Glossary
b-LAN™
b-LAN is a chip embedded in Samsung’s NE478 series that allows a SONIFI® interactive solutions to be delivered over coaxial cable without additional hardware required such as a set-top or set-back box. It supports the two-way communication required for features such as pay-per-view.
Digital Rights Management (DRM)
DRM is an encryption technology that is built into all of Samsung’s hospitality TVs. By law, HD/premium content must be encrypted to protect from pirating. The content encryption occurs at the source and must be decrypted by either the TV or a set-top box in order to display the content on the screen. Common DRM protocols include Pro:Idiom™, Veramatrix, and Samsung’s LYNK™ DRM
Interactive Program Guide (IPG)
IPG is an enhanced feature that offers an advanced on-screen display to locate TV channel content. A successful IPG deployment requires access to an IPG application, access to a TV program listing database, and the delivery of the IPG digital display template to a TV. Through LYNK REACH, Samsung offers a free IPG or also known as EPG (electronic program guide), which faciliates a ROVI license for TV channel content based on a hotel’s zip code. IPG is a critical piece to hotel TV guest-room tehnology and is often a requirement for many hotel brands.
Property Management System
Software used to automate the operations of a hotel. It is the hub of a property’s operations including processing reservations, checkins, and checkouts. It keeps track of how many rooms you have left to sell and at what rate.
