l BISS (Basic Interoperable Scrambling System): is a satellite signal scrambling
system developed by the European Broadcasting Union and a consortium of
hardware manufacturers. There are two types:
o BISS-1, transmission are protected by a 12 digit hexadecimal “session key”
that is agreed by the transmitting and receiving parties prior to transmission.
The key is entered into both the encoder and decoder, this key then forms
part of the encryption of the digital TV signal and any receiver with
BISS-support with correct key will decrypt the signal.
o BISS-E (E for encrypted), is a variation where the decoder has stored one
secret BISS-key entered by for example a rights holder. This is unknown to
the user of the decoder. The user is then sent a 16-digit hexadecimal code,
which is entered as a “session key”. This session key is then mathematically
combined internally to calculate a BISS-1 key that can decrypt the signal.
o
BISS-E ID, an identification ID given prior to transmission and reception.
Area3: In this area, it is able to choose the programs that need to be descrambled and set
the CAM info. All the received signals will be listed in the “TS Source” menu. Then you can
choose the programs that you want to descramble on the program list and click the “Submit”
button to make it into effect.
l TS Source: to choose the input signal as IP output.
Usually a standard CAM can support a certain data processing unless it has
instruction for higher bit rate support. Selecting a wrong CAM output bit rate will
cause video mosaic issue because the actual processed data exceeds the CAM Max
handling capability.
