Inaugurated in November 1998, Digital Television promises a sweeping(wide) revolution in home entertainment. With high definition digital pictures, multi-channel digital sound and near-perfect transmission, Digital Television will dramatically enrich the entire home entertainment experience. This fundamental change in broadcasting is the harbinger (indication) of a new generation of products and services: new television displays, new video recording formats, digital satellite, digital cable, digital terrestrial set top boxes, interactive set top boxes, new digital service applications and PC integration with home entertainment.
However, to fully realize the potential of Digital Television, the home entertainment industry must meet two important practical requirements.
First, this new world requires digital content protection to guard copyrighted works like movies from piracy. Otherwise, digital recording would enable unlimited, unauthorized, near-perfect copying that could destroy the economic foundation of the content creation
industries. Secure content protection will encourage the release of high-quality content onto digital media.
Second, consumers would benefit from a standard interface for digital transport of audio, video and control information. Tested, robust solutions are now ready to meet both of these requirements.
Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP) {— the so-called “5C” system
-}provides secure transmission of content and prevents unauthorized digital copying. And high-speed networks like the IEEE 1394 interface represent the new standard for digital inter connection.
In traditional audio/video systems the quality of the audio/video content deteriorate as the copy generations increase (1 st copy is never as good as the original, 2 nd copy is worse than the 1 st and so on). In digital systems however the nth generation of copy is as good as the original. This stresses the necessity of a robust(strong) copy protection system for digital content. The DTCP defines such a copy protection system for Digital Content.
