"AMSTERDAM, Sept. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SMIT, a global leader in design and development of conditional access modules (CAMs), has partnered with Viaccess-Orca (VO), a global leader in the protection and enhancement of content services, to launch a CAM fully integrated with VO’s Dynamic Sentinel Cardless solution. SMIT is the first CAM provider to achieve VO’s certification for its Dynamic Sentinel Cardless solution.

The Dynamic Sentinel Cardless CAM includes Viaccess-Orca’s latest ACS library, and is fully compatible with CI plus 1.3 standards. Fully integrated with advanced security software, embedded mechanisms with SMIT’s newest chipset SM1670, and no smartcard interface, the Dynamic Sentinel Cardless CAM ensures the security of interactive TV communications.
