Nagra Broadcast
Access to valuable content needs to be controlled by the pay-TV service provider, both to secure revenues from subscribers, and to protect the content owner’s material from illegal copying and distribution. This is particularly challenging in broadcast environments, satellite, terrestrial or cable, when there is no reliable return channel.
To address these needs, NAGRA offers an integrated solution especially tailored for broadcast pay TV operators. It relies on NAGRA Media Access CLK, a smartcard based conditional access system that offers the highest level of security to protect premium content. The service management and delivery system to process signaling is enabled through NAGRA Media Broadcast Service Platform (BSP).
