Video over IP is the delivery of video content over internet protocol networks rather than traditional broadcast infrastructure. In broadcast media it underpins IPTV services, OTT platform delivery, live sports contribution feeds, and cloud playout workflows — enabling broadcasters, MVPDs, and content owners to distribute linear and on-demand content globally at lower cost and with greater operational flexibility than legacy satellite or terrestrial systems.

Video over IP is the underlying transport technology — any video delivered over an IP network. IPTV refers to managed, subscription-based television services delivered over a closed IP network, typically by a pay-TV operator or MVPD. OTT (over-the-top) is video delivered over the open internet, bypassing traditional pay-TV infrastructure. All three rely on video over IP transport but serve different delivery models, audience relationships, and distribution architectures.
