3.3.2.5.3 BISS Mode Selection
The options for the BISS mode are Off, Mode-0, Mode-1, Mode-E, Odd/Even-1, Odd/Even-E, User-
1 and User-E. Depending upon the selection, the available options will change
Note
All session words, injected ID and Encrypted session words cannot be read back and are not echoed
back to the display. These values are also not stored in the profiles but will be reused after a power
cycle. To comply with the specification the keys cannot be changed more than ten times in a 5-minute
period and that there is a minimum of 10 seconds between changes. The keys are transmitted in the
clear via the GUI so should be used with caution, perhaps by setting the Injected ID up only on the
front panel and never via the GUI.
3.3.2.5.4 Off
BISS is fully disabled and the transport stream will be unmodified. If BISS is subsequently enabled
then the modification in the transport stream may cause a momentary glitch in the video. It is
preferable to use BISS-0 which will modify the transport stream without encrypting the video.
3.3.2.5.5 BISS-0
The transport stream will not encrypt in this mode but is modified to add signalling about BISS. In
this mode encryption can be enabled seamlessly.
3.3.2.5.6 BISS-1
The transport stream is encrypted using the session word which is a 12 digit hex value. If the key is
not present then the last entered value will be used. This session word is independent from the
key generated when using BISS-E and will be retained.
3.3.2.5.7 BISS-E
The transport stream is encrypted by a calculated session word. This session word is generated
from an injected ID and an Encrypted session word. This is fundamentally more secure as both
the Injected ID and Encrypted session words are required for decryption and each receiver
could have a unique Encrypted session word. The Injected ID is a 14 digit Hex value and the
Encrypted Session Word (ESW) is a 16 digit hex value. If the key or the ID is not present then the
last entered values will be used.
