Abstract: This chapter provides a short overview of Internet Protocol TV (IPTV). IPTV systems enable service providers to offer basic and value - added services such as traditional (linear) TV, nonlinear TV, video/content on demand (VoD/ CoD), Nontraditional TV (NTTV), and interactive TV over IP - based managed (e.g., single - provider) networks. Issues related to requirements, architecture, and interoperability are discussed in the chapter. Interoperability, and, therefore, open standards, is important to the successful, large - scale deployment of the technology. The chapter presents a list that represents an IPTV concept classification, that can be utilized to highlight the key areas of technical focus required for commercial deployment of the technology. IPTV architectures in general, and actual implementations in particular, must enable the delivery of IPTV services with a defined QoE for the end user. Controlled Vocabulary Terms Internet protocol television; video on demand
