Hotel IPTV Solution

An Overview

In the past, cable television was favored by some small hotels due to less guest demand, lower equipment costs, and free program sources. But in today's increasingly demanding stay experience requirements, just watching TV can no longer meet the entertainment needs of the vast majority of hotel guests.

 

 

Different from the cable TV system, the IPTV system has introduced a more advanced interactive system, which can meet the various needs of hotel guests during their stay through a variety of interactive functions, such as online meal ordering, video-on-demand, and even online check-out.

 

 

A professional hotel IPTV system is actually an integrated content management system that can integrate all these entertainment functions, for example, being able to watch TV as well as big-name content platforms such as YouTube and Netflix, and of course, to order services online such as online meals and VOD!

 

 

Today, the IPTV system has been regarded as the standard facility of hotel rooms, which will undoubtedly promote the hotel to speed up the process of upgrading to the hotel IPTV system.

Make sure to select the default language before logging in. If you would like a demo, please contact us for details.

The Home Section

When administrator confirms the login, it displays the home page interface.

The Client Section

Administrators can manage all STBs via three sections. Including: Client Group, Client Information, Client Status.

#1 Client Group

Administrator can divide clients into groups according to the hotel suite type, floor, price, etc. The different group STB can play coustomerized live programs, text, picture and video advertisement. Administrators delete group will delete all the group members’ information. If administrator wants to delete a group, please assign the client group members to other group.

#2 Client Information

When STB connected the server, the information of client will display on this interface, and administrator can name this client and divide it into group.

#3 Client Status

Administrator can edit check in and check out information and welcome words, and check consumption information and history checking records. When customers check in the IPTV service can be provided.

#3.1 Checking guests ordering records via "Consume"

 

#3.2 Setting welcome words via "Edit"

 

#3.3 Checking guest’ s payment records via "Edit"

 

#3.4 Confirming guest rooms check-out order via "Check-out"

 

The "Program" Section

Administrators can manage the Live and VOD programs here. Administrator can package the live programs, set price and select the STB to receive the programs. Live programs management: edit programs information including program name, programs’ ID and logo etc. Administrator can manage the Live programs here. Administrator can classify VOD programs here, and when HTTP live protocol is selected, the code rate information will display on this interface.

#1 Live Packages

#2 Live Program

This section allows live programs of various inputs from multi-format live programs, such as HDMI programs, homebrew programs, and satellite TV programs. Please note that the scrolling subtitles are allowed to will be displayed automatically throughout the menu of the IPTV system. Before getting started, please input full address, including protocol, IP, port and other related information. The Administrator can download the files’ format at the home page to batch import programs, and import files after filling in programs. By the way, if user does click "Visible", the program will be visible at client interface. Meanwhile, the Administrator can click "EPG" to check program EPG information within one week. It only support off-line import at present, and download the imported files’ format at the home page.

 

 

Additionally, scrolling subtitles and forced-in streams are also supported. This means that you can advertise to your guests while they are using the IPTV system at a specific time.

 

 

Well, you may also In-stream your advertisement via forced-in stream videos, and show your customers that you have a canteen inside the hotel or a swimming pool on the 2nd floor. Anyway, scrolling subtitles and the forced-in stream are vital to your hotel's marketing and you can earn more money through these two important functions of our hotel IPTV system.

#3 VOD (VOD Type, VOD, Video Upload)

The "VOD" function is also a unified way for more turnover potential, it allows you to customize video-on-demand and its classifications. You can upload hotel promotional videos in the Vod section to manage the content of the hotel lobby screen. This helps enhance the guest's trust in your hotel. You can also upload any free or paid videos to the specific rooms at a specific time period.

 

 

The uploaded video file name can only consist of numbers, subtitles and underline. File names contain with Chinese or other special symbol, which can also be uploaded to the server, but the set-top box port cannot be played normally.It supports upload and select multiple files at the same time. Please do not close this page in the process of uploading; if other pages are needed to operate, please open a new page.

 

 

For VIP guests, I would suggest high-quality paid videos since they have a much more accommodation budget than the guests who ordered standard rooms, accordingly, for a standard room guest, I would suggest some classic movies that are charge-free. Meanwhile, you can also set a few pieces of paid videos for testing, and see whether the standard room guest would pay for them.

 

 

#4 Forced in-stream

The "Advertisement" Section

 

In Advertisement section, you can manage rolling subtitles, boot images, index page video, boot video and music to be displayed on the user-end.

 

#1 Rolling Subtitles

For rolling subtitles setting, you're able to control whether to display at a specified time or to any designated guest rooms, when you finishied settingm, the subtitles text will be rolling on the televison screen in guest rooms. For example, if you would like to inform the guests that there is a SPA room or canteen open for the guests, you can use the scrolling subtitles like "SPA room on the 3rd floor is now open with buffet and beverage at 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.", or, you can also inform the guest that the swimming pool on the 8th floor will be open at 2 p.m.

 

 

Also, this hotel IPTV system allows scrolling subtitles to be displayed automatically in the "boot" interface. After choosing the default language, another interface will be displayed as follows, we can see that this is the hotel logo, room number, background images, Wifi information, date information, and a menu bar below. The menu bar is the most important part of this interface, it consists of 6 important sections that can help increase your hotel turnover, from the hotel logo, room number, Wi-Fi account, date info, menu icon, and names to the background images, you can also upload a video instead, these senctions are all customizable.

 

 

#2 Boot Images

You can only choose whether advertisement to be displayed by image or video.

 

#3 Index Page Video

You can only choose whether advertisement to be displayed by image or video.

#4 Boot Video

You can only choose whether advertisement to be displayed by image or video.

 

#5 Music

The Custom Section

This section allows you to custom content to specified classifications including welcome words setting, guest rooms info setting, catering info setting, rental info setting, scenic spots info setting.

 

 

 #1 Welcome Words Setting

Once your guest power on the IPTV system in the guest rooms, they will see a boot interface. Well, the boot interface allows you to customize welcome words, backgrounds, and scrolling subtitles. You can easily customize your guests' names and designate their names on the content management system of your hotel IPTV system. You can also customize any videos or images about your hotel in the background, and once the guests turn on the TV, the first view they will see besides the welcome words is your hotel's promotional video or image. Well, for me, I would suggest a video, because it is much more shocking than images! 

 

#2 Hotel Info Setting (Hotel Information and Hotel)

The "Hotel Information" and "Hotel" function allows you to advertise your hotel and let different guests know where they can take a rest in your hotel. You may ask your engineers to upload images and information in detail about each specific room or place for hotel publicity. Or, you can tell all the business room guests via this section that the Rooftop Bar is now open, and if you would like for socializing, we have prepared food and drinks at 10 p.m. Well, for an extrovert, that would be such great news! And it can also help you advertise your hotel and stimulate people to spend more money inside your hotel. For example, you can tell the VIP room guests that there are six rooms for the Parent-child area on the 2nd floor, what are the opening hours, what are the infrastructures inside, etc.

 

 

 

#3 Catering Info Setting (Food and Food Type)

The "Food" function allows the guests to order food and drinks online by using a TV remote. This section contains a few food classifications such as local food, barbecue, etc. You can customize them according to your hotel's food services. What is also customizable are the food images, prices, and order quantity. Well, a high-quality food image decides whether the guests order it or not. You can also lower the food price or set up a food combination of red wine and steak at 60USD to increase the turnover.

 

 

Between the classification, your customer can check what they have ordered now and what's been ordered a few hours ago in the "My order" and "History Order" parts. The guests will only need to press the "OK" button to select a specific quantity and submit the order. 

 

 

The order will then be sent to the IPTV management system which is monitored by the receptionists, after confirming the order, the food will be produced and delivered to the designated room. 

 

 

After the food or drink is sent, please always remember to press "finish" in the management system to complete the order. The "Food" section is one of the best sections in our system that can directly help you earn more money. You will need to upload the food images, price and classifications so that your guests are able to order them.

#5 Rental Info Setting (Goods and Goods Record)

#6 Scenic Spots Info Setting (Scenery)

This section allows a customized introduction to scenic spots around your hotel. To tell you the truth, this may be another best opportunity to increase the turnover and the popularity of the hotel. You may cooperate with the businesses around your hotel, for example, carnivals, sports center, and scenic area. By uploading their information and earn for a consultant fee, and vice versa, the business may guide more guests to your hotel for accommodation after the guests have fun all day long. It is an efficient way to more turnover and higher popularity.

 

The Authority Section

This section allows you to distribute authority to manage the system. As a defaulted role, the administrator owns the highest authority and cannot be modified or deleted, meanwhile, the administrator is authorized to create and edit content as well as to set up sub-administrators.

FAQ List for Hotel IPTV Engineers

I guess we have run over the Hotel IPTV system basics, and here are 7 frequently asked questions by hotel engineers, and they are:

1. Can I use your system if my hotel is using a smart TV?
2. What is the basic hotel IPTV system equipment in this case?

Q1: Can I use your system if my hotel is using a smart TV?

Of course, you can, but please make sure to install the Android APK we provided in your set-top boxes ahead. A Smart TV usually comes with a set-top box by default that has no IPTV APK inside, our IPTV server provides APK though. Some smart TVs use WebOS and alike operating systems. If this type of TV cannot install APK, it is recommended to use FMUSER's set-top box instead.

Q2: What is the basic hotel IPTV system equipment in this case?

In our last video on the professional hotel IPTV system, our engineers recommended the following basic equipment for a DRC local hotel with 75 rooms:

• 1 * 4-way Integrated Receiver/Decoder (IRD).
• 1* 8-way HDMI Encoder.
• 1* FMUSER FBE800 IPTV server.
• 3 * Network switch
• 75 * FMUSER Hotel IPTV Set-top Boxes (AKA: STB).

What's more, for add-ons that are temperately NOT included in our solutions, here is what our engineers recommended:

• Paid program receiving authorization card for IRD
• Set-top boxes with different programs input and standards (e.g. HDMI satellite, local UHF, YouTube, Netflix, Amazon firebox, etc.)
• 100M/1000M Ethernet cables (please lay them properly in advance for each of your hotel rooms that needs IPTV services).

By the way, we're able to customize a whole hotel IPTV system with basic equipment and add-ons at the best price and quality for you.

Q3: How can I modify the equipment settings of your hotel IPTV system?

An online user manual is included in the IPTV system equipment package, please read them carefully and personalize the settings as your will. Our engineers are always listening if you have any questions.

Q4: Is there anything I need to pay attention to while wiring the system?

Yes, and here are 4 things you should know before and after the system wiring, which is:

To start with, for your proper on-site wiring, all the hotel IPTV system equipment will be tested and affixed with the relevant labels (1 on 1) before delivery.

During on-site wiring, please make sure each input port of the system equipment is matched with the designated input Ethernet cables

What's more, always double-check the connection between the Ethernet cable and the input ports, and make sure they are stable enough and not loose because the equipment on-working light will flash still even with a loose Ethernet cable connection.

Finally, please make sure you choose a good quality Cat6 Ethernet patch cable at a high transmission speed of up to 1000 Mbps.

Q5: Any suggestions for the IPTV system transmission room maintenance?

Sure we have. Except for the basic maintenance that every hotel engineer should follow, such as correct wiring and keeping the room dust-free and clean, our IPTV system engineer also recommended that the working temperature should be less than 40 Celsius while the humidity should be less than 90% relative humidity (non-condensing), and the power supply should remain stable between 110V-220V. And most importantly, make sure the room is engineer-only, and avoid the animals such as mice, snakes, and cockroaches from entering the room

Q6: How does your IPTV system work?

Well, it depends on how you input the signals. 

For example, if the input signals are from the TV satellite, they will be transformed from RF into IP signals, and finally gets into the set-top boxes in the guests' rooms. 

If you're interested in this topic, welcome to pay a visit to our video demo on what is a hotel IPTV system and how it works. 

Q7: What do I need to prepare before placing an order for your hotel IPTV system?

Well, before you reach out to our engineers via the links and phone number in the video description, you may need to figure out what you need exactly, for example:

How do you receive the signals? Is it a TV satellite program or a homebrew program? How many channels of signal inputs are there?

What is the name and location of your hotel? How many rooms do you need to cover for IPTV services?

What devices do you currently have and what problems do you hope to solve?

Although our engineers will discuss these topics with you in WhatsApp or by phone, however, it would save time for both of us if you figure out the questions listed before reaching out to us.
