1.1 Introduction

The Comtech EF Data (CEFD) CMR-5950 Digicast Inline Scrambler – referred to
throughout this manual as “the IS” – receives both encrypted and non-encrypted
content over an Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) to be scrambled using the
Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) Common Scrambling Algorithm (CSA) with
support for the ETSI TS 103 197 SimulCrypt Interface.

The IS provides unparalleled price versus performance, and is the most economical
ASI to ASI CSA scrambler for use with many commercially available Conditional
Access (CA) systems and provides support for Basic Interoperable Scrambling
Systems (BISS).

• Scrambling rates as high as 60 Mbps

• Support for BISS 0/1/E operation

• Ethernet SimulCrypt Interface for interfacing to an ECMG and

EMMG

• Support for all valid PIDs in 8192 range

• MPEG-2 188/204-byte operation

• Configurable Telnet and HTTP ports for security

• Color LEDs for status monitoring and rapid fault isolation

SNMP V2 (Private and MIB II) Support (Future)

1.3 Performance

The IS provides the following performance characteristics:

Item Value

Maximum Ingress (ASI Input) 213 Mbps 188-Byte Mode

Maximum Aggregate Scrambling rate (output) 60 Mbps

Maximum Egress Rate (ASI Output) 213 Mbps 213 Mbps 188-Byte Mode

1.4 Configuration

The IS enables MPEG-2-based content (video, audio and data) to be scrambled using the
Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) Common Scrambling Algorithm (CSA) over an
Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) carrying transport streams while removing
unwanted programs.

The IS is designed for integration with any Conditional Access (CA) system supporting
an Ethernet SimulCrypt Interface. The capabilities of the IS are depicted in
