CW Entropy Reduction
Enable or Disable Entropy Reduction (CSA mode only)
Once the bulk descrambler has been initialized, outgoing services can be descrambled in the same manner as the
standard CAM based solutions
–
by selecting the descrambler module to be used for descrambling in the
Service
Properties
dialog (on the output configuration page). A similar procedure is necessary for Radio and decoder
modules too.
Software version 3.38+ supports entropy reduction of the CW received by the descrambler
(CSA mode only). If the service is scrambled with a 48-bit CW, the descrambler is able to
descramble both with a 64-bit key (that is reduced to 48-bit) and 48-bit key (that remain the
same). But the user will not be able to descramble a service where the service is scrambled
with 64-bit CW, since the CW then will be reduced, and there will be a mismatch between
scrambled TS and CW. CW entropy reduction is disabled by default, and not required for
normal operation where TS scrambling and CW match.
6.3.1.1
Verimatrix ECM rating level
The Verimatrix Bulk Descrambler can stop descrambling if the ECM received has a rating level that is higher than
allowed for the descrambler.
The rating level is a value between 0-255.
