Can I decrypt or transcode the stream with SmartMEDIA?

To decrypt streams from a satellite you normally need to apply specialized hardware solutions supporting the installation of CAM modules. In a CAM module, you can insert a card similar to those used in DVB-C/DVB-S servers. There is no such functionality in SmartMEDIA.

SmartMEDIA supports transcoding of audio and video streams. To use this functionality your equipment must meet certain requirements. We support Intel CPU-based transcoding with specialized graphics accelerators that support QSV technology and NVIDIA NVENC technology. Please, see this article for more information.
