9. IP TV installation

9.1 Setup

It's strongly advised to use fast mode in combination with IPTV because the boot time otherwise will
be too slow.
There are some limitations for the multicast stream that can be tuned:
TS stream needs to be compatible with DVB standard
Maximum bit rate 18Mbps
Encapsulation of 7TS packets per IP frame. Preferably, each UDP packet must contain exactly
7 data chunks otherwise the packet is not parsed and it will get lost
Multicast addresses need to be within following range: from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
Duplex mode on the switches can be set to full duplex but automatic is recommended, as older
products do not support full-duplex mode. When the duplex mode is set to automatic, the
mode is determined after negotiation between the TV and switch

9.2 Settings for installing IPTV

To set up an IPTV installation you need to go through the virgin installation as described in the chapter
'Virgin installation wizard'.
After this you need to apply following settings as described in the chapter 'Professional settings':
[Dashboard] [Select Dashboard]  [Philips Home]
Philips Home is comparable with the default dashboard from previous products.
[Date and Time] [Source]  [Automatic NTP/Channels]
[Advanced] [Professional Mode]  [On] (never turn this [OFF])
[Advanced] [Power] [Standby Mode]  [Fast]
Setting up this option on Green will reduce the energy consumption in standby, but will
increase the startup time dramatically
[Channel][Channel Settings][IGMP Version for Multicast Channels]
By default, IGMP version 2 will be used. When the switches are configured to a different IGMP
version, it is recommended to set the correct version in this menu, as this will improve the zap
time.
[Wireless and Networks] [Control TV Over IP] [WebServices]
Note: Below settings are to be able to control the TV's using CMND
o [Server URL]: Set the URL correct to get the TV's detected in CMND
o [TVDiscoveryService]  [On]
This is the web service through which a web server will detect the presence of TVs in
the IP network using the TV serial number or production code (and other data). This is
achieved by the TV polling the web service server periodically. For the server to
identify the TV uniquely, the TV details or parameters are being passed to the server
o [ProfessionalSettingsService]  [On]
This allows changing or requesting the current professional settings parameters. It is
similar to WIxP's professional settings control, except that mechanism used here is
web services, instead of WIxP
o [IPUpgradeService]  [On]
