5.6 Connector for CAM modules and SMART-Cards

Enables the conditional access (disencryption) of encoded digital TV signals, in
agreement with the DVB-CI (Common Interface) recommendation.
This technology supports all those disencryption systems for which a valid CAM
module exists, according to DVB-CI, with the corresponding subscriber card.
The PROLINK-4/4C
possibility of supporting various conditional access systems, so that video and/or audio
broadcast by encrypted services (ciphered, pay TV) may be decoded following the
SimulCrypt model. It provides a standard connector to insert CAM modules (Conditional
Access Module), that allows a specific management of each codification system.
SimulCrypt is a process offering the use of various parallel conditional access
systems, together with the encryption algorithms specified by DVB-CSA (Common
Scrambling Algorithm) to control access to pay-TV services. The Transport Stream of
SimulCrypt broadcasts contains the keys for various conditional accesses, thereby
allowing reception by more than one type of decoder.
The user simply needs to insert the subscriber Smart -Card in the CAM module
connector designed for this purpose before or after the instrument has acquired the list
of services and an encrypted service is then selected. After a few seconds, the image
and/or sound will have to appear.
In order to insert or to change a CAM module, follow next procedure:
The CAM module connector [42] is located on the equipment upper panel.
-
Place the instrument on a stable surface and insert the module so the printed
arrow appears on visible upper face, until the button from extractor
mechanism [43] becomes activated.
