!Multicast transmission is a one-to-many media delivery process that sends a
single message that contains an address (code) that is designated to allow multiple
distribution.
!IP multicast saves considerable bandwidth, since only one stream is transmitted
over the network .
!       is a process of analyzing a digital signal and using
the analysis information to convert the high-speed digital signals that represent the
actual signal shape into lower-speed digital signals that represent the actual
content.

!     is a communications device that transforms audio and

video that is received from a television media server (IP television signal source)
into a format that can be used by a viewer or different network.

!The Real-time Transport Streaming Protocol (RTSP) enables a client to control a
media server by issuing commands necessary for Unicast.
!RTSP reuses many design principle from HTTP:
^URL identifies resources
^requests contain a method name and various parameters
^replies contain a status code and parameters
^messages are text based
!RTSP is a state full protocol. The server maintains state of the client.
!With RTSP, every message contains a session identifier, enabling the server to link
received commands to a given multimedia session.

A conditional access system (CAS) allows for the protection of content.
Content providers are mandating CAS and digital rights management (DRM),
which not only controls the real-time viewing, but also what happens to the
content after it has been viewed once. Generically, most CAS/DRMs are a
combination of scrambling and encryption.

Audio Quality is the ability of the system to recreate the key characteristics of an
original audio signal.
Packet losses are rare as systems normally resend a data packet if it gets a reply from
the destination that the original data packet failed to reach within a specified time.

  ) 
Video quality is the ability of a display or video transfer system to recreate the key
characteristics of an original video signal.
Factors that affect video quality include the video codecs, transmission type and
bandwidth limitations.
