NyooTV Hotel VOD Solution

Hotel VOD Made Easy...

Business Prospect

With steep competition rising by the day in the hospitality industry, many hotel operators are evaluating more options to earn more revenue. Enhancing their services to their guests has proved to be a successful strategy for most. One of the high-margin services that hotel operators can offer to their guests today is the Video-on-Demand (VOD) service.

Although Video-on-Demand is not new to the hotel industry, the scope of such service has been very limited in the past. In many hotels, the hotel operator would send physical VHS/DVDs to the guest’s room for playback through a VCR/DVD player depending on the guests’ request. The overall quality of such service would be low and hotel guests would be unwilling to pay premium prices for the service.
Fortunately, with new emerging technologies, such as Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), high quality entertainment content is now easily available. This enables real-time delivery of high quality Video-on-Demand content to the TV sets in each hotel room with the help of the Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure. Modern VOD IPTV systems allow guests to browse through the available titles and request playback of their selections via remote controls. Because modern VOD IPTV systems utilize video compression technologies, hotel operators can offer a lot more choice of video content to their guests and respectively generate more VOD revenues.

How does the solution work? Hotel Guest Experience

• The hotel guest uses the NyooTV VOD remote control to select among available VOD titles from the TV screen.

• When the guest selects a video title, NyooTV VOD displays on the TV screen price information and requests confirmation of the selection.

• After the guest confirms the selection, NyooTV VOD starts playing the content on the TV screen.

Hotel Operator Experience

• When the guest requests VOD content via the remote control, NyooTV VOD sends a request to the NyooTV server via ethernet or Wifi connectivity within the room.

• NyooTV server authorizes VOD delivery, based on the rules set by the hotel operator, and provides information about available titles.

• When the hotel guest selects the desired VOD title, the NyooTV server pulls content from the video storage server and delivers it to the NyooTV VOD device requesting the title.

• NyooTV also records a billing charge to the corresponding room account and provides that information to the hotel PMS system.

• When the guest checks out, he is presented with a consolidated bill, generated by the hotel PMS system.
