Note to the editors

SmarCAM is a module relying on the DVB Common Interface (DVB-CI) and CI Plus standards, that plugs directly in the digital TV to decrypt premium Pay-TV content. It's a non-intrusive solution, very simple to install as it does not require any new wires and is invisible once setup. It is operated directly from the TV set's remote control to maximize the ease of use, no additional remote control is required. These modules are very power-efficient, for a lower environmental impact.

CI Plus is a technical specification that adds additional security and features to the proven DVB Common Interface Standard that will allow CI Plus compatible consumer electronic devices, such as integrated Digital Televisions and Set-Top Boxes, to access a wide range of Pay-TV services via plug-in CI Plus Modules wherever the CI Plus technology is supported by the local Pay-TV Provider. More information on CI Plus (specification, implementation guideline, license agreement) is available at www.ci-plus.com.
