The internet as infrastructure Digitisation allows many kinds of content to be delivered over different networks, and the Internet has become a global infrastructure for communication, opening up myriad possibilities for new industries and services. Convergence between devices picks up speed as technology gaps between TV and PC diminishes. PCs and TVs will talk the same digital language making it significantly easier to download digital video content over the internet to a PC and then play it back on the TV. With an increasing percentage of the population viewing and listening to rich media distributed via the Internet, broadcasters are expected by the public to provide the same (or better!) service online as offline (i.e. TV and radio). But this is not the case today because the current distribution architecture makes live streaming very inefficient and expensive.

How can we help?
A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network relies on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating it in a relatively low number of servers. When using this technology, the bandwidth requirement of the broadcast is intelligently distributed over the entire network of participants, instead of being centralised at the broadcast's origin; as the audience grows so do the network resources available to distribute that broadcast without adding any additional bandwidth costs. This makes broadcasting over the internet completely scalable and eliminates the success penalty broadcasters normally experience.

How does it work?
Essentially, SyokTV provides a solution for intelligently distributing live content (whether it is audio, video or flash animations) via a peer network or grid.
Illustration 1 shows a grid network formed by ICD to distribute a stream. Only a fraction of users are directly connected to the stream's source. This means the cost to the distributor is only a fraction of what it might be. The majority of users are receiving portions of the stream from other users with latent upload resources. The more users in the audience, the more resources become available, so there is no incremental cost as the audience scales.

The SyokTV ICD (Intelligent Content Distribution) Server provides the initial contact point for clients in the network. When initially installed, the ICD Server connects to the broadcaster’s existing media server and begins receiving the stream, maintaining a buffer of stream data in memory at all times. It then begins accepting connections from clients and serving them with the stream. When launched by a user, the ICD Client first contacts the ICD Server and begins receiving the stream from it. The media player plays the stream as it is received by the ICD Client. If it has available resources, the ICD Client also accepts connections from other clients in the grid to which it may relay a portion or the whole stream it receives as requested.


The ICD Client monitors the quality of the stream it is receiving and upon any reduction of quality or loss of connection it again searches the grid for available resources while continuing to serve the media player from its buffer. The buffer prevents interruption to the playback and ensures that the end-user experience is not affected.
The ICD Server is always available as a last resort for clients that cannot find sufficient available resources in the grid. This guarantees a constant seed of the stream.
In addition, the SyokTV solution enables monitoring and management of all content that is delivered into the SyokTV delivery grid. This means that we allow for reporting and digital rights management.
