U.S. market conditions for set top box

by Administrator | post a comment

U.S. market conditions for set top boxThe development of set top box (dreambox).in the United States has been 10 years of history, the United States last year shut down the analog TV signals. Now sold in the United States, all televisions with a digital TV decoder, which is what we are talking digital TV one machine. All of these received only one machine is free of terrestrial wireless digital signal. Therefore, the U.S. digital pay TV operators to achieve the business is still achieved through the set-top box. U.S. digital TV(dreambox) operators are relatively large and concentrated, more than 80% of users concentrated in a few relatively large network operators, far from Chinese operators scattered stands to reason that manufacturers say should be better integrated digital TV coordination, but in fact it is not so simple. The first is technical reasons. As you know, from the European encryption system needs a high degree of secrecy, the U.S. digital TV encryption system, and also by closed as confidential access to the European security. U.S. digital TV fee is high, to improve security all the more need to strengthen the CA interface, confidentiality, only with CA manufacturers licensed to produce the set-top box business for operators. Operating companies in using this system requires a high degree of secrecy, after CA, in order to ensure their program of security, Ye Hui Zhudongweihu has adopted CA's closed nature of the market of Ziran Chenglepaoying. Second, the United States two larger set-top box manufacturers Motorola and SA (Cisco after the acquisition) to obtain a large number of cable TV set-top box orders, the two companies to set-top box hardware encryption all the CA systems provide, for the U.S. radio and television operators to offer a package of services offered by various carriers to enhance the quality of service features is in the closed environment of development, no other company can get involved How can we allow the meat to the mouth to share? Stand operator point of view, if anyone can produce set-top boxes, program operators who ensure the safety? This must form a technical and market closed(dreambox). Therefore, there is no market for the U.S. market, (dreambox)one machine operators, mainly because the United States and European carriers adopted the technology of dreambox as a closed system.




EUROPEA DVB MARKET CONDITIONS/dreambox

EUROPEA DVB MARKET CONDITIONS/dreamboxDVB standard was born in Europe, accompanied by the promotion of DVB standards, from the CA company in Europe to the world. As the European Union countries and distributed business operations, although after years of development, the development of the European Geguo not not as uniform as the United States De stopped analog signal Shuzi TV Puji has only reached about 50% dvb and set top box dreambox. European digital television encryption system that is closed for a chaotic start, all CA companies have a certain amount of users. The larger operators also rely on digital TV set-top boxes and digital TV services presented by the set-top box dreambox to add value-added applications to attract users. Smaller set-top boxes in order to reduce the burden of operators using the program by simply selling the way business is actually buying an additional program fee of smart cards. Market operators in Europe and the United States different from Europe's population is sparse and scattered, cable operators are relatively small,dreambox satellite transmission so far is still the mainstream. The largest operator is a few hundred million, can not afford to support one machine for the market operators. Operators in Europe, scattered, chaotic encryption system a high degree of closed state, the people used to the chaos of the set-top box/dreambox, so one machine for the market operator can not exist.




JAPAN SET TOP BOX MARKET CONDITIONS

JAPAN SET TOP BOX MARKET CONDITIONSThe introduction of DVB standards in all countries, Japan is an exception. Japan in the digital before the industry associations and government through the unity of the CA interface, which in Japan is only one CA, CA myth of Europe is not confined to reproduce in Japan. As the CA unification, Japan at the beginning, when the digital set-top boxes with one machine at the same time on the market, after several years of development, gradually from the historical stage set-top boxes, digital TVs in Japan, almost all the popular one machine into the world. Japanese operators have long set-top boxes burden relieved. Japanese industry can be seen from the unity and meticulous and precise. Japan is the world's only after the introduction of DVB/DREAMBOX standard does not cause confusion in the country. No major set-top boxes, direct use of one machine universal digital television, set-top box operators without paying the cost of pay-TV services /DREAMBOX can be carried out. Perhaps the saving of resources from the Japanese point of view, without a set-top box, naturally reduces the amount of waste of resources.




the affect of Digital TV Encryption Standard closed

by Administrator | post a comment

As long as the use of a closed chaotic encryption standard,(dreambox) even the technology developed for the United States wants to achieve integration of machine operators market are also powerless. In the birthplace of the European DVB standard, too, can not survive. The confusion caused by the other copy the European DVB standard and closed CA countries. ,(dreambox) Digital television can be seen the closed chaotic encryption technology to digital TV industry how grave the harm! Those with a closed proprietary standard CA companies control the entire digital TV industry rules of the game. But their development is based on carrier market confusion, operators increased the burden of the cost. The beginning of the development of digital television ,(dreambox) is mainly from pay-TV start, so one machine digital TV market development had to rely on encryption technology. Affected by the historical conditions, from the European DVB encryption interface, not unified, open standard encryption security mainly rely on closed access. Closed the existence of multiple encryption standard set-top box caused major disruptions, have been difficult to market, then one machine will not be able to enter the market. This is one machine has long been praised in the most important reason. Even as the United States, under the guidance of the government shutting down analog signals, the U.S. markets have realized the whole machine market sales, it is difficult to correspond to the chaotic carrier market closed. On pay-TV operators to carry out, their pay-TV business can only continue to rely on set-top boxes. Clearly, the closed chaotic encryption standard allows operators to set-top box always bear this burden,(dreambox) . Conservative secret encryption interface, access to markets in the CA system can be a time when people understood that the encrypted digital television should be closed, this habit continues to this day,(dreambox) . But it is this close, in a CA company benefits, but also will limit the industry chain in a relatively small range, other CA later be difficult to participate in the competition with them. Therefore, the CA companies from Europe, with the promotion of DVB standards, nearly monopolized copy the DVB standard countries and operators. The rise of China due to CA's policy of protection, or encryption system in China is still dominated by European companies. Technical closed the first ,(dreambox) to enter the market to protect the CA, they were very small cost of the technical evolution of enormous economic benefits, but also for the later competitors put up a very high technical and market barriers to entry. The irony is that holders of these closed technique, and some are vigorously advertised their products are open, and this can not explain the technical level. Close to make digital TV technology in Europe even slow progress. The birthplace of the European DVB standard in the ASTRA satellite, and this is still a large number of analog signal TV channels: This is more than a decade in the development of digital television in Europe some weird. More than a decade, if the unity of the encrypted digital TV standards, the carrier market, driven by fear that Europe would like Japan, long the world has become one machine, it will save a lot of resources. But President encryption standard, the European CA will lose living space, is detrimental,(dreambox) to their interests. CA for the minority interests of the company, had to take technology closed. But the whole digital TV industry has paid a heavy price.,(dreambox)




the efforts of Machine Card Separation for dvb and dreambox

the efforts of Machine Card Separation for dvb and dreambox(dreamboxo)In order to proprietary closed in smart card system separate from the set-top boxes for easy set-top boxes and integrated mass production machines, "Machine Card Separation" technology came into being. In the United States called the CableCARD(dreamboxo), called the CI card in Europe, while in China is called CAM calories. In the U.S., UIM policy has a tortuous process, after years of practice finally forced to give up. Years ago, looked at a few companies set-top box (dreamboxo)to earn pours, other set-top box and TV manufacturers could not sit still. By the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) to the operator pressing a "UIM" measures, open carrier market to this market share. After a long struggle, FCC finally ordered television operators to July 1, 2007 implementation of the UIM policy. But in fact the Act does not play a role, FCC in December 25, 2009 was forced to announce CableCARD is a failure. General government sector is not willing to take the initiative to acknowledge the failure of their policies. An essay, "read from the FCC to give up CableCARD Card Separation" more in-depth explanation of this incident. However, the introduction of closed technology policy mistakes forced the FCC, machine card separation policy into a piece of paper. Closed to ensure safety and the open market for radio and television operators contradictory dilemma. Improve the quality of service based on the needs of the users is the ultimate American machine card separation is an important reason for failure. Machine Card Separation is difficult to implement, for one machine operator market, of course it is even more difficult to start. In Europe, as operators large and small, difficult to increase the variety of value-added applications, machine card separation of one machine has a small application, but not much. Set-top boxes(dreamboxo) and integrated Machine Card Separation socket is a decoration in many cases. Digital TV (dreamboxo)perators overseas competition is fierce among them racked their brains to compete for customers. Technically, "Machine Card Separation" can not meet their demand for customer service, which is the main reason one machine was out in the cold. China is about to usher in era of triple play, in open competition, who can provide the best service for our customers, who will be able to win customers. This requires an increase in the number of digital television, user-friendly application. But the machine only allows users to see a separate card is encrypted television, involving users of other applications to improve service quality is difficult to increase, more importantly, to facilitate the UIM carriers used by hackers on the CA of the crack. Can help operators for manufacturers to increase in the QOS, security risks will Dailai circumstances UIM policy everywhere in the world suffer Waterloo was not hard to understand(dreamboxo).




Open standards is one way plane for dvb/dreambox

Open standards is one way plane for dvb/dreamboxChina is the world of TV production dreambox and consumption power. High degree of marketization, in the fierce market grappled in retained several TV manufacturers all strong and healthy. China Digital TV one machine universal participation must be possible to achieve these manufacturers. But in the face of domestic closed chaotic CA, middleware systems, and some TV manufacturers and the United States was forced to use the same machine card separation measures, partly TV/dreambox manufacturers in the standard Hunluan closed state of helplessness of the election. Abundance of CA standards allow TV manufacturers to enter the market at a loss. Perhaps the national authorities have discovered the defects, it is learned in June of last year CA certificate General has stopped. April 1, the largest domestic consumption Digital TV CA certificate expires, over time,reambox there will be due more CA. This means that now is widely used in various radio and television CA systems become undocumented CA. SARFT's CA policy adjustments, also indicates that the management of the CA closed chaotic situation started to worry, this is for TV manufacturers to promote the separation of one machine card machine is full of variables. Even the technology developed, more market-oriented United States, using a closed technology standards, operators are difficult to extricate themselves from the control of the situation. Last year on December 25, FCC was forced to admit machine card separation is a failure, which allow manufacturers to rely on China's TV broadcasting market UIM into the road to becoming more complicated and confusing reambox . Actual situation and the overseas successful the case, Du Le To spread one note and planes need to first understand from Europe's DVB CA closed the Xingzhi private, government or trade association in charge reambox CAdreambox Biaozhun open and Tong Yi, which is almost to one machine only way to market. But China's CA intense competition between companies, the industry's overall sense of such unity is not difficult to expect them to form an association. Unified and open standard technologies can only count on SARFT policy-making departments to determine, or generated through market competition. However, low levels of the closed radio and television technology environment is not conducive to produce a high level of open technical standardsdreambox . From the opening point of view, domestic companies and open download-free card CA is the best option, the interface of this CA reambox is open, it is important is that it dreambox enables digital TV industry, PC-software and hardware to achieve similar separation In this sense, open-CA for the digital TV industry made a major contribution, have also been relatively strong technical force, authorized operators. TV manufacturers with an exchange of personnel, they do not have television sets that no card manufacturer modified CA mold, it is suitable for the production of one machine. But, after all, China's vast radio and television operators have extensive use of smart card CA, is still the mainstream. In addition, because most radio and television operators, technology is generally weak understanding of the non-card CA also a process. Coupled with the smart card CA strong marketing capabilities, it makes no card CA to success more difficultd reambox .
