CSMW

The full realization of the wide range of opportunities that have become the norm of digital television in many European countries, is possible with the help of Control System Middleware for operator functioning (CSMW). CSMW is a modern efficient complex management tool for television / radio broadcasting and additional services.

The tasks, solved by CSMW, are formed under the influence of a variety of commercial, technical, social and political factors:

Key features of the Control System Middleware are as follows:

Digital terrestrial television in Italy uses the system MHP (Multimedia Home Platform) as a platform for realization of the e-Government functions.

Japanese system of digital terrestrial television ISDB-T uses centralized CSMW for conditional access system control (BCAS), distribution of regional digital broadcasting streams and electronic program guide.

General Satellite Corporation implements CSMW into its set-top boxes for digital television (satellite, cable and terrestrial), which provides owners of GS set-top boxes with all the additional services besides having digital video & audio.
