KeyFly

KeyFly is a conditional access (CA) system developed by SIDSA which is compatible with the DVB-CSA platform. The system is based on SIDSA MACtsp processors, and conditional-access modules for it can integrate the card directly into the CAM.

Overview

KeyFly is a platform for digital television. In addition to offering security as a CA system, it is a platform that allows new sources of revenues for pay-TV or free TV operators. The platform has been created to meet new requirements and challenges of digital television, going further than traditional subscription payment systems, incorporating more flexible business models with no need for permanent subscriptions, value-added services to free TV, as well as new payment techniques via mobile phones. KeyFly allows different options such as with or without smart card, CAS embedded into set-top box or into Common Interface CAMs, with or without need for subscription. KeyFly supports different methods for rights management from traditional pay-TV Systems to Free TV with new value-added services.

Subscription models

KeyFly provides for impulse-purchase of pay-per-view events or subscription periods, which can be paid for via SMS or the internet. Subscription types cover simple time-based subscriptions to renewable subscription models where the content is requested via mobile phone or internet.

  • TVE on Hispasat also use this type of encryption.
gollark: Interesting fact: Feature wise, AV1 is specifically designed for real-time applications (especially WebRTC) and higher resolutions (wider color gamuts, higher frame rates, UHD) than typical usage scenarios of the current generation (H.264) of video formats, where it is expected to achieve its biggest efficiency gains. It is therefore planned to support the color space from ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020 and up to 12 bits of precision per color component. AV1 is primarily intended for lossy encoding, although lossless compression is supported as well.
gollark: Does anyone?
gollark: It might be for Verilog.
gollark: On Macos, yes.
gollark: It *cannot* compile really fast, the compiler is a horrible assemblage of broken regices, the automatic memory management just leaks, C to V translation has not been demonstrated to work usefully.
