IPTV recorder
Timeline
Packet Ship’s Timeline IPTV recorder provides continuous loop recording of multiple broadcast IPTV channels and their associated metadata, providing a retrospective EPG service for catch-up TV.
Timeline indexes recorded content in real time, so that the Streamline video server can join the recorded stream at the live position and pause, rewind or fast-forward with full visual trick mode.
As well as this, Timeline also continuously records both ‘now and next’ and forward programmed event data, providing the basis for both retrospective and forward EPGs. This data is cached in memory and can be queried by a SOAP/HTTP service either from Web server scripts (e.g. PHP, Java) or directly from client JavaScript for maximum scalability.
Compliance with local copyright laws can be achieved using Timeline’s unique copy feature, where each user gets their own individual copy of a recording, but still processed in the most optimal way.
