This item is new and unused.

(Nasdaq: SCMM; Prime Standard: SMY) today announced the availability of HPNX, a revolutionary new test and development platform for verifying product compliance with the CableLabs(R) OpenCable(TM) specifications. HPNX verifies conformance of digital televisions, set-top boxes and other products built to the CableLabs OpenCable specifications, which enable delivery of digital cable services and High Definition TV from the cable operator to consumer electronics devices. HPNX is based on technology licensed from Digital Keystone, and was developed in cooperation with CableLabs. SCM Microsystems will manufacture and distribute HPNX worldwide. HPNX is available for immediate delivery, with systems from $16,000, depending on volume. "HPNX helps manufacturers to rapidly design and test new consumer products that conform to the OpenCable specifications and offer the rich viewing experience of digital cable television," said Don Dulchinos, vice president of Advanced Platforms and Services and head of the OpenCable initiative at CableLabs. The OpenCable specifications were developed to serve two purposes: portability and interoperability. "Portability" means that a piece of consumer hardware, such as a set-top box, can be moved from one cable system to another, and it will still operate. "Interoperability" means that a piece of hardware made by any manufacturer will work on any cable operator's system. Compliance with the OpenCable specifications ensures that the various reception components, including set-top boxes, receivers embedded in digital television sets and removable security modules, known as PODs (Point of Deployment), will work with any conditional access encryption software, as well as with each other. "Effective testing and validation is essential to achieving the dual goals of the OpenCable initiative -- interoperability and portability," said Colas Overkott, executive vice president, Digital TV at SCM Microsystems. "HPNX directly addresses this requirement. With HPNX, operators, conditional access providers and consumer electronics companies can quickly and cost effectively develop open standards-based solutions for the fast moving U.S. digital television industry." HPNX provides a single, cost effective environment for testing cross-device integration, interoperability, and specification conformance. Suitable for all manufacturers and cable operators, HPNX enables the rapid development and validation of POD-enabled digital television decryption devices and networks at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods. Although HPNX will greatly assist manufacturers in internally testing for conformance to the OpenCable specifications, CableLabs is responsible for performing the actual OpenCable certification testing. Today CableLabs uses the HPNX tool for several portions of the OpenCable certification testing. Commented Paolo Siccardo, president and chief executive officer of Digital Keystone, "The December 2002 agreement between the consumer electronics and cable industries on a common specification for digital television receivers has opened the market for OpenCable-based products. Consumer electronics companies are making a big push to assure product availability in retail distribution and to meet anticipated consumer demand. Digital Keystone is proud to be at the forefront of digital television technology with HPNX, and excited by the opportunity to launch our solutions in partnership with SCM, a pioneer in digital television." SCM's background in Digital Television Decryption SCM pioneered removable security devices known as Conditional Access Modules for digital television broadcast decryption and to date has shipped several million modules to television operators in Europe. The Company participated in the development of the Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) and OpenCable industry standards and remains closely involved in the implementation of systems based on these standards worldwide. SCM developed the world's first OpenCable and DVB test tools and has now teamed with Digital Keystone to license and market the second generation test tool, HPNX. Benefits of HPNX HPNX offers significant time and cost savings benefits to consumer electronics manufacturers, developers of digital TV decryption technologies, and network operators. -- Consumer electronics manufacturers developing set-top boxes or digital television sets with embedded receivers can test and verify their products' ability to decrypt various conditional access encryption systems without having to purchase a dedicated cable head-end, saving millions of dollars. -- By replacing test labs with an in-house test system, HPNX allows testing and verification of receivers throughout the development process, rather than only at the end, saving time and expenses throughout the development program. -- Conditional access suppliers can utilize HPNX to verify that PODs carrying their software are compliant to OpenCable specifications and will successfully decrypt broadcast signals, independently of the network. -- Digital cable TV operators can utilize HPNX to verify that PODs and receivers are working together to provide broadcast decryption. This verification can be performed anywhere on the network, in the head-end or in a subscriber's home. HPNX Technical Information HPNX is based on a proprietary hardware interface device and an application suite running on a Windows(R) XP PC. HPNX provides complete control and full connectivity for complex OpenCable cross-device integration and verification, including reference POD and HOST behavioral models, MPEG-2 transport streaming, parsing and rendering, and bridging of the POD interface IP connection to OCAP(TM) applications and to DOCSIS(TM) modems. HPNX supports SCTE DVS234 Service Information table editing and parsing, enables automatic OpenCable HOST/POD Copy Protection certification tests, and provides a complete test results capture and analysis utility.
