Conditional Access



CAM Emulation

You can specify if you would like DigiTV to use our own built in software CAM implementations or a specific third-party Multidec CAM.

If you are viewing SECA 2 encrypted channels, we recommend you choose our own implementation as this delivers the most stable/reliable results in our experience. It also has the advantage that it allows the decryption of multiple SECA 2 encrypted channels simultaneously.

CAM Hardware

Use this option to specify which type of smartcard reader you have installed. Choose the internal card reader if you have one of our products with an integrated card reader. Choose 'External COM Port Card Reader' if you are using our dedicated card reader product or a third party Phoenix smartcard reader/writer.

If you are using an external smartcard reader which is attached to a COM port, please use the drop down box to specify which COM port it is attached to.

Smartcard Details

This section of the dialog box details whether or not a smartcard has been detected in the smartcard reader. If a smartcard is detected as being present it will detail its serial number, expiry date, protocol and subscription service.
