April 30 2014 - 8:00AM
(The Cable Show – Booth #2001) – Entropic
(Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions for the
connected home, today announced it has completed the integration of
the Conax conditional access core module into its advanced line of
multimedia set-top box (STB) system-on-a-chip (SoC) products. By
incorporating the Conax technology into its SoCs, Entropic can help
prevent the illegal redistribution of premium operator content.
Entropic's ARM®-based advanced STB SoC solutions are designed
for hybrid broadcast/IP Pay-TV networks to provide security,
best-in-class integration, features, and ecosystem support required
by leading global Pay-TV operators. By embedding the Conax
conditional access core into its silicon hardware, Entropic adds an
additional layer of content security for the protection of
satellite, cable, terrestrial, IP and over-the-top (OTT) video
networks.
"We believe the most effective mechanism for securing operator
revenue while maintaining subscriber convenience is using
state of the art Conax smart card technology paired with advanced
chipsets, like those from Entropic, to ensure smart cards can be
used only with secure devices," said Hans Kwaaitaal, VP Strategic
Partner Relations, Conax. "In working with Entropic, we are able to
offer today's global operators new DVB set-top box security
solutions that will prevent the illegal viewing of their premium
content."
Available today, Entropic SoC products embedded with Conax
chipset pairing technology include the advanced single-core STB SoC
family, EN753x/EN754x/EN755x, the powerful dual-core STB SoC line,
EN757x/EN758x and Entropic's EN71xy SoC family of cost-optimized
solutions.
"Entropic is focused on upholding the highest levels of security
for any set-top device, ensuring content protection is as robust as
possible and providing the highest quality and security support
available at any given time," said Matt Rhodes, senior vice
president, Global Marketing, Entropic. "We are proud to achieve
Conax certification across our advanced STB SoC solutions, and
believe that natively embedding the Conax conditional access
pairing technology into our silicon hardware will optimize
operators' ability to secure set-top devices that can easily be
exploited in the form of card sharing, set-top box hijacking or
illegal redistribution of live and stored content."
