CMC Takes HITS To Multiple Conditional-Access Systems

By Todd Spangler -- Multichannel News | Mon, 26 Jul 2010

Campus TeleVideo First Operator to Deploy the System

Comcast Media Center debuted HITS Central, a centralized headend management solution that lets smaller cable operators deploy customer-premises equipment without having to run multiple conditional-access management systems.

For example, CMC recently entered into a deal with Evolution Digital LLC allowing HITS Central to support Evolution's SD and HD digital-to-analog converters as well as devices using CableCards with Conax's Digital Video Broadcast Conditional Access (DVB-CA) encryption systems.

Campus TeleVideo, which provides cable television services to college and university campuses, is the first operator to deploy HITS Central services using Evolution Digital HD DTAs with integrated Conax conditional access on its cable plant. CTV will first use the DTAs at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, N.Y.

"DTAs that can be centrally managed via HITS Central are a great solution for delivering a competitive lineup of digital television programming," CTV CEO Brian Benz said in a statement. "In addition to representing a very effective means for controlling our capital and operating expenses, the solution also addresses the security requirements of our content providers."
