Novra S300CA DVB-S2 Satellite Data Receiver

The S300CA provides all the functions and features described above in the S300D and S300V receivers, plus it adds a DVB-Compliant conditional access Common Interface (DVB-CI) slot. The inclusion of the DVB-CI slot provides a cost-effective means to provide compatibility with the vast majority of DVB conditional access systems.

The S300CA is ideally suited as a video aggregation point for your IPTV network where distribution over LAN is desired and the content is scrambled with a DVB conditional access system. The S300CA is typically deployed along side the S300V into head-end networks such as: hotel or cruise ship infotainment, IPTV service, or cable TV service head ends.
