Microchip announces that system designers using de facto industry-standard MOST technology in their automotive infotainment network can now take advantage of Microchip's extensive MOST network product portfolio to quickly bring cost-effective CI + -based pay TVs to their cars in.
The MOST cooperative has recently released the latest MOST streaming specifications, which includes support for the MOST CI + interim license agreement issued by CI Plus LLP. CI + is a technical specification that provides additional security and functionality to the proven DVB common interface standard, and now allows MOST networks to use Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP) to transmit CI + protected content. According to CI Plus, as long as the local pay TV provider supports CI + technology, CI + compatible consumer electronics devices that integrate digital TV and set-top boxes can access various pay TV services through plug-in CI + modules. .
Dan Termer, vice president of automotive information systems at Microchip, said: "We are proud to provide our customers with a complete, easy-to-use, cost-effective solution to transmit the latest CI + protected digital video in the car." This again Shows that Microchip works closely with our customers and is committed to listening to their needs. "
In the latest automotive infotainment innovations, Microchip currently offers MOST Intelligent Network Interface Controllers (INICs) that support high-quality video streams as defined by the latest MOST streaming specifications. In addition, the DTCP content protection scheme implemented in Microchip's MOST Multimedia Companion IC has been approved to transmit CI + protected content. The company said that Microchip's free DTCP software stack completes a one-stop solution for transmitting the latest digital video content in the car.
