HEVC-enabled STB SoCs are Cisco VideoGuard certified
The Cisco VideoGuard security certification for Pay-TV has been awarded to Broadcom for it's set-top box (STB) HEVC 4K HD SoCs. With the HEVC-enabled devices, operators can reduce the bandwidth required for Ultra HD or traditional HD content transmission over IP, cable or satellite networks and deliver these services to more locations throughout the home.
Designed to protect media content and operator services, the VideoGuard security kernel is the latest generation of embedded security solutions from Cisco. Featuring increased levels of security, the kernel enables new digital media marketplaces with robust hardware and moving target security mechanisms. Alongside VideoGuard Conditional Access and Digital Rights Management, these mechanisms also support the ETSI TS 103 162 K-LAD which is used for DCAS and hardware key protection for third party DRMs. Broadcom has claimed to be the first chip maker to achieve the latest certification.
The 28nm HEVC-enabled STB SoCs include the BCM7252, BCM7444, BCM7445 and BCM7448.
"Broadcom is the first to achieve our highest level of video security certification," said Martin Kaufmann, Cisco Director, Consumer Device Platforms, Service Provider Video. "Operators who choose Broadcom's innovative, high-performance Ultra HD chips have the added knowledge that their platforms remain secure."
"Broadcom is at the forefront in providing the innovation required to deliver the 4K experience to consumers across the globe. By being first to achieve Cisco security certification we're offering the most advanced and hardened level of content protection for in-home delivery of Ultra HD content." said Dan Marotta, Broadcom Executive Vice President and General Manager, Broadband & Connectivity Group.
