The platform supports the standard DVB SimulCrypt interface enabling the operator to simultaneously run DVB OSF (Open Standard Framework) and OMA BCAST Smartcard Profile service protection on the same platform and hence provide the ideal wholesale platform for mobile TV

Nagravision will showcase the Nagra Mobile TV solutions as used in 3Italia and Vodafone Italy, the world-first commercial DVB-H mobile TV services, with DVB-H phones from LG and Samsung, plus a wide variety of cross DVB-H/3G mobile TV and content services.

The receiver performance surpasses the MBRAI and Nordig2 specification. With a very low power consumption of below 350mW, the AS-102 enables the best quality mobile reception with long viewing times.

Digital Pay-TV to PCs and TV via SmarDTV Solutions

SmarDTV makes premium Pay-TV content accessible to PC TV viewers. Using the Kudelski Group SmarDTV USBCAM, a conditional access module connected to the PC with a common USB interface, a PC user can now gain simple access to premium pay-TV channels on the PC. The SmarDTV module provides highly secure removable technology to enable descrambling and access to Pay-TV services. The module helps operators grow their subscriber count by leveraging the large number of installed PCs.

Digital Pay-TV services directly to a digital TV are also supported and will be demonstrated at IBC. A SmarCAM descrambles the signal. Since the SmarCam uses a standard DVB-CI slot supported by all digital TVs, no set-top box is needed. The SmarCAM architecture supports multiple conditional access versions and operators with a single CAM. It provides easy use for consumers. By inserting different CAMs, TV vendors can use one common model to cover many different markets.

Nagravision CAS and Cinea Watermarking Demo

Nagravision will demonstrate on a Martini HD Hybrid IP platform set-top box, Cinea Running Marks™ watermarking technology. The technology complements Nagravision content security to supplement the encryption and DRM that studios require for high value content such as HD and early window VOD, and live events. The solution provides embedded, invisible and unique products IDs in individual video streams allowing content owners to track pirated content from specific devices – such as set-top boxes to PCs to portable video devices to mobile phones – back to its source.
