DVO (Digital Video Output) and Copy Protection

This book is a part of the project graduation to obtain a computer science engineering degree. The work is done during the period of February 2014 to June 2014. It was realized within STMicroelectronics Company and during this period we tried to be faithful to the requirements quoted in the software requirements specifications. The objective of this project was to implement solutions for the test automation of the Digital Video Output and for the Analog Copy Protection service using CRC or/and MISR. For that purpose, we were brought to the understanding of some proposed solution, to find and conceive the appropriate one, create necessary drivers and the automated test scripts and finally generate needed references for various ST platforms. Key words: Test automation, Copy Protection service, MISR, CRC, DVO, Macrovision, Digital Television, STB
