SmarDTV Technology’s USB 2.0-based Conditional Access Module, the TV-Stick, has successfully passed the CI Plus 2.0 certification, the company has announced.
The device, which allows operators to add branding and security to a customer’s own device, is designed to offer a similar customer experience to that found on current hybrid boxes.
“With this certification, our TV-Stick is ready to help any pay-tv operator to launch the perfect own-branded hybrid TV experience at a fraction of cost, in a simpler and sustainable way. We would be pleased to demonstrate that it’s no more a dream but a reality,” said Erik Gazzoni, Direct-to-TV Product Line Director, SmarDTV Technology
The SmarDTV’s CI Plus Certified TV Stick has been launched at a time when an increasing number of TVs are CI Plus 2.0.
