A method and system for transmitting digital content, such as Internet Protocol television (IPTV) content, to a downstream modulator, such as an Edge Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (EQAM) modulator, within a cable system that includes a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS), such as a modular CMTS (M-CMTS). Content is transmitted from a content source to the EQAM, via one or more networks, such as a regional area network and a converged interconnect network (CIN), in a manner that bypasses the M-CMTS. Conventionally, downstream IPTV content travels from the content source to the CIN, to the M-CMTS, back through the CIN and to the EQAM. By tunneling IPTV content directly to the downstream modulator, fewer M-CMTS components and less CIN switching bandwidth are involved than in conventional methods and systems. The cost savings associated with bypassing expensive CMTS components allows IPTV content delivery at costs comparable to conventional content transmission methods.

Il s'agit d'une méthode et d'un système qui permettent de transmettre un contenu numérique, comme un contenu de télévision sur IP (IPTV), à un modulateur en aval, comme un modulateur à modulation d'amplitude à quadrature périphérique (EQAM), dans un système de câblage. Ce système comprend un système de terminaison de modem câblé (CMTS), comme un modulateur CMTS (M-CMTS). Le contenu est transmis d'une source de contenu à l'EQAM, via un ou plusieurs réseaux, comme un réseau régional et un réseau à interconnexion convergente (CIN), de manière à contourner le M-CMTS. D'ordinaire, un contenu IPTV en aval se transmet de la source du contenu au CIN et à l'EQAM. En tunnellisant directement le contenu IPTV au modulateur en aval, peu d'éléments M-CMTS et moins de bande passante CIN sont sollicités que dans les méthodes et systèmes classiques. Les économies associées au contournement des éléments CMTS coûteux permettent de livrer un contenu IPTV à des coûts comparables à ceux des méthodes classiques de transmission de contenu.
