DTCP-1394 and DTCP-IP Technology
SeaChange is a leader in developing DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection) software – also known as 5C software. SeaChange's DTCP-1394 software is deployed in over 50% of US cable STBs and many leading brands of HDTV in the US, Japan and Korea.
DTCP IEEE-1394 is a content protection protocol used primarily to protect content as it is transported between devices over an IEEE-1394 cable. SeaChange has developed, deployed and compliance-tested this software using IEEE-1394 ICs from TI, NEC, Panasonic and other manufacturers.
SeaChange also develops DTCP software over TCP/IP – also known as DTCP-IP. SeaChange has developed and tested this software on PCs and embedded devices.
Features
- SeaChange licenses DTCP software only to companies that have signed an Adopters Agreement with DTLA (see http://www.DTLA.org). This is a pre-requisite to receiving any information and/or software about DTCP for IP or IEEE-1394.
- SeaChange's DTCP-1394 software is fully integrated with the IEEE-1394 stack, compliance tested and deployed in over 6 million CE devices worldwide.
- SeaChange's DTCP-IP has been licensed to leading STB and CE manufacturers.
FireBus (IEEE-1394) Technology
SeaChange provides the industry’s most comprehensive IEEE-1394 infrastructure for CE devices. FireBus software includes a complete set of device drivers, IEEE-1394, IEC-61883, AVC and HAVi protocols along with 5C content protection software. It also provides on-screen display protocols such as EIA-775A, AVC Panel Subunit, HAVi and CEA-931A protocols. The software is pre-integrated with popular decoders, IEEE-1394 chipsets and operating systems. It is pre-packaged into ready-to-deploy modules for DVD players, AV receivers, DTV and STB devices.
Features
- Originally developed by VividLogic, IEEE-1394-based device drivers and middleware were created for HDTV, cable and satellite STBs, DVD players, PCs, etc. on VxWorks, PSOS, Linux, Necleus, OS 20, ITRON, Windows XP and WinCE platforms
- Widely deployed by several leading brands of DTV, cable STBs, satellite STBs and DVHS manufacturers worldwide
- Compliance verified by CE manufacturers and CableLabs
- System tested, interoperable, and compliance tested by several DTV and STB manufacturers with several models of devices already in the market
- Large installed base with a history of system-level interoperability
