Professional descrambler and (software based) bulk descrambler

Appear TV’s high performance multi-service descramblers maximize receiver utilization and simplify system design and deployment. Appear TV provides two types of descramblers: one that is CAM-based (DVB-Common Interface) and another for bulk descrambling. The DVB-CI based descramblers are capable of descrambling up to 10 DVB scrambled services per CAM.

The bulk descrambler, on the other hand, is aimed at software-based CA systems. It is used for the descrambling of multiple services protected by one or more CA system. The bulk descrambler is capable of descrambling up to 250 DVB or AES scrambled services.

With support for various CA systems, be it hardware-based or software-based, Appear TV’s descramblers are an efficient, space and energy saving solution.





Professional Descrambler

The SC2000/SC2100 is a compact descrambler for Professional Operators. The flexibility and compactness of the SC2000/SC2100 platform makes it an ideal solution for reception and descrambling. Services are descrambled using Common Interface where all common CA systems are supported. Each CAM slot supports descrambling of up to 10 services (assuming professional CAM and that all 10 services are taken from the same input). The descrambler module can also support AES descrambling with virtual smartcard. The descrambler can be combined with any of the available input, scrambling or output modules, enabling operators to manage services from reception to streaming from one chassis with a single user interface.
