초록

아날로그방송 중단을 앞두고 케이블방송은 디지털 CATV로 전환하기 위해 노력 중이다. 이를 위해 케이블방송은 단순히 방송의 디지털화 뿐만 아니라, PPV(Pay Per View), PVR(Personal Video Recorder), VOD(Video On Demand) 와 같은 서비스를 가입자에게 제공하기 시작했다. 이와 같은 서비스들은 대부분 유료서비스로 가입자의 수신권한을 확인하기 위해 다양한 종류의 CAS(Conditional Access System)를 사용하고 있다. 2008년 관련법의 정비와 함께 IPTV(Internet Protocol TV) 시범서비스가 시작 되었는데, IPTV 역시 실시간 방송, VOD 서비스를 기본 서비스로 규정하고 있기 때문에 CAS의 사용이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 CATV와 IPTV에서 사용하는 수신제한시스템을 분석하고, 가입자와 방송사업자 모두에게 도움이 되는 발전방향이 무엇인지 제시하고자 한다.

With the discontinuation of analog broadcasting in 2012, the cable broadcasters are investing in the conversion to DCATV (Digital Cable TV). DCATV is providing various broadcast of high quality to audiences through paid broadcasting called PPV (Pay Per View). Such services are using various kinds of CASs (Conditional Access System) in order to verify the viewing rights of subscriber. In addition, to respond to the fast changing environment of digital broadcast, not only simple digitalization of broadcast but also services such as PVR (Personal Video Recorder) and VOD (Video On Demand) are provided to subscribers. Because these additional services have many difficult areas to cover with traditional CAS alone, a new plan has become necessary. With the improvement of related regulations in 2008, the test service of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) which is a broadcast service through the internet started. Because like DCATV, IPTV also sets the real time broadcast and the VOD service as the basic services, the use of appropriate CAS is required. In this study, the CASs for DCATV and IPTV undergo comparative analysis, and the development direction which will benefit both subscribers and broadcasting companies is suggested.
