CryptoCaster - Mobile TV Scrambler

CryptoCaster is the key element to implement Pay TV business models in Mobile TV. Integrated with CAS (Conditional Access Systems), CryptoCaster allows to scramble video/audio contents to provide content protection and to secure revenues in any Mobile TV deployments.    

CryptoCaster technology is available in 2 configurations:

• as a standalone scrambler. CryptoCaster standalone scrambler allows to scramble in real-time up to 40 TV channels
  
  or
• integrated into our Mobile TV Transcoder (TransCaster) as an option (encoding and scrambling combined into 1 unit)

Applications

• DVB-H Pay TV deployments
• Migration from existing free-to-air systems to Pay TV head end
• Conditional Access System integration
  

Features

• Scrambling of audio/video contents with ISMACryp encryption of MPEG4 AVC/H264 and HE-AAC data
• Standard DVB-Simulcrypt interface with CAS vendor systems
• Single or Multi CAS capable

Benefits

• Interoperability guaranteed with major Mobile TV CAS vendors:
  • Nagra
  • Viaccess
  • Irdeto
  • CastLabs
  • ...
• Validated for Open Security Framework (OSF)
• Validated for OMA BCAST SmartCard Profile (OMA BCAST SCP)

Benefits:

• Allows heterogenous head-end from multiple vendors (coder/video server source agnostic)
• Simplifies migration from free-to-air to scrambled DVB-H head-end
• Eases deploying head-end splitted into multiple geographical location
• Simplifies CAS integration
• Allowed complete network isolation of free-to-air and scrambled audio/video data

Features:

• Real-time scrambling of up to 40 channels
• Integration possible in 1+1 redundancy
• Scrambled/Free-to-air toggle

Integrated as a TransCaster option

Benefits:

• Reduce number of devices
• Simplify head-end network architecture

Features:

• Transparent integration into n+m TransCaster redundancy scheme

Physical Interfaces (for standalone unit)
