4.3.2.1 Host player mode
This mode covers a topology in which the Host is connected to a broadband network, and handles the protocols by which the content is delivered. The Host also processes the encapsulation, or container format, for the content. The Host passes the content to the CICAM for DRM decryption. The CICAM returns the decrypted co...
