Security for Advanced Digital Cable Services
Scientific Atlanta's Multi-Stream CableCARD (M-Card), when paired with digital cable-ready TV, digital set-tops, or other OpenCable host devices, provides consumers with access to advanced digital cable services that would otherwise be protected by an embedded conditional access system.
Scientific Atlanta's M-Card – qualified by CableLabs® – and latest line of CableCARD-enabled set-tops provide the features that enable secure delivery of advanced digital cable services, such as:
- Qualified by CableLabs in March 2006 – an industry first.
- Multi-stream functions.
- Decryption of premium services.
- Support from Scientific Atlanta's Digital Network Control System (DNCS).
- Backwards compatibility with current single-stream one-way televisions, and future two-way devices.
- Simultaneous decryption of up to six video streams.
