Indus MKII™ – 
Transport Stream Descrambler
 
Description 
Today, most programming is encrypted using a DVB- 
compliant Conditional Access System. In many cases, these 
programs need to be descrambled for further processing, 
and preferably without going back to baseband video/audio. 
For these applications Scientific-Atlanta
â
 has developed the 
Indus MKII™ Transport Stream Descrambler, a descrambler 
capable of simultaneously descrambling selected programs 
in a transport stream to provide a 'clear' digital signal. 
 
Indus MKII Transport Stream Descrambler is fully based on 
DVB standards such as the Common Interface for CA 
applications and ASI for interoperability with other 
equipment. This member of Scientific-Atlanta's Digital 
Headend platform is the successor of the largely deployed 
Indus™ Transport Stream Descrambler. It is denser, more 
flexible and easier-to-use with its embedded HTML user 
interface. 
 
The removable Common Interface Module allows the 
operator to easily select the required CA System for Indus 
MKII Transport Stream Descrambler. Without the need for 
different product versions only changing the CI Module and 
Smart Card will do. Via the HTML user interface, the 
operator has an overview of the available services and can 
select the ones to be descrambled. After processing, the 
Indus MKII Transport Stream Descrambler outputs an MPEG-2 Transport Stream compliant with the DVB 
Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) specification containing the descrambled services. 
 
The Indus MKII Transport Stream Descrambler is fully compatible with the Galaxy™ Modular Rack System and is 
an extension to the other products for the Digital Headend, like the DVB-S (Titan MKII™), DVB-C (Spectra™) 
DVB-T (Atlas MKII™) receivers.
