IP Video Set-Top Boxes

IP STBs, RGs, Hybrid STBs, and MPEG-2/MPEG-4



ABI Research’s study of IP customer premises equipment covers IP STBs, residential gateways, and features of IP STBs. Analysis includes shipment and market value forecasts for STBs and gateways. For IP STBs, this analysis is broken into categories reflective of feature combinations on boxes. Additionally, the report provides insight into the decoder market for IP STBs as well as the shipment of boxes that are MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/advanced codec enabled.

Besides IP STB analysis, the research examines telecom-deployed hybrid STBs. These combine IP video with one of three other video platforms: cable, satellite, or terrestrial. This report also provides operator-vendor insight, market-share analysis worldwide and in various regions, and SWOT analysis of the major vendors in the IP STB space.
