CI Plus' ultra rapid take up in the Consumer Electronics Industry is undoubtedly set to shape the way Pay TV and Premium Entertainment are now massively and proactively tackling Horizontal Markets.
CI Plus mainstream Digital Receivers, being Integrated Digital TV's, Set Top Boxes or Personal Video Recorders, are selling in magnitude of millions and hereinafter shaped to accommodate essential Operators' rationales - being newer ultimate secure silicon security, manageable subscriber experience, advanced use cases perspectives – all of that at a rather low CAPEX in lines with nowadays challenges faced by the Pay TV Industry.
While tier one CE adopters have lead the original adoption process, thereafter setting CI Plus as a de facto Industry Standard, an increasingly high number of organizations are stepping in and indeed need, beyond the specification, a genuine set of tools to back-up their developments in an extensive manner.
To enable the Market, and favor the global emergence among any size Industry layers, but also to help out Operators when qualifying and labeling products, NEOTION has created an ultimate Test Tool that explores every angles of the host implementation, thus effectively checking CI Plus hosts against the specification, but also against stressing modes of operations and enhanced user experience patterns.
Beyond the Test Tool, NEOTION has also created a specific so-called "Production Line Module" that can be slotted into Hosts at manufacturing time or in warehouses to test in an ultra fast mode the proper CI Plus certificate activation and boot sequence screening.
Early Q4/2009, NEOTION will also release a pure Development Kit that shall enable R&D Teams, using an IP capable specific Neotion Module, to generate literally any CI Plus related scripts and beyond, opening up MHEG authoring tool capabilities for extended application based implementations.
