Model D-PCG1000 PowerKEY CAS Gateway
The Model D-PCG1000 PowerKEY®Conditional Access System Gateway (PCG)
performs real-time PowerKEY entitlement control message (ECM) generation and
distribution. The PCG operates within the DVB®Simulcrypt headend reference model.
The PCG acts as an Entitlement Control Message Generator (ECMG) that uses the
standard ECMG-to-Simulcrypt Synchronizer (SCS) interface. Optionally, the PCG can
also perform Event Information Scheduler (EIS) functions using the EIS-to-SCS interface.
By using these standard interfaces, the PCG can be integrated with headend equipment from
multiple vendors. Using the PCG allows you to run PowerKEY Conditional Access along with other
conditional access systems in a mixed environment.
The Digital Network Control System (DNCS) configures the PCG and manages sessions on the
PCG in much the same way as on QAM devices. However, unlike the QAM devices, a single PCG
device can provide ECM generation for 1000 digital broadcast sessions.
The PCG is a PC-based product (preloaded with Red Hat Linux OS.) A 1U rack-mounted PC is
used, appropriate to a cable headend environment. Two Ethernet connections are available.

Features
●Creates Integrated PowerKEY Conditional Access ECMs
●Complies with the Simulcrypt 3.0 Interface
●Supports 1000 Broadcast Sessions at a 4- to 15-second cryptocycle
●Reports all DVB ECMG-to-SCS and EIS-to-SCS errors using alarms to the DNCS. An alarm
is generated if the SCS stops requesting new ECMs
●Contains two 10/100/1000BASE-T network interfaces for remote provisioning, control,
status monitoring, and alarms
