ExpressPlay XCA is a cloud-based security service that frees pay-TV operators from the expensive and rigid conditional access system (CAS) approaches for protecting broadcast content.

ExpressPlay XCA enables pay-TV operators and broadcasters to deliver premium/UHD content securely to smart TVs without set-top boxes through pre-integrations into many chipsets and TV manufacturer products, thus speeding time-to-market.

This DRM-based solution protects hybrid DVB broadcast and internet TV services with a cardless and converged client security stack, preparing operators for the all-DRM future at a fraction of the cost of the legacy CAS approach.

Marlin DRM is an open-standard specification for digital rights management (DRM) that is applicable to a variety of use cases across content types, content formats, delivery mechanisms and platforms. It offers sophisticated copyrights management for playing entertainment and media content (including audio, video, ebooks, and games) distributed over mobile, broadband, and broadcast networks. Unique to Marlin is its general-purpose rights management architecture that allows for substantial flexibility and control in implementation.

Since Marlin is not a proprietary DRM, it is able to deliver content over any network or physical media. It seamlessly ports licensed content across devices and services in a consumer’s home or personal domain and supports a large and flexible set of business models for content distribution.

Intertrust, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, and Sony co-founded the Marlin DRM standard in 2005. The technology specifications and test tools that were jointly developed are freely accessible for evaluation on the Marlin DRM website.

Marlin technology is a consumer electronics and mobile friendly technology, compatible with all popular operating systems, platforms, codecs, file formats, and delivery systems. Marlin supports various content distribution models like download, progressive download, streaming, adaptive streaming, multicast and broadcast.

NAGRA CONNECT fully supports the multi-network, multi-device, multi use case reality, thereby reducing complexity and cost. It can be implemented on set-top boxes, open devices or selected Connected TVs, and also includes the ability to secure Netflix streaming to STBs. It’s approved by third-party auditors and Hollywood studios for 4K Ultra HD, and is used by some of the world’s most advanced cable, satellite and telco service providers. CONNECT is using PRM (proprietary NAGRA DRM technology) as foundation to enable any CAS and DRM originated use cases required by operators smartly and efficiently. In addition to CAS/DRM convergence, CONNECT Client is designed to fully embrace the TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) and REE (Rich Execution Environment) paradigm shift. Due to higher Security requirements of 4K/UHD, content owners and studios are now pushing CAS/DRM clients to leverage the device TEEs  and activate Secure Media Path (SMP). The fact that CAS/DRM works in TEE, provides more flexibility and openness to middleware and applications used which is key to enable richer user experiences.

IP network technology and infrastructure is evolving, as is the distribution of video. Dedicated SDI-based networks are being replaced by transmission over standard IP-based networks as high-speed IP infrastructures are becoming affordable and easily available. Broadcasters seek ways to standardize on IP networks for all video transmission, regardless of video format.

Designed for IP-centric operations:

Specifically designed for IP-centric operations, the X10 and X20 chassis has a significant video processing capacity. 10G bi-directional IP interfaces provides video firewall-grade IP security at every connection node. Capable of internal routing of up to 140G, the backplane extends Appear’s tradition of providing high capacity future-proof platforms. The chassis supports dual active backplane providing Appear TV patented lossless redundancy between modules. Service density can be defined up to 2,000 services in and out per module.

Current and future IP video standards:

The X platform supports “light” intra-codecs as well as AVC and HEVC. Option modules for receiving compressed or uncompressed video from IP or SDI (Optical and Electrical) are readily available. With backplane latency of less than 1ms, universal applicability for virtually any video application is ensured, as is the implementation of both current and future IP video standards, including VSF-TR03, VSF-TR04 and SMPTE2110.

X Platform Modules:

Hi-density, modular and hot-swappable - the X10 and X20 use the same set of modules and same software:

• Dual 10G IP IO


• DVB-S/S2X Input


• DVB-S/S2X Satellite Modulator


• 12G SDI/ASI IO


• HEVC Encoder


• HEVC Transcoder


• HEVC Decoder


• Scrambler


• Bulk Descrambler
