These traditionally refer to solutions that tackle the management and security of content up to the point of acquisition in the home. However, the market now requires a solution for secure handling that takes place after the acquisition device and more specifically in the home network, while enabling managed remote access. DVB-CPCM is a system designed to protect and manage the copying of commercial digital content beyond the end of ‘end-to-end’. On the DVB booth at IBC 2007, FASTCOM Technology SA demonstrated the first functional implementation of DVB-CPCM. Leveraging the characteristics of DVB-CPCM, the demonstration showed attractive business models that can satisfy the desires of everyone, from consumers to content providers and producers. Three use cases were shown which related to, respectively, free-to-air, pay TV and VOD content. Two people, ‘John’ and ‘Mary’ were introduced, each with their own devices. For each type of content, CPCM usage rules were defined for multi-device and multi-user networked environments. Functionalities such as simultaneous consumption control, local/non-local management of data consumption, and time-controlled data consumption in the authorised domain were demonstrated, as well as data consumption for CPCM devices outside the authorised domain. The use cases highlighted the significantly improved consumer experience made possible by DVB-CPCM.

AUSTRALIAN HDTV GETs THE BIG TICK Tim O’Keefe, Australian Digital Suppliers Industry Forum

The Australian Digital Suppliers Industry Forum (ADSIF) has launched a new high definition (HD) certification logo for HDTVs. Based on the European HDTV logo initiative, the HD Tick logo will ensure compliance with Australian and international digital receiver standards and provide for better connectivity with other digital entertainment products. Australia is leading the world with adoption of DVB-T HD. ADSIF predicts that almost 10 million flat panel HDTVs will be purchased in Australia through to 2012. At this rate, it is estimated that there will be at least one HDTV in the vast majority of Australia’s eight million homes. Compliance with receiver standards is not mandatory for digital television receivers sold in Australia. Therefore the introduction of the HD Tick logo is recognition by those HDTV suppliers who certify their product as complying with the industry-developed Australian receiver standards. In addition these products are also self certified as complying with HDMI and Dolby requirements and are registered with DVB. In addition to receiving HD broadcasts, the HDTV screen is the central digital entertainment hub connected to a games console, a digital video recorder, a pay TV set-top box, an AV receiver, a media centre and, increasingly, a PC. That is why ADSIF included within the criteria for the HD Tick logo the additional connectivity testing requirements of HDMI and Dolby. Such testing provides some assurance that the certified product of one supplier interoperates with the certified product of other suppliers. This approach is helping to deliver the promised digital dividend to the Australian viewers – interoperability and connectivity in a competitive and convergent marketplace.
