Knowing Himself and Knowing Himself to See the Monitoring of China's Cable Digital TV CA System and Smart Card Q3 Market


As China’s broadcasting industry takes cable digital TV as the development focus of the entire industry, the growth rate of cable digital TV smart cards is faster, and in addition, some digital TV users will increase the number of second and third terminals, which will bring a second, The purchase of the third smart card will bring more room for market growth. In addition, with the continuous deepening of the two-way network reform, CAS development in the future will adapt to the two-way network operating environment, and operators of radio and television will pay more attention to the security performance of the two-way network.

As of the third quarter of 2014, China’s cable network operators began to uniformly use terminal equipment such as CAs and set-top boxes on the basis of provincial-based regional network integration. Provinces and cities that have unifiedly used CA systems accounted for 96.19% of the total. The provinces and cities that have not unifiedly used the CA system accounted for 3.81% of the total, of which the typical provinces are: Hebei Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Jilin Province, Hunan Province, part of the Internet company, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Shaanxi Province, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.

Figure 1: Whether Chinese Cable Network Operators Uniformly Use CA Systems

As of the third quarter of 2014, most of the cable network operators in China have chosen different brands of CA systems, and most of them have already completed bidding. Among them, the tender has been completed. In the short period of time, operators without a bidding plan accounted for 99.52% of the total market. Operators who have not built a CA system platform are relatively few, accounting for 0.48% of the total. These operators are basically characterized by small users. Similar to these smaller cities, many are currently choosing to integrate with the provincial network.

At present, the competition pattern of the domestic CA system market is relatively concentrated: Yongxin TV, Yunshi Technology (Tianbai), and digital video have entered the market earlier, and the number of smart card issuance ranks first, and the market share is relatively high. The development of other manufacturers is relatively stable. In the future, the competition in the domestic conditional access system market will further intensify, extending from the provincial and municipal levels to districts and counties, from the first terminal to the second terminal. As of the third quarter of 2014, China’s cable digital TV CA system market was mainly divided by four companies, namely Yongxin Vision, Yunshi (Tianbai), Digital Video, and Irdeto. Local CA manufacturers have occupied most of the domestic market share, including Yongxin Bo covered 67.62% of the market in China's radio and television broadcasting system, followed by Yunshi (Tianbai), which covered 33.81% of the nation's radio and television broadcasting systems, and ranked third in digital video, covering 28.1% of the country's radio and television systems. The market, ranked fourth, is Irdeto, which covers 20.95% of the nation's radio and television broadcasting systems, and other branded CA systems cover relatively low cities.

From 2011 to 2015, China's broadcast and television industry will form a three-dimensional three-dimensional coverage network of cable, terrestrial and direct broadcast satellites. CMMB will also enable broadcast and television to expand in space and time, and the broadcasting and TV industry will further welcome new opportunities for industrialization. In the next few years, the state will vigorously develop related digital television industries such as CMMB, terrestrial and direct-viewing satellites, and the corresponding number of digital TV users will also increase substantially. Coupled with the development of traditional cable digital TV users, it is expected that China’s broadcast TV will be used in the future. The industry CA system and smart card market have broad prospects.
