Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a digital television technology, in particular to a video-on-demand method, a device and a system thereof.
Background
With the development of multimedia technology and network technology, digital televisions are becoming more practical and mature. Digital television is most attractive not only in its high picture and sound quality, but also in that it extends the broadcast-oriented television transmission scheme to a Video-on-demand (VOD) scheme that can be interactive with users, and thus, VOD is also referred to as an interactive television-on-demand system.
Currently, VOD includes a real-time Video on Demand (TVOD: True Video on Demand) mode and a Near real-time Video on Demand (NVOD: Near Video on Demand) mode. Wherein,
in the TVOD mode, the on-demand request of the user may be transmitted to the headend via the network, and the headend server may output a corresponding video stream according to each on-demand request. Thus, a user needs to occupy one transmission channel, and especially in the case of a large user scale, the front end needs to have a very large play-out capability and a very large number of transmission channels.
In the NVOD mode, a request for a user to request a program can be transmitted to the front end through the network, and the front end server delays the playing of a digital television program in several digital channels, so that the user can wait for a period of time to watch the program completely when the user requests the program. Any number of users can be supported by using the NVOD, but the delayed play will cause that each user may need to wait for a long time to obtain the corresponding service.
It can be known from the above that, the current video-on-demand mode is to play the corresponding video program according to the user's needs, although the shortage that the user watches television passively in the past can be fundamentally changed, the interactivity between the user terminal and the front end is very limited, and is limited to one-to-one terminal on-demand and front end play; in addition, the TVOD approach requires a larger bandwidth and is more costly; the NVOD mode requires a long wait time, which brings inconvenience to the user.
