TELECAST ENCRYPTION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS The Telecast System is divided into (3) three groups, the Computer, Encoder and Decoder. The system offers a very secure signal by randomly time shifting the audio and randomly inverting the video. The randomness is designated by setting a pattern to follow. The system computer is used to enter the proper authorization codes for events to be shown. The Encoder generates a signal for authorization of the selected decoders, sent to the decoders before the main program is transmitted. Signal includes the Decoder Address, Key Codes, Service Codes and Program Codes; it is sent in the clear and looks like bar codes when viewed on television. The Encoder then encrypts both audio and video signals for uplink distribution. The Decoder decodes the information and processes the main program to separate audio and video outputs. The Encoder is divided into (2) two groups, the Scramble System and the Address Insertion System. The Scramble System contains the Audio Scramble Unit, Video Scramble Unit and Code Processor Unit. The Address Insertion System is comprised of the Address Insertion Unit, Address Data Control Unit and Communication Interface Unit. Both the audio and video are converted from analog to digital for scrambling and then returned to analog for distribution. The Encoder employs compensation and noise suppression circuits to prevent any transient spikes that may occur during the scrambling process.
