3.4.3 The Conditional Access panel
Conditional Access is only available when a CAM
(conditional access module) is installed.
CAM status:
The icon is green when a valid CAM card is
detected in the card reader
CAM ID:
CAM card identifier
Manufacturer ID:
Identifies the manufacturer of the CAM
card currently installed
Supported CA Systems:
a list of all the encryption systems
supported by the installed CAM card.
Table:
The table at the center of the panel lists all the programs in
the current channel that are decodable using the installed
CAM card.
Note that programs may or may not be decryptable by the
current CAM, depending on the rights obtained with the
smart card or your contract with the CA or program provider
En:
Click in the box to enable decryption of the selected program.
The current video decoder selection is always selected (shown in blue)
Program Numbers:
Program identification number along with some descriptive text
CA Systems:
The CA system that is used with the associated program
CAM Interface:
The section of the panel allows the user to query the CAM card and set up its operation
Click
Activate
to start the process, and then follow the
instructions that appear in the panel.
•
Note that this portion of the interface is provided by the
CAM itself and is therefore dependant on the type of
CAM used
Service Select Mode:
[ONLY/ADD/ADD], [FIRST/MORE/LAST]
CAM TS Clock:
[10 MHz, 9 MHz, 8.33 MHz, 6.25 MHz, 5 MHz, 4.16 MHz]
The Common Interface standard calls for a 9 MHz maximum clock speed, and most CAMs will operate properly with
an 8.33 MHz clock.
•
Some older CAMs don’t quite meet the Common Interface standard, and will only operate at lower clock
speeds.
