Gospell Conditional Access System

Security Enhanced Pay TV Solution

The GOSPELL Conditional Access System (CAS) is a security enhanced pay TV solution, and was designed to provide a completely secure media environment for operator content. It can encrypt control words and user authorization information within a stable and highly secured environment, and fully compatible with DVB Simul Crypt standard.

In order to cater to the needs of ever expanding digital television network, GOSPELL’s CAS enables TV operators to deploy a small or medium size initial deployment and to be able to expand this to a large scale deployment, regardless of if this is cable, satellite or terrestrial. Furthermore, GOSPELL’s CAS supports a number of mechanisms of content protection enabling better operator investment, such as 3DES and AES encryption algorithm, smart card & STB binding, zone control, fingerprint, dual-level encryption and smart card distribution and so on.
