| NDS' conditional access system Videoguard has been
certified by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television
in its ongoing evaluation of foreign and local conditional access
systems to ensure they meet stringent functionality requirements for
the China market.
According to a company release, NDS Beijing engineers successfully
demonstrated the advanced performance of Videoguard, passing the
test in only four days. NDS VideoGuard was granted approved foreign
conditional access status in China by SARFT in 2000, when an evaluation
was done to recommend a select number of conditional access systems
for use by provincial cable TV operators in the transition to digital.
Chongqing Broadcast and TV Network Transmission Co Ltd, a cable
television provider to 3.5 million subscribers, uses NDS VideoGuard
and a local conditional access to simulcrypt their network, says
the release.
