SES, SmaDTV ans Samsung
Demonstrate Ultra HD CAS-Protected Broadcast Service
Using DVB Standards
September 11th, 2014
SES, SmarDTV, and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd will
be demonstrating the first end-to-end encrypted Ultra HD
content – via an SES satellite to a Samsung Ultra HD TV
by using a SmarDTV CI Plus CAM module -- at the IBC 2014
in Amsterdam.
The demonstration will mark a major milestone for the
Ultra HD broadcast chain, as it is the first time that a
full 3840x2160 pixel CAS protected Ultra HD signal in
HEVC will be
decrypted by a standard SmarDTV CI Plus Module and
rendered on Samsung Ultra HD TV models. This opens the
door for pay-TV service providers to directly access the
new UHD TV Sets that are being rapidly adopted by
consumers around the world. The Ultra HD content will be
broadcast live from an SES satellite at the orbital
position of 19.2 degrees East using DVB UHD Phase 1
signaling specifications.
“Many of our pay-TV customers and numerous services
providers around the world are
interested in deploying Ultra HD and this will allow
them to jump start their activities with
minimum investments,” said Conor Ryan, Vice President of
Marketing at SmarDTV. “The
ability to use standard CI Plus CAM modules with the
latest generation of Ultra HD TVs
opens the door to rapid and cost effective UltraHD
services.”
Thomas Wrede, Vice President of Reception Systems at
SES, said, “The Ultra HD
broadcast ecosystem has been developing rapidly in the
last 18 months, with global
satellite operators such as SES playing a leading role
in readying the satellite and ground infrastructure to
support our customers with the delivery of Ultra HD
pay-TV events and services. Ultra HD will further
leverage the high quality of images delivered via
satellite.”
“Once again we can see the DVB family of specifications
enabling the market to move to
the next generation of digital broadcast. I think this
end-to-end demonstration is the clearest indication yet
that all the pieces are now in place for the new era of
Ultra HD broadcasting to begin,” commented John Adam,
Head of Business Development and Industrial Affairs at
Samsung Electronic Research Institute (UK).
