Conditional Access Modules

The TV viewing experience is changing with the explosion of connected consumer electronics devices. In order to remain competitive, service providers have no choice but to come up with attractive offers and various business models to meet the growing consumer’s expectations.

SmarDTV and NAGRA are helping operators to extend their offer beyond set-top boxes, enabling new business models on horizontal devices notably through the deployment of CAMs (Conditional Access Modules). Since the introduction of CI Plus, SmarDTV and NAGRA have been providing operators with a device that has become as secure and reliable as the traditional set-top boxes. It integrates NAGRA’s state-of-the-art content protection technology and can be plugged on any consumer device that includes a CI Plus interface.

By introducing CAMs into their pay-TV ecosystem, service providers are able to offer premium content direct to integrated digital televisions without any specific software integration in the host device.

Multiple content protection models

SmarDTV CAMs support multiple security models that bring NAGRA Media Access card-based or/and embedded, as well as NAGRA Media PRM to any type of network without any specific software integration in the host devices
