LONDON, April 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TV Connect
2015 – Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation
leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless
communications, today announced that it is the industry's first to
receive NAGRA NOCS3 certification for HEVC and Ultra High
Definition (Ultra HD) set-top box (STB) systems-on-a-chip (SoCs).
The security architecture supports the latest in content
protection, ensuring the delivery of premium content and services
to multiple TVs and devices in the home. For more news, visit
Broadcom's Newsroom.
Broadcom has achieved NAGRA's next-generation security
certification on several chips in its HEVC-enabled device
portfolio, including the flagship BCM7445 home gateway device, the
BCM7366 direct broadcast satellite integrated receiver, and the
BCM7252S device. With NAGRA NOCS3 support, Broadcom's STB platforms
offer service providers a multi-conditional access (CA) or digital
rights management (DRM) environment that enables the delivery of
secure premium content and services to multiple screens in the
home. Integration of NOCS3 also allows operators to move security
constraints from the device to the chipset, reducing the cost and
complexity of developing secure STBs. Broadcom will demonstrate its
full line of HEVC-enabled SoCs at TV Connect in London, April 28-30,
2015.
"Broadcom first led the Ultra HD market with innovative designs
that deliver the 4K experience to viewers worldwide," said
Dan Marotta, Broadcom Executive Vice
President and General Manager, Broadband & Connectivity Group.
"As the first silicon vendor to receive NOCS3 security
certification for our portfolio of HEVC-enabled chipsets, Broadcom
will continue to work with NAGRA to provide the most advanced level
of content protection for the delivery of Ultra HD content."
"NAGRA NOCS3 technology supports our entire range of NAGRA
anyCAST CAS and DRM solutions, from our secure embedded client to
our connected CAS/DRM client, anyCAST CONNECT," said Maurice van Riek, NAGRA Senior Vice President,
Content and Asset Security. "Broadcom's implementation of
NOCS3 will ensure the highest level of security to customers
through strict compliance with emerging Ultra HD security
requirements."
NAGRA developed NOCS3 to protect service providers' investment
in consumer devices. The NAGRA Advanced Security Certification
(NASC) ensures security specifications are correctly implemented on
consumer devices such as set-top boxes. Both NASC and the
underlying NOCS are supported by content owners as key elements of
securing their content on service provider networks. NOCS is used
both by NAGRA's conditional access system (NAGRA anyCAST) and
NAGRA's digital right management system (NAGRA anyCAST PRM) to
provide an underlying "hardware root-of-trust" that underpins the
security of these solutions.
Availability
Broadcom's HEVC-enabled Ultra HD STB
solutions with NAGRA NOCS3 certification include the BCM7445,
BCM7366 and BCM7252S. The BCM7445 and BCM7366 are currently in
production and the BCM7252S is currently sampling.
