numbers and encryption keys. This allows broadcasters to secure
transactions between the STB Smart Cards and the MPEG-2
decoders. The CX2416x also includes embedded cryptographic
technology to allow secure authentication of the STB system
software that is loaded into flash memory.
full-featured Development Platform
allows STB manufacturers to offer improvements such as faster
interactive applications loading, electronic program guide (EPG)
scrolling performance, and scalability to Linux
