SmarDTV announced the commercial availability of a new cardless conditional access module (CAM) product embedding Conax video content protection. Both companies are owned by the Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S). The new CAM is designed to provide means for subscribers to access pay TV services by inserting the CAM in the TV.
The SmarCAM-5.0 uses a combination of hardware and software security. Conax Cardless technology utilizes a dedicated secure processor and hardware root-of-trust. It's also upgradable to the CI Plus ECP specification, designed to secure premium content on 4K/HDR. A range of colors and textures are available to provide pay TV operators and distributors with branding options for the retail market.
"SmarDTV is pleased to be the first to provide a Conax Cardless CAM - a result of close collaboration with Conax for developing an innovative new product that contributes to reducing cost without compromising on security. We are excited to bring a revolutionary CAM to the market - a more visually plug-in based on SmarDTV expertise in designing sophisticated, secure devices", said Pascal Lenoir, CEO of SmarDTV.
