How IPTV Works

IPTV works by converting traditional TV signals into IP-based data streams, which are delivered over the internet. When you request a channel or program, the content is streamed from a server, allowing real-time playback on your device. This system differs from traditional broadcast or cable TV, where signals are continuously transmitted. IPTV utilizes "multicasting," which allows one server to deliver content to multiple users simultaneously. Additionally, with the use of codecs and protocols like HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) and RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol), IPTV ensures smooth, high-quality video transmission.
