B-NOVA
Professional Headend Solution
Embedded DVB Content Protection
B-Nova has the capability to protect ser-
vices with DVB scrambling. The chassis
provides DVB Simulcrypt interface to
Conditional Access systems, which allows
integration with a large variety of CA ven-
dors. The content protection has been
designed to scale to a large number of
scrambled streams with minimal system
configuration.
The actual scrambling is an integrated fea-
ture of the B-NOVA sub modules providing
scalable performance and maximum flexi-
bility of the system configuration and sup-
porting both centralized and decentralized
scrambling solutions.
Any service can be scrambled simultane-
ously with multiple CA systems. Other
advanced features include shortkey change
intervals, automatic PSI/SI table genera-
tion, detailed monitoring of the interaction
with CA systems, support of redundant
ECM generators and scheduled changes of
the content protection properties.
Management
The B-NOVA chassis has centralized man-
agement features for configuration and sta-
tus monitoring of the sub modules and
chassis as well as connection to a central-
ized Server based NIT, EPG and STB-
Management system: The Broadcast
Manager.
Management features are optimized for
typical CATV or IPTV headend operations.
There are many helpful features making
headend daily operation easy and effective.
The intuitive WEBUI is designed for easy
management, monitoring and troubleshoot-
ing. It allows the user to establish setup
quickly just by entering a few parameters,
and then let B-NOVA do the detailed config-
uration based on internal intelligence.
There is still the possibility to also adjust
the detailed configuration for professional
users.
Automatic service identification and PID re-
mapping based on internal rules create
unique values for all streams. Therefore, it
is very easy to do the system-level configu-
ration.
The CLI (Command Line Interface) is help-
ful to do configuration updates in patches
and also makes it possible to manage B-
NOVA through low-speed communication
links.
Monitoring parameters and warning/alarm
messages are available using SNMP proto-
col and traps. This allows integration with
the element management system or with
higher-level management systems.
The front panel has an indicator to get a
quick overview status of B-NOVA. All sub
modules have status indicators for module
operation and interface indicators for signal
status. Indicator LED´s are helpful to locate
an interface or a module that requires
action.
