The introduction of the CI Plus 2.0 USB CAM by Irdeto represents a major achievement, extending the availability of CI Plus technology beyond its initial European and African markets to Asia for the first time.
AMSTERDAM, Dec 15 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Irdeto, the world leader in digital platform cybersecurity, is proud to announce the commercial launch of its CI Plus 2.0 USB Conditional Access Module (CI Plus 2.0 USB CAM) in partnership with Skardin, a renowned consumer electronics manufacturing company with a 40-year legacy in delivering set-top box and broadband industry solutions. Irdeto's launch of the CI Plus 2.0 USB CAM marks a significant milestone, making CI Plus technology, once offered only across the Europe and Africa region, now available across the globe.Irdeto's CI Plus 2.0 USB CAM is built on the proven CI Plus 1.4 solution, offering all the mandatory features of the 1.4 specification. It goes a step further by adding Enhanced Content Protection (ECP) support, specifically designed for safeguarding UHD content in accordance with the MovieLabs specification. CAMs also do not create legacy, as they are codec and resolution agnostic, enabling pay-TV operators to introduce new compression techniques and higher resolution broadcasts such as UHD without the need to replace CAMs.
One of the remarkable innovations that CI Plus 2.0 brings to the table is a new form factor, replacing the traditional PCMCIA design. While CI Plus 1.4 relies on this legacy interface that is non-standard across TVs globally, Irdeto's CI Plus 2.0 USB CAM addresses this challenge by moving to the globally adopted USB interface.
The USB module, when inserted into a compatible TV's USB port, handles the decryption of encrypted TV signals. Users can effortlessly control channels, volume, and more via their TV remote. In addition, it is environmentally friendly and cost-effective, with power consumption up to 10 times lower than STBs. The number of components compared to PCMCIA CAMs are reduced thus decreasing their carbon footprint and electronic waste generation.
