Conax Chipset Pairing (an additional level of protection)
Combining Conax content security together with Conax Chipset Pairing protects content from transmission through to the consumer device. Conax Chipset Pairing provides operators with full control of secure content delivery and provides necessary added-value for procuring the best content available from content providers.
Security for nVOD services
Near video on demand (nVOD), used by multi-channel broadcasters to broadcast multiple copies of a program at short time intervals, provides a high level of convenience for viewers to view a desired program at a broad selection of times. Conax provides the content protection necessary for a profitable nVOD operation, ensuring payment for content.
