IBC Expo, Amsterdam, September 6th: Conax, a leading provider of best-of-breed solutions for protecting multi-device content distribution, announced the launch of the industry’s first integrated CI+ CAM (Conditional Access Module). The benchmark solution is a partnership between Conax and SMIT the world’s largest manufacturer of conditional access modules, bundling a pre-paired Conax high security smart card chip with a proven SMIT designed CAM, for a marriage of market-leading technologies that eliminates the need for a smart card or pairing logistics. The revolutionary new solution, ideal for a secondary TV in the consumer home, is ready to use in any CI or CI+ IDTV. Samples will be available at IBC.
The new Conax integrated CI+ Module, aligned with the security provider’s strategy launched earlier this year for developing a portfolio of off-the-shelf, best-of-breed integrated partner solutions. Conax has selected the SMIT for the roll-out of the new Conax partner solution, following a comprehensive selection process.
