Members of the Centre for Content Protection(CCP) launched recommendations for outputs on free-to-air (FTA) receiver units at the Digital Future Seminar (DFS) Series at BroadcastAsia, held in Singapore on June 17. Protecting the Digital Video Broadcasting(DVB) Common Interface and ensuring High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) for digital display outputs, disabling analogue outputs for High Definition (HD) content and adopting the latest version of broadcast signaling for DVB were best practices recommended. Key content industry players, including HBO, Irdeto, SecureMedia, NDS and Nagravision, participated in the seminar to talk about broadcast content protection developments and the role of government. Paul Jackson, CTO of NDS, shared insights on regulatory practices for broadcasters in India. Despite the proliferation of media, a bright future was predicted for FTA television broadcasters, with well-managed and protected HD digital broadcasts. Says CCP’s Isa Seow, “The industry is set to flourish but there are challenges in ensuring the availability of high-value content in free-to-air, particularly HD content. Content protection must be in place for HD content.”
