then catch-up — run in parallel with DVB-C until a region is ready to cut over, without swapping platforms at every step.
Viewers on your network — not the open internet
Cable→IPTV is TV where subscribers already are: your FTTH. No forced VOD catalog or ads suite in the price. When you later need a product over the internet, reuse the same streaming engine and add your own or a partner OTT portal.
Start with one region
Channels, sources, network check, STB choice, billing API — then architecture and a commercial proposal, not a big-bang cutover. Use the form below to start the pilot.
Already have a portal, middleware, or another engine?
If a portal or middleware is already chosen — keep it and add Catena for delivery. If another streaming engine is in place but does not scale — replace the delivery layer without ripping out subscriber apps.
What Catena covers in IPTV
From ingest to STB and billing — so subscribers watch TV and you do not stitch the stack from spare parts
Ingest without black screens
- •Connect satellite, local encoders and partner feeds as they are — the inputs operator TV actually uses
- •If a source dies, failover kicks in before subscribers call support about a black channel
One grid for every STB
- •STB, Smart TV and phone play the same channels — no separate profile for every device type
- •Adaptive bitrate on the IP network for home Wi‑Fi; stable CBR when you still feed a cable head-end
Catch-up and pause live TV
- •Subscribers are not locked to live schedule — pause, rewind and yesterday’s shows in the package
- •Catch-up keeps them with you instead of moving to a competitor that already offers recordings — archive depth follows the rights you have cleared
Zap like cable
- •Fast channel change without long buffering — IPTV should not feel worse than DVB-C
- •Only entitled packages play; premium channels can sit behind DRM
You know before the call center does
- •Alert on outage or picture quality drop before tickets pile up
- •Live transport-stream analysis — less guesswork when subscribers report artifacts
Sell IPTV, not just streams
- •Packages, EPG and branded apps for Android TV STB, Android and web — your logo and channel lineup
- •Subscribers and entitlements in one place, synced with billing via API. You pay for IPTV where viewers already are — on your network — not for over-the-internet OTT your business may not need yet.
