or interactive broadcast services.

What’s Fixed in This Release? 
QAM software version 2.5.3 includes fixes for issues related to network 
communication, creating and deleting sessions, and transmitting encrypted content 
and provides the following benefits for your system: 
 
Reduces the number of instances where a QAM modulator would lose 
communication with the DNCS thereby causing disruptions to service and black 
screens on subscribers’ TVs 
 
Reduces the risk of encrypted content being broadcast in the clear 
 
Reduces the instances that required a reboot of a QAM modulator to restore and 
maintain services
