IKUSI Flow Smart Headend
IKUSI Flow turns any mix of TV sources — satellite, free-to-air, HDMI — into any mix of outputs, feeding IPTV and traditional coax networks from one modular rack unit. No annual licences, no drama.
What it is
The smart headend that speaks both coax and IP.
Most buildings don't get to start from scratch — they have coax in the walls, a new IP network in the risers, and a budget that doesn't stretch to ripping either out. IKUSI Flow is built for exactly that reality: one smart headend that outputs to both worlds simultaneously.
Its modular design means the headend is sized to your building, not a catalogue: add satellite, terrestrial or HDMI input modules as the channel lineup demands, and let the self-configuring interface do the engineering grunt work.
With no annual licensing, Flow is the honest economics choice for hotels, aged care and commercial buildings that want dependable TV distribution without a subscription attached — which is why it's our go-to recommendation when a full enterprise IPTV platform would be overkill.
Key specs.
- Architecture
- Modular smart headend — plug-in modules for satellite, terrestrial and HDMI inputs, scaled to your channel count
- Outputs
- IPTV and coax (DVB-T/C) simultaneously — one headend can feed a modern IP network and legacy TV wiring at once
- Licensing
- No annual licence fees — you own the system outright
- Management
- Self-configuring web interface; the headend detects modules and guides setup
- Density
- High-density 19" rack design — a full multi-source headend in minimal rack space
- Content protection
- Built-in DRM support for protected hospitality content
How we deploy it.
- We survey your existing distribution first — sometimes the coax is worth keeping, and Flow lets us modernise the headend without rewiring the building.
- Channel lineup engineered and balanced across both IP and coax outputs, with DRM configured where hospitality content requires it.
- Documented, labelled and supported — with the upgrade path to full IPTV already built into the same rack.
