The core of the GRID-TV Platform constitutes a high sophisticated and interconnected POC architecture (POC = play out center). For a country wide operation GRID-TV offers NPOC (National Play Out Center), controlling servers spread “cross network” over an entire country. A further step can be the RPOC (Regional POC) designed to operate cross border. The RPOC is beneficial in areas where language and cultures of countries in that area are the same or do not differ significantly at least. Such POC provides the entire hardware and software environment including technology licenses to operate an Internet-TV network. All POCs are connected to the central iPOC for purposes of cross border content exchange, maintenance, and backup service.

Each POC consists of three main components: TV-Edit, FLBnn and TV-Serve. An ubiquitous backup service and support complete the platform offer.
An NPOC or RPOC is either licensed for operation to a local partner (operator) or operated in a joint venture.

The GRID-TV POC is capable to provide content to the end user in different ways covering all Internet-TV aspects:
Operation of 24/7 Internet-TV channels or multi channel stations
On-demand Streaming
Download
Interactive channels
Point-of-Sales service (POS)

Content providers and Internet-TV broadcasters can choose between operation of:
Single Channels
Multi channel stations with up to 6 channels
Multi station portal with up to 130 channels

GRID-TV platform has been developed with standard tools and supports standard formats. An operator can address the PC world as well as Internet-TV set top boxes.

To the operators benefit the system is scalable ton an extremely high degree. An Internet-TV network can grow with the demand.
