Digital TV operators require a solution to inject special conditional

access messages into digital T V transport streams. Even if
separate DVB scramblers and multiplexers capable of some
transport stream manipulation are currently used, the Irdeto DVB
Streamer offers capabilities not available on other devices. These
capabilities enable operators to meet their business objectives:
- Offer an electronic program guide (EPG) to improve the
subscriber’s navigation experience.
- Update set-top boxes (STBs) to respond to security or business
requirements without service interruption.
- Protect content and enable various business models by
supporting a variety of scrambling standards.
- Support dual conditional access (CA) and mobile T V business
models with entitlement management message (EMM) extraction
and out-of-band EMM generation.
The DVB Streamer is a next-generation, intelligent head-end
processing device, and is compact and flexible to implement. It is
the ideal, value-added complement to any Irdeto CA system.

T he DVB Streamer permits streaming of DVB SI to the
multiplexer’s input for EPG playout, enabling operators to use
Irdeto PIsys’ built-in SI generator to deliver an EPG.

The DVB Streamer provides spooling and playout of
software updates from the Irdeto Code Download module to
STBs, without impacting the subscriber experience.
Tr a n s p o r t S t r e a m S c r a m b l i n g
The DVB Streamer provides AES or DVB CSA software
scrambling, and supports the ARIB and MULTI2. It can also
be used as an external software-based scrambler.
