SmartTUBE

SmartTUBE functional overview

SmartTUBE is a comprehensive solution that enables operators to deliver OTT and IPTV services to subscribers.
Its primary purpose is to provide subscriber-level services such as:

  • Live TV, Catch-up, nPVR, and related time-shift features
  • VoD content playback and purchase directly in the app
  • High-quality streaming on multiple end-user device types
  • Multi-device access under a single subscriber account
  • Fast and convenient search for TV channels, programs, and VoD content

SmartTUBE Architecture

SmartTUBE consists of two main components:

  • SmartTUBE Service Delivery Platform (SDP) — the backend core responsible for service delivery, content, user, and device management.
  • SmartTUBE Apps — front-end applications designed for various end-user devices such as STB, mobile, tablet, Smart TV, media players, and PC.

SmartTUBE Service Delivery Platform (SDP)

SmartTUBE SDP is the core platform component responsible for managing services, subscribers, content, pricing, metadata, device provisioning, and dynamic ad insertion.
It integrates with billing systems, payment gateways, and other third-party systems on the operator’s side.
All platform features are accessible through the web-based SmartTUBE Admin Console.

Functional Modules

SmartTUBE SDP architecture includes five key functional modules:

  • Subscriber Management — manages service accounts, devices, user profiles, service bundles, pricing plans, and multitenancy configurations.
