This is a device for watching digital TV without using an HD set-top box. To use the CAM module, you need a TV equipped with a DVB-C receiver with a built-in CI connector (CI slot) - as a rule, these are TVs older than 2012. For other TVs, an HD set-top box or interactive set-top box is suitable.

The CAM module is mounted on back panel TV into a special socket. You continue to control the TV with your usual TV remote control.

CAM MODULE SETUP

To use the cam module you need:

network connection digital television
Availability on TV:
— built-in digital tuner that receives a signal in DVB-C format;
— built-in MPEG-2/MPEG-4 decoder;
— CI (Common Interface) slots for installation CAM module.

As a rule, all TVs younger than 2013 allow you to install a cam module (for Samsung TVs - starting from 2009, Philips - from 2011). Setting up the cam module to receive signals from any digital television operators is identical, since you are not setting up the cam module, but the TV itself. Below are the cam module settings for the main brands of TVs.

Installing the CAM module

Disconnect the TV from the power supply.
Carefully insert the CAM module without the access card. Make sure the module is completely seated in the slot.
Insert the access card into the CAM module with the logo from the TV. The side of the card with the chip should face the CAM module. The edges are correct installed card access must not extend beyond the CAM module. For MTS television, the card must be activated.
Connect your TV to the network.
After turning on, information about the presence of a CAM module will appear on the TV screen.

TVs with a CI(CAM) module have gained great popularity in the video equipment market. This element allows you to watch satellite television without necessarily connecting a set-top box. Moreover, it is compatible with all operators operating in the country, including Tricolor TV. Setting up the CI module for viewing channels from Tricolor is quite within the capabilities of TV users, even those without special skills. Let us tell you how this process occurs on devices of different brands.

Some general information

The presence of a CI module on the TV makes it possible to view channels in standard quality, as well as in HD and . However, in order to access broadcasting, the item must meet the equipment requirements of the specific operator.

Required module characteristics

At the moment, TVs with a built-in receiver are compatible only with the Tricolor satellite Eutelsat W4 (new name - Eutelsat 36A/36B). The device finds the satellite signal automatically. There is no need to separately set Tricolor TV tuning frequencies for the CI module.

Important! If in the subscriber’s region another Tricolor TV satellite is responsible for signal transmission, you will not be able to use the module.

In addition, it is necessary that the television receiver supports the following broadcast formats:

DVB-S2;
HEVC;
4K UHD.

Without this, the subscriber will not be able to view even the channels included in standard packages. Ultra HD format will also not be available.

Important! Before setting up the module on Tricolor TV, you must purchase a smart card from the operator that corresponds to the subscriber’s region of residence and connect it to the device.

Instructions for setting operating parameters

The algorithm for setting up the CAM module will depend on specific model TV. We recommend that you carefully study the instructions included with the device before starting the process. This article provides only general information. Setting up the CI Tricolor module on a TV from Samsung, Sony, Philips and other models always ends with the procedure for updating the activation keys. You can submit an update request at personal account on the company website.

Important! If you didn’t succeed in broadcasting the first time, we recommend rolling back the receiver settings to the factory level, and only then resuming attempts.

Working with Samsung TVs

For subscribers of the Tricolor operator, setting up the CI module on a Samsung TV begins with the “Satellite channel settings” section in the device menu. In this section you need to find the mark installed on the active satellite. Then scroll through the list of signal sources to the end and check the box next to User Sat1. This is necessary for the module to communicate with the Tricolor satellite. Next, go to the section for setting LNB parameters, where you change the lower frequency limit. It should be the same as the top one.

Then go to the “Broadcast” section, where the following actions are performed:

go to the “Channel settings” subsection;
select manual mode;
find User Sat1, which was installed at the beginning of the settings;
in the “Transponder” line, select “Create”;
set frequencies and transmission speeds;
save the entered settings.

After this, you need to click “Search”, check the signal level, and then start the search again. A list of television channels consisting of at least 6 items should appear on the screen.

To connect all other channels from the available subscriptions, you should return to the “Transponder” menu item, start a network search and click on “Search” again. The module will independently scan the available frequencies and display the satellite TV interface to the subscriber.

Working with Philips TVs

Setting up the CI Tricolor module on a Philips TV is complicated by the fact that these companies do not have a cooperation agreement. Philipps does not implement Tricolor software into its TVs; therefore, the CAM module of the device cannot automatically recognize the required frequencies. To help him with this, the following actions will be required:

In the TV menu, select “Installation” -> “Search for satellite”;
activate the “Reinstall channels” item;
click on the inscription “Start”;
wait until the signal level scales appear on the screen;
wait until the signal scales are displayed on the screen;
Click on the “Back” arrow to return to the main menu.

The “Set” button should not be pressed yet, so that the set parameters do not change to the default values. Next step: go again to the “Installation” section, then “Satellite Settings”, from there to “Channel Installation” and select manual mode.

Important! The LNB column must contain the Tricolor satellite found by the module at the previous stage. If it is not specified, you should roll back the settings and perform the operations described above again.

How to fill out the remaining fields:

transmission speed – 27500;
polarization – horizontal;
frequencies - in accordance with the equipment.

After this, you need to click “Search”, wait for the table to appear on the screen, and save it.

Setting up the CI Tricolor module on a Sony TV

TVs of this model can also be used through the “Settings” menu item. It sequentially selects:

item “Digital configuration”;
sub-item “Satellite auto-tuning”;
“Antenna Configuration” window (check here “Fixed antenna or DiSEqC”.

The parameters set in the scanning window are left unchanged. Next, select the first satellite and set the LNB configuration for it. The frequency range values are set depending on the antenna model. The necessary data is written in its instructions or on the converter body.

Then they return to the list of satellites and click “Start”. The CAM module will begin searching for available TV channels. The subscriber will only have to save the displayed list at the end of the procedure.

Working with LG TV

On devices of this brand, first of all, you should set the following values:

antenna type – satellite;
converter type – single;
satellite name – Eutelsat 36A/36B;
converter power supply – on (then mark “LNB”);
Transponder frequency value is 12226.

Setting up the CI Tricolor module on the LG TV continues after saving these settings. The user needs to check the quality of the satellite signal. If the scale readings on the screen are less than 80%, the antenna needs to be adjusted.

If everything is in order with the signal, go to the channel settings item and set it to auto search mode. The module will display a list of available channels that need to be saved. Next, in the “Sound Options” menu section, you should set the MPEG4 mode. If you do not do this, the sound will not be in sync with the image.

At the end of the process, you need to go to the “CI Data” section and reset the device parameters to the factory level. After this, activation codes are requested and the setup is complete.

If your TV supports CAM modules, then you can watch paid satellite TV on it, such as Tricolor TV, NTV Plus, TELEKARTA, Rainbow TV, etc. You just need to purchase a smart card from the operator you need , module for this card, and insert the card with the module into the CI slot of the TV.

When choosing such a TV, the main thing is not to confuse it with DVB-T2, even if you tell the seller that you want a TV with a built-in receiver, he may sell you DVB-T2 instead of DVB-S2, and these are completely different things. Usually, by the model name you can read what type of receiver is installed on the TV. For example, at LG the letter “S” in the model name “47LM580S-ZA” indicates that the TV has a built-in DVB-S/S2 receiver.

The surest way to determine if your TV has a satellite receiver is to look at the back, where all the connectors are located, and find the “LNB IN” antenna input.

All such TVs have a “CI” slot for “CAM” modules. The “CAM” module is selected depending on the encoding in which the content is encoded, for example, if it is “Tricolor TV”, then the “DRECrypt” module is needed, preferably the latest version. There are no problems with the module; it can easily be purchased at a special store.

Brief instructions for setting up the CAM module "Tricolor TV" or "NTV PLUS" on LG TVs.

1. Install the Tricolor TV smart access card into the Tricolor TV conditional access module (CAM WEST CI+). Chip to the thick side of the module.

2. Install the conditional access module into the switched off TV.

3. Turn on the TV and look at the information about the module and access card; if there is no information or error code 17, check the installation is correct and register the equipment on the Tricolor website.

Converter power supply (LNB) - on. LNB 10750. Transponder frequency - 12226 MHz or 12111 MHz or 11881 MHz (default settings) bit rate 27500. Let's look at the signal quality.

5. Go to setting up channels and turn it on automatic search (in new generation TVs) transponder frequencies from 11881 to 12418 will be registered automatically. At the same time, it is desirable that the TV be flashed latest version Software, in this case, the Tricolor TV CI+ CAM module will work more correctly, all transponders will be up to date, and you will correctly scan the required channels.

6. If everything went well and the channels are found, go to the sound settings on the TV and set it in the " Digital TV sound settings" parameter MPEG. This is done so that the sound on the channels does not disappear during viewing. Go to the module settings CI data (CAM) orCI Options > Settings and select the item " Factory reset". Turn off the TV completely.

9. An important feature of LG TVs is the “Automatic channel updates" It must be disabled, otherwise the TV will periodically reset the channel list you have configured.Go to settings"Automatic channel update"and set the parameter:off.Now you can fully enjoy the capabilities of your TV by watching high definition channels. Enjoy watching and bright emotions!

NOTE:

Problems with sound or incorrect switching of Tricolor TV channels on the CAM module were fixed in an update to the CAM module in December 2014.

To independently update the CAM module on your TV, find the service channel for updating via Tricolor TV in the list of channels of the operator Tricolor TV - " Telemaster."Usually it goes under the number333 according to operator's list. If it is not in the list, scan the channels again.

After you switch to it, you can update the CAM of the Tricolor TV module through the TV menu CI data (CAM) or CI Options > Settings > Boot software>OK. If new software is available and you are prompted to update, click the button OK On the remote control, the software update percentage will then appear. Need to wait full load Module software from the satellite and after the update is complete, reset the module to factory settings: CI data (CAM) orCI Options > Settings > Factory Reset > OK

After the update, everything works correctly, no glitches are observed, all channels are always in place and with sound. CHECKED!

Also on the menu CI data (CAM) orCI Settings > Information > Smart Card > Providers > Tricolor TV You can view information about packages and their expiration dates.

Explanation of subscription classes:

problem with TV firmware. You need to install a new update. Two of my skis stopped working, although they worked without problems for a long time. And then one day frequency 12226 became invisible to TV. After the update everything was restored.

More recently for viewing satellite television Leading providers were required to have an additional set-top box for the TV - a digital receiver. Task of this device consists of decoding closed paid channels, access to which is available only to authorized customers in accordance with the terms of their package plan. In other words, this receiver, or as it is often called a decoder, provided uninterrupted access to all information content.

These days, the technological process is rapidly moving forward, thanks to which users of digital satellite television from leading providers (such as TV Tricolor, NTV Plus, Raduga TV, TeleKart) can enjoy watching their favorite TV programs without using a receiver. This is possible if you have a modern TV with a built-in digital tuner, as well as a special CI connector for a CAM module.

What is a CAM module?

Modern TV models are equipped with built-in digital TV tuners that are capable of independently decoding closed-circuit television programs without the use of an external receiver. But in order for the built-in tuner to function, there is a mandatory requirement - the presence of a special signal matching module, that is, a CAM module.

According to the definition, a CAM module is electronic device, which is used as an adapter when decoding paid media content supplied with encryption. It can support work with one coding system or several at once. In addition, such a device has a special slot designed for a smart card, an individual access key, which is received by each subscriber of digital satellite television providers.

In turn, the smart card has a unique number and allows the service provider to control the degree of access to encrypted TV channels for each specific user.

How exactly does the conditional access module work?

In practice, everything looks simpler and clearer than in theory. Each new satellite television subscriber receives a smart card containing access keys. It looks like a simple plastic card with a small electronic chip. The card is placed in the CAM module slot, after which it is inserted into the CI connector on your TV.

As you know, any TV channels that are broadcast on your satellite TV are divided into two groups, namely:

Free (open). These are the simplest and most common channels that are always open to all users;

Paid (closing). These include the most interesting, high-quality and informative TV channels. They can be dedicated to sporting events, show the life of wild animals, or they can broadcast good domestic and foreign films, for example, in HD quality. Naturally, it makes no sense for the provider to provide them for free, so they are encrypted.

The built-in digital tuner reads access codes from your smart card and decodes all closed channels according to the conditions of your package, as a result of which you can always enjoy high-quality and interesting TV programs.

An important advantage of the built-in digital tuner and CAM module is that there is no need to use additional equipment, namely a separate external receiver in the form of a set-top box. This is very convenient, because everything you need is already on your TV. While a separate receiver takes up space, collects dust, and uses a whole bunch of wires to connect it. In turn, a TV with a conditional access module is much easier to mount on vertical surfaces, for example, on a wall. Minimum wires and maximum space saving.

What TV models are suitable for using the CAM module?

It is worth noting that not all models of television devices can be used with a conditional access module. It is important that the TV has a built-in digital TV tuner, and also supports the appropriate digital satellite television standard (for example, DVB-S or DVB-S2).

There may be a connector for a CAM module on the back of the TV, but the TV may not have a built-in DVB-S or DVB-S2 tuner, and to ensure that your TV can work with a CAM module to receive satellite TV, there must be a special one on the back of the TV threaded connector for connecting a satellite dish. If there is a connector for the CAM module but there is no threaded connector as in the photo, then your TV does not have a tuner for receiving satellite channels and, accordingly, the CAM module will not work for you!!!

In general, almost all modern TV models from popular global brands (LG, Samsung, Philips and many others) are equipped with built-in digital tuners, as well as a special CI connector designed for the CAM module. If you do not know whether your TV meets the requirements described above, you can determine this by examining specifications device or by consulting the seller.

How is the CAM module configured?

Using the conditional access module, you can configure satellite digital television channels. To do this, you just need to first make sure that the device is installed correctly and that your TV “sees” it and also reads the data from the smart card.
