When injected onto a legacy CATV system or onto a student television channel, OSTN utilizes a set top box converter device outputting analog NTSC or component video, which is then either mixed with local student TV programming ( a network-affiliate model, such as Buckeye TV ) or directly inserted onto the CATV line-up as its own separate channel.

In addition to its IPTV over Internet2 broadcast streams, OSTN is available as a featured channel on the Joost platform, allowing OSTN content to be viewed outside of the college campus for the first time.

OSTN content is also featured on MyspaceTV, and OSTN News content is available via the Associated Press worldwide network of online video distribution.

OSTN is a early adopter of IPTV video distribution systems, and delivers its program streams to affiliates via the Internet2 data network, in contrast to traditional broadcast television satellite or fibre-optic distribution methods.

OSTN's IPTV distribution system allows viewers to see OSTN on both traditional television sets, as the network is often available on a college's campus cable television system, as well as via their computers, via a cross-platform video player with a common interface on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux / Unix systems.

However, the WMV version of OSTN suffered from reliability issues, and was replaced in the fall of 2007 by a highly robust, scalable, and enterprise-grade IPTV distribution system.

OSTN's new distribution system will allow the network to eventually offer itself as a 1. 5-2. 0 megabit H. 264 program stream, and will be scalable to future implementations of an OSTN HD offering.

The use of Internet2 and similar high speed data networks allows OSTN to deliver broadcast-quality video to its member schools without the use of dedicated transmission equipment.

Whereas a traditional television network sends its programming to affiliates via satellite feeds, OSTN uses a high bandwidth connection via the Internet2 network to directly feed affiliates via standard LAN / WAN connections.

The OSTN stream was initially a 1. 6 megabit Windows Media stream, available live 24 / 7 over Internet2 to all member institutions.

The current iteration of OSTN is a 2. 0-4. 0 MPEG-2 program stream, available via the Internet2 network.

The Open Student Television Network, also known as OSTN, is a USA national student television network, head-quartered in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.

Rather than require student television affiliates to purchase and maintain costly microwave, satellite, or dedicated fibre-optic transmission equipment, OSTN allows student stations and member institutions to receive the OSTN channel via existing high-speed IP-based network equipment.
