Verschlüsselungssystem zur Verhinderung illegaler Benutzung

摘要

A scramble system can effectively prevent a scrambled broadcast from being viewed illegally. In a scramble system in which a video signal scrambled by a scrambling apparatus (10) is descrambled by a decoding apparatus (20), an identification code that specifies the decoding apparatus (20) is inserted into a vertical blanking period of the video signal supplied to the decoding apparatus (20).
