Abstract

With the advent of OTT, the new concept of content delivery service is growing interest in the market, the development of appropriate equipment and application program is needed. In order to provide OTT service, a system to receive UHD broadcast to collect free content is needed. In this study, we designed an OTT service providing system that operates on 4K UHD video adapter hardware capable of IPTV service. First, we analyzed the situation to provide video free contents service and implemented a system to collect free contents. To validate the research and to make practical use of it, we have developed a mobile program for free content service and distributed it through the Google App Store. It is also installed in an OTT box with the ability to provide free content on the open market and is in service in several countries including Brazil.

OTT의 출현으로 새로운 개념의 콘텐츠 전달과 서비스에 대한 관심이 커지고 있어 시장 특성에 적합한 기기와 응용 프로그램의 개발이 필요하다. OTT 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 UHD 방송을 수신하기 위한 하드웨어와 프리콘텐츠를 수집하는 소프트웨어 시스템이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 IPTV 서비스가 가능한 4K UHD 비디오 어댑터 하드웨어 상에서 동작하는 OTT 서비스 제공시스템을 설계하였다. 먼저 동영상 프리콘텐츠 서비스를 제공하기 위한 제반 상황을 분석하고 프리콘텐츠를 수집하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 연구의 검증과 실질적인 활용을 위해 프리콘텐츠 서비스를 위한 모바일 프로그램을 개발하여 구글 앱 스토어를 통해 배포하고 있다. 또한 오픈 마켓 중심의 프리콘텐츠를 제공하는 기능을 가진 OTT 박스에 탑재하여 브라질을 비롯한 몇 개의 나라에서 서비스 중이다.
