The Challenge Hotels face Today

Having invested in big LCD/LED screens in hope to provide better in-room entertainment,
hotels come to face their second challenge, the quality of TV programs.

In fact, with their existing infrastructure (incompatible with LCD/LED screens), displays
turn out more blurry and unclear after their screen upgrades.
XPossible represents the following IPTV solutions in all the
countries we operate:

Android Set Top Box, Hybrid IPTV System that work

with your existing hotel TVs and able to deliver HD TV
programs via existing LAN and coaxial network to
guest rooms

IPTV system that can be installed into special models

of smart TVs – without set top box

No frill digital TV solution, deliver HD TV programs

via existing coaxial network to guest rooms

XPossible has worked with the following IPTV partners:

Which Headend Solutions?

Existing MATV system carries SD programs only Key shortcomings:

❑ Inconsistent quality
❑ Analog Modulators (over Coaxial)
❑ Susceptible to interference
❑ Does not support HD
Head End Solutions to carry SD & HD TV programs
❑ Encoders (over LAN)
❑ Digital Modulators (over Coaxial)

Encoders - Key Considerations:

❑ 8-Channel models available from XPossible only
❑ Requires the data network to support multi-cast, prefer to work with Gigabit LAN network
❑ Hotel needs to have isolated LAN network for the LAN ports connected to the TVs to minimize risk
TV program disruption
❑ Important to invest in well proven Encoders to minimize TV program disruption as encoder works
non-stop 24x7

Digital Modulators – Key Consideration:

❑ HD or SD model supporting 1/4/8 Channel models
❑ Delivers digital TV signal via existing coaxial network
❑ Enables the adding of HD channels to guest room TVs
❑ Does not require upgrading (existing LAN network does not need to support multi-cast)

**Delivers programs near to source quality. Does not improve quality of the TV program’s source.
