What the guest sees
Screens from a real installationFrom when the television turns on to when the guest chooses what to watch, every screen is configured from the hotel's back office.
Real screenshots of the platform. The demo screens show the Bromteck brand, which in each installation belongs to the hotel instead. In the production screens, the property's identity has been removed.
What guests can do from the TV
Live TV
National and international channels, with a programming guide, schedules, and reminders.
Movies and series on demand
A library of movies, series, and documentaries the guest can choose whenever they want.
Hotel information
Restaurants, spa, gym, activity schedules, and a map of the facilities.
Casting from the phone
The guest sends to the screen whatever they were already watching on their phone or tablet.
Multilingual interface
The guest picks a language when they log in, with no need for anyone to configure the device for them.
Welcome and promotions
A welcome video and spaces to promote the property's services.
Games and entertainment
Interactive games and entertainment apps within the same interface.
Guest profile
The experience adapts to the preferences of whoever is staying in the room.
How the signal reaches the room
Three stages within the same building, with equipment already built for hospitality.
A one-rack-unit headend
The Luminato 4H receives satellite, terrestrial, cable, and IP signals. It's built for hospitality networks: hotels, ships, campuses, and hospitals that need a compact yet versatile solution. It's assembled by combining modules according to the incoming sources, and it grows one module at a time.
The signal travels over the existing installation
The modulator takes the IP and ASI sources from the headend and converts them into RF output over the coaxial cable network the hotel already has in place. The modulation standard is chosen by software, so it adapts to whatever is deployed without changing the hardware.
The guest sees the hotel's brand
The platform is 100% white-label: the logo, colors, and screens are applied from the back office, without writing a single line of code. It reaches Smart TVs, streaming devices, mobile, and web, and the set-top box catalog covers everything from the simplest access device to certified Android TV.
How it's built on the inside
Architecture and standards- Headend
- Captures TV signals and transcodes them to IP. Encoders convert the signal into a data stream, and transcoders adapt format and bit rate to each guest's device.
- Middleware
- Manages and delivers content to the in-room devices, and defines what each one can see.
- CMS
- Where the hotel uploads and organizes the on-demand catalog, live programming, and its own in-house content.
- DRM
- End-to-end content protection, a requirement from studios and content providers to enable their material.
- Network
- Distribution over LAN and WLAN within the building.
Wired Ethernet · Wi-Fi 802.11ac / ax - Video
- MPEG-2 · MPEG-4 / H.264 · HEVC / H.265
- Streaming
- HLS · MPEG-DASH · RTSP · RTMP
What the project looks like
TurnkeySite survey
Understanding what the hotel needs and the current state of its installation. Network design with the bandwidth required, and equipment selection based on how much it needs to grow.
Deployment
Installing the headend with its servers and encoding equipment, configuring the middleware and the CMS with the hotel's interface, and integrating the DRM.
Pilot and tuning
Rollout in a limited number of rooms to catch and resolve issues before scaling, and network and server optimization based on the results.
Operation
Continuous real-time system monitoring and 24/7 support with specialized staff and redundancy equipment.
Why it works in a hotel
No construction work
Distribution runs over the existing coaxial network. There's no need to rewire rooms or hallways to roll out the new service.
One rack unit
The entire headend fits in 1RU, with six hot-swappable processing slots.
The brand is the hotel's
Logo, colors, and screens are configured from the back office. The guest never sees the vendor's name.
A single point of contact
Headend, distribution, in-room equipment, and platform all come from the same catalog, with the project turnkey from end to end.
24/7 support
Specialized staff and redundancy equipment, with real-time system monitoring.
In-house engineering
Our own labs in South America and custom Android app development when the hotel needs something that doesn't come out of the box.
