Sunrise CI+
New Common Interface Plus (CI+) Software Product
The new CI+ is an extension to the proven digital video broadcasting common interface standard (DVB-CI), adding additional security and features.
The CI+ Forum finalised the CI+ specification in June 2008, which allows for the secure delivery of pay-TV services to digital TV receivers such as set-top boxes, integrated digital televisions (IDTVs) and PCs. The CI specification interconnects a CAM (conditional access module) and a digital TV receiver (The "Host") so that any encryption system can be used in the receiver. CI+ strengthens the original specification to combat piracy and enforce a relationship of trust between the host and the smartcard.
Sunrise CI+ product
Ocean Blue Software has released its new Sunrise CI+ software product. The new Sunrise CI+ product enables the delivery of high value content in a secure way, adding value by enabling the branding of content, as well as assisting OEM/ODMs as they aim to reduce time-to-market. Sunrise CI+ has been developed to the CI+ forum specification.
The new Sunrise software, developed in the portable C programming language, is an extension to Ocean Blue's existing Sunrise DVB-CI software. The Sunrise DVB core software product variations include, DVB-T (terrestrial) DVB-S (satellite) and DVB-H (handheld). Sunrise software plug-ins currently include Surfsoft Freeview + PVR and Voyager MHEG-5 HD software.
Ocean Blue Software has extended its Sunrise CI+ software to encompass the following optional software functions;
-
Low Speed Communications
This resource allows the CAM to use communication channels that are available on the host. This can be used as part of a conditional access system or as an interaction channel.
-
CA PVR Resource
This resource allows the receiver to record protected content and to play it back at a later date.
-
SAS Resource
SAS is "Specific Application Support". This resource provides a communication channel between the application on the CI+ CAM and an MHP application on the receiver.
World's 1st CI+ application
Ocean Blue has developed the world's first CI+ application, in conjunction with SmarDTV. The ground-breaking application delivers advanced graphic applications inside a CAM, to run on a CI+ enabled television or set top box. The new standard paves the way for highly interactive, secure subscriber content.

CI+ Browser
Ocean Blue can also supply the Voyager MHEG-5 CI+ browser for host machines, including set top boxes & televisions.
Triton CI+ Authoring Tool
To compliment the CI+ solution, Ocean Blue also offers the Triton CI+ Authoring Tool, our visual design system. This application provides the ability to generate the CI+ applications that are embedded in a CICAM. Triton gives application authors a Windows® based IDE that enhances and speeds up the application development process.
