Teleste
Luminato is used for receiving services from IP backbone and
incrementing service selection with local terrestrial TV services
received at local headends. The services are then ingested both DVB-T
and DVB-C compliant to cable TV network.
Customer need
Due to gradual discontinuation
of analogue TV broadcasting during 2010 and 2011, Numericable was
looking for an advanced solution to turn traditional analogue TV
services to digital. In addition to providing TV services received via
the IP backbone, Numericable wanted to increment the service selection
with local terrestrial TV services received at each of the local
headend. All the services were to be ingested both DVB-T and DVB-C
compliant to Numericable cable TV network.
Solution to customer's need
Teleste Luminato platform was
shortlisted for negotiations and it appeared to be appealing to
Numericable both technically and commercially. The main advantages were
modularity and density of Teleste Luminato, meaning in practise that
each Numericable headend required only one Luminato platform to receive
the TV services from the specified sources and ingest them to
Numericable network in the required formats. Luminato redundancy
features and ease of use were considered outstanding as well, all
resulting to high reliability and cost savings which were well
appreciated by Numericable.

The generic service selection is then incremented with local terrestrial TV services received at each of the local headend. All the services are to be ingested both DVB-T and DVB-C compliant to Numericable cable TV network.
