  • COMMISSION of the EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 24.04
    COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 24.04.2003 COM(2003) 198 final ON THE LEGAL PROTECTION OF ELECTRONIC PAY SERVICES Report from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament and the European Economic and Social Committee on the implementation of Directive 98/84/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November 1998 on the legal protection of services based on, and consisting of, conditional access Executive Summary This first report from the Commission on the implementation of Directive 98/84/EC, which aims to provide a minimum level of legal protection within the EU of electronic pay services (pay TV, radio and Internet services) against piracy, is part of the Commission’s comprehensive Internal Market strategy to remove barriers to services. It describes and analyses the salient facts relating to the key provisions of the Directive, looks at how these provisions are implemented and enforced by Member States and Candidate Countries, and highlights current trends in piracy. It covers the period from adoption of the Directive in November 1998 through to the end of 2002. The report finds that the knowledge-based economies of the 21st century are expected to rely increasingly on pervasive electronic pay services and that piracy will have the same detrimental effects in the knowledge society as white-collar crime and counterfeiting of goods in the 20th century. Legal protection against piracy of electronic pay services will make a major contribution to achieving the Union’s ambitious target of becoming the most dynamic and competitive economy by 2010. The report highlights the piracy resulting from the impossibility of accessing protected satellite TV channels originating from other Member States.

The Authority, in this regard, recommended retention of existing technical interoperability conditions and updating of standards for set top boxes. These views were reiterated in March 2009 in response to the Ministry’s reference dated February 2, 2009. Dish TV will like to mention here that our earlier responses to TRAI on the consultation papers issued by the authority and our earlier submissions vide our letters my please be considered as an integral part of this response. Authority in the consultation paper has mentioned that : Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), on behalf of the Government, issued the standards for DTH STBs in 2003 under code IS 15377:2003. The specification only defines two aspects, two logical interfaces to be included on the same physical interface. The first interface is MPEG-2 transport stream. The link and physical layers are defined in this specification and the higher layers are defined in the MPEG-2 specifications. The second interface, the command interface, carries commands between the receiver and the module that performs a specialized task such as decryption.

  • Cisco Videoscape Multi-Conditional Access and DRM Management Re-Imagines Content Security to Make It Easier and Less Expensive to Manage
    At-A-Glance Cisco Videoscape Control Suite Multi-Conditional Access and DRM Management DISCONNECT CONTENT SECURITY FROM THE VIDEO CONTROL PLANE What Is the Value of Cisco Videoscape Control Suite Figure 1. Unified Security Across All Devices Multi-Conditional Access and DRM Management? In the past, when you chose your cable system, you also chose your content security. That is because, in early systems, many of which are still operating today, conditional access has been inseparable from the video control plane. But what does that mean, when you are creating new multiscreen services that can move from a set-top box (STB) to a mobile device and back again, within a single session? Until now, it has meant a complicated effort to manage different conditional access and digital rights management (DRM) systems, switching between completely separate control planes. Cisco Videoscape™ Multi-Conditional Access and DRM Management decouples content security from the control plane. It treats content security as a cloud service that you can invoke and apply to content, wherever you need it. So for the first time, you can interface with multiple content security systems — encrypting content for older STBs, newer video hardware, and your subscriber’s personal devices — from a single management console (Figure 1). As a result, content security just became a lot simpler and less expensive. What Problems Does It Help Solve? Cisco Videoscape Multi-Conditional Access and DRM To successfully deliver current video services alongside new multiscreen experiences, Management you need to: • Simplify the process of creating business rules for content-security applications Cisco Videoscape Multi-Conditional Access and DRM Management re-imagines content security to make it easier and less expensive to manage.

  • Powercam Pro 5.2 Universal Professional CA Module
    PowerCam Pro 5.2 Universal professional CA module Features: Supports CA Systems: • provides access to all channels • Irdeto on transponder (max 63 PIDs), • CryptoWorks up to 90Mbps • Conax up to 16 simultaneous filters per PID • Betacrypt • meets worldwide DVB standards • Viaccess • adressable CAM • Seca • parental lock • KeyFly • upgradeable by OTA • Mediaguard PowerCam Pro is a versatile professional CA module allows replacement of several types of decoding modules of one type, which reduces the risk of any exchange in the future, thereby reducing further investment costs. Does the possibility of software updates from the satellite (OTA), so it is ready for any changes in the decoding systems. PowerCam Pro supports multidescrambling on PVR receiver to enable independent watching of a selected channel while recording another one, event. more channels at a time (depending on the receiver capability). PowerCam Pro is able to simultaneously descramble all transponder content on the professional CATV equipment. PowerCam Pro is able to descramble up to 63 simultaneous PIDs. It is able to filter 63 PIDs (16 filters can be applied to one PID). Multidescrabling performance actually depends on the structure of those services in terms of number of PIDs, and also the resources (filters) needed to process CA information, which also depends on the CAS involved. The smart card capabilities in use (performance, communications speed...) also may affect the performance of the CAM. PowerCam Pro (PCAM v5.2) supports the transport stream data rate up to 90Mbps. This depends also on hardware aspects, such as NIM and descrambler of the STB and hardware layout. In any case, regardless these performance parameters, having in mind all the combinations of CAS, smart cards, "transport stream configurations" and even receivers, it is needed to check the performance of the CAM case by case.
