Hello,
Is it possible to access a PC Card conforming to EN 50221 "Common Interface
Specification for Conditional Access and other Digital Video Broadcasting
Decoder Applications" standard? The card is inserted into computer's PCMCIA
slot.
A quote from the standard:
"The variant provides the following facilities:
Transport Stream Interface for MPEG-2 data consisting of an 8-bit parallel
input to the module and a separate 8-bit parallel output, together with
control signals and a byte clock.
Command Interface for command traffic between host and module consisting of
an 8-bit bi-directional data bus together with address and control signals.
Attribute Memory Interface to allow the host to read the Card Information
Structure on the module and to configure the module into its normal
operating mode."
The purpose of the access is to filter a DVB MPEG Transport Stream using
services provided by such a card.
Thanks/Mikael
