How does the solution work?

User experience

• The user signs up for service with the service provider
• The provider sends the user Tornado M10 Digital Media Center
• The user connects the device to his broadband connection and to his/her TV
• After device installation, the user goes to the service provider’s web site, logs in his/her account and enters the MAC address of the device
• The user turns on the device and uses the remote control to select among services, including IPTV, Video-on-Demand, Audio-on-Demand, Online Radio, Pay-per-View and others

Service provider experience

• Upon user sign up the system generates notification to the administrator
• The provider sends to the user Tornado M10 Digital Media Center
• When user enters the MAC address of his device in the CRM portal, the system associates the device MAC with the user account
• When user selects a service, the Tornado M10 sends authorization request to Content Management and Billing server
• Based on account balance and permissions, the server authorizes content delivery and sends signal to iptvStreaming server
• iptvStreaming server pulls corresponding audio/video stream from comboSwitch Media Concentrator or from file storage server and streams it to Tornado M10
• Tornado M10 decodes the stream and displays content on user’s TV
