NEC Electronics and Dwight Cavendish Systems (DCS) are pleased to announce the integration of DCS analogue copy protection into the EMMA series of devices from NEC Electronics. DCS analogue copy protection system uses patented copy protection strategies. The EMMA family of MPEG decoder products from NEC Electronics deliver digital video in a system on a chip designed for the DVB and Satellite markets, Terrestrial, Cable, and IP, including Digital Video Recorder markets. Operators now have a choice of analogue copy protection solutions, from off the shelf solutions from NEC Electronics. The first device to integrate DCS technology is the NEC Electronics EMMA2SE/P, a secure MPEG2 SD DVR device.
DCS solutions offer, for the first time, analogue copy protection with a user friendly business model: no requirement of royalties to the MPEG device manufacturer or set top box maker. Studio commitments on analogue copy protection may now be met without obstacles. Analogue copy protection may be implemented as and when required by entering into an agreement with DCS.

We have an excellent relationship with NEC Electronics and have enjoyed working with them on these implementations. They immediately understood our mission to bring flexibility, straight talking and partnership to this aspect of content protection. says Mazen Abdin, CEO of DCS Ltd., They immediately saw the benefits in terms of improved security, ease of implementation and cooperative business model. Serious Pay TV players may now obtain the security required at lower cost and greater convenience.

Analogue Copy Protection is a primordial aspect of content security, so implementing DCS will benefit our Pay TV partners, says Daniel Tanniere, General Manager Communications & Consumer Business Group at NEC Electronics Europe. We have seen a great interest in such technology, especially in the American Satellite and Cable businesses, and this interest seems to be growing rapidly in areas such as Europe and Asia too. It is a real privilege to work with DCS.
