NEOTION put forward a kit dedicated to develop CI application for digital TV

NEOTION put forward turnkey sub-systems including complete schematics and production tools which are also available when industrialisation transfer has to be executed to meet domestic market constraints and very low cost requirements for capturing massive market deployment.
Thereby NEOTION provide complete development kits to guarantee the best implementation of its technology.

Developement Tools

- Development Board with full debugging capabilities & Test points
- Low cost development board for an effective software development (ARM JTAG)
- SDK Tool Kit (sources, libraries, documentations)
- Training & personalized Support
- Schematic and Gerber files can be delivered for local Core Module and Pocket Production

NEOTION CI Compliance

Actively involved in Standardization Committees (DVB group, DigiTAG, Digital TV Group, UPnP Forum, CI+ forum) NEOTION participates at worldwide standardization groups and helps to create and define future technical standards.
This active participation allows NEOTION to be upstreamed on next 10 years future technological projects.
Neotion offers to iDTV or Set Top Box manufacturers through the CI Compliance kit to access to his knowledge, his know-how, his analysis and expertise, aimed at improving the interoperability with Digital TV market players.

Which Standard do you comply with?
The Neotion CI Compliance kit is a professional tool to validate the Compliance of your iDTV or Set-Top Box (DVB-T and DVB-S) with the International DVB standard:

Common Interface specification for Conditional Access and other Digital Video Broadcasting Decoder Applications (EN 50221)

The kit guarantee the CI Compliance with CI-standardized Modules (including Neotion products range).

The kit tests the interoperability between the iDTV or Set-Top Box and Neotion CI Modules in different environments (MPEG-2 or MPEG-4, scrambled or free to air channel streams).

SDK NP4+ Kit

The NP4+ development kit is a flexible tool design to develop CI application for digital TV, such as :
- Control Access module;
- IP module : VOD, IP TV ;
- Co-processor board (core module) to enable MPEG-4 functionalities into a MPEG-2 box or DTV.

The kit consists of:

Firmware :
• Driver and library APIs with documentation ;
• FTA MPEG-4 to MPEG-2 transcoder demo application ;
• ECOS^TM OS library compiled for NP4+
Development tool chain:
• GNU ARM GCC compiler, running under Cygwin^TM or Linux^TM environment;
• CMake tool which is able to generate makefile for dedicated target;
• Insight debugger (included in the GNU ARM GCC tool chain);
• OpenOCD which is a JTAG command interpreter (used with JTAGKey^TM ICD)
• Initialization files supplied for 2 kinds of ICD debugger (Lauterbach^TM and Amontec^TM) ;
• Flasher tool (Python script).
Hardware :
• Hardware reference design (layout).
• CI development board :
• JTAG Key In Circuit Debugger (low cost ICD)
• JTAGKey^TM In Circuit Debugger (debugger bas coût)

NP4+ based module can be developed with an open development toolchain, therefore license free (already used by Neotion to develop industrial project).

All the supplied APIs are developed with Visual C++ Express 2008 Edition, free version downloadable from Microsoft^TM website. This software offers a convivial windows interface to develop an application. The compilation is done under Cygwin environment, through CMake tool that generates makefile usable by the GCC GNU ARM compiler.

The demo application and driver APIs, are developed based on an open source operating system : ECOS^TM.

The NP4+ development kit also offers a low cost debugging solution based on Open OCD and GNU Insight debugger useful for basic development, as well as another more powerful solution (Lauterbach^TM).
