The Digital Video Broadcasting Project (DVB) is an industry-led consortium of broadcasters, manufacturers, network
operators, software developers, regulatory bodies, content owners and others committed to designing global standards
for the delivery of digital television and data services. DVB fosters market driven solutions that meet the needs and
economic circumstances of broadcast industry stakeholders and consumers. DVB standards cover all aspects of digital
television from transmission through interfacing, conditional access and interactivity for digital video, audio and data.
The consortium came together in 1993 to provide global standardization, interoperability and future proof
specifications.

Introduction
The DVB Common Interface (DVB-CI) specifications CENELEC EN 50221 [1] and ETSI TS 101 699 [2] describe a
system whereby a removable Conditional Access CICAM, given the appropriate rights, unscrambles protected content
and routes it back to the Host over the same interface. These DVB Common Interface specifications were extended by
the CI Plus specification [3], developed by CI Plus™ LLP, which provides common methods (i.e. methods that are
independent of the up-stream CA system) for mutual authentication of the CICAM and Host, and link encryption over
the return interface from the CICAM to the Host. The first generation Common Interface connector was an industry
standard PCMCIA slot. The connector for the second generation Common Interface as described in the present
document is an industry standard USB Standard-A connector USB 2.0 [5] and USB 3.2 [6].
The first generation DVB-CI system defined two interfaces between the CICAM and the Host: a command interface,
and a Transport Stream interface.

Figure 1: Transport Stream interface layers

Figure 2: Command Interface layers
The USB makes use of so-called endpoints for all data transfers. Generally, these endpoints are uni-directional (i.e. they
can either send or receive data, but not both). The only exception is the special, bi-directional endpoint zero which is
used for discovery and control of USB devices. As shown in figure 3, the present document makes use of USB endpoint
zero and of six further USB endpoints in each device. Since USB endpoints are implemented in the hardware of USB
chipsets, they are a scarce resource and keeping their number to a minimum is important.

1 Scope
The present document defines USB physical, link and transport layers for the DVB Common Interface to replace the PC
Card interface defined in CENELEC EN 50221 [1]. The present document also profiles and extends the application
layer defined in CENELEC EN 50221 [1], ETSI TS 101 699 [2] and CI Plus specification [3] to cater for the use over
USB.

4 Mechanical and electrical characteristics
4.1 Mechanical characteristics
4.1.1 Connector
The CICAM shall have a USB 2.0 Standard-A plug as defined in clause 6.5.4 of USB 2.0 [5], or a USB 3.1 Standard-A
plug as defined in clause 5.3.1 of USB 3.2 [6].
NOTE: The compatibility between USB 2.0 and USB 3.1 plugs and receptacles is described in clause 5.2.1 of
USB 3.2 [6].
Since the Standard-A is the most widespread USB connector type, and as it is interoperable between all versions of
USB up to and including 3.1 (the latest version as of this writing), it is expected that future versions of USB retain
interoperability with this connector type.
4.1.2 Mechanical properties
To be able to be plugged directly into a Host, a CICAM shall not exceed the size limits defined in table 1. These limits
do not include the USB Standard-A plug [5] and USB 3.2 [6]. If a CICAM is designed to not be directly plugged into a
Host (e.g. by using a flying lead), it may exceed these size limits. A Host shall provide at least one USB Standard-A
receptacle with appropriate spacing to accommodate a CICAM up to the size limits given in table 1. The USB Standard-
A plug [5] and USB 3.2 [6] shall be located as shown in figure 4. The plug shall be centred relative to dimension W.

Figure 4: Application of CICAM size limits
NOTE: Specification for flying lead can be found in USB 2.0 [5], clause 6.3 and following and in USB 3.2 [6],
clause 5.4 and following.
4.2 Electrical characteristics
The CICAM shall work within the electrical characteristics defined in USB 2.0 [5] or USB 3.2 [6].
A Host which implements one or more USB 2.0 slots with the mechanical characteristics defined in clause 4.1.2, shall
allow for high-power bus-powered functions as defined in clause 7.2.1 of USB 2.0 [5] on these ports.
NOTE 1: Such devices draw no more than 100 mA upon power-up and may draw up to 500 mA after being
configured.
A Host which implements one or more USB 3.1 slots with the mechanical characteristics defined in clause 4.1.2, shall
allow for high-power bus-powered functions as defined in clause 11.4.1 of USB 3.2 [6] on these ports.
NOTE 2: The amount of current draw for Enhanced SuperSpeed devices is increased to 150 mA for low-power
devices and 900 mA for high-power devices when operating at Gen X speed.
5 Module discovery and capabilities description
5.1 General
For describing the CICAM during bus enumeration, the following rules shall apply:
a) In the device descriptor, the CICAM shall report a device Class code of 0xEF, SubClass 0x02, and
DeviceProtocol 0x01 to indicate a multi-interface function class, for which the information is given in the
Interface Association Descriptor.
b) In each configuration offered by the CICAM which support DVB-CI function, there shall be exactly one
Interface Association Descriptor (IAD) for the DVB-CI function.
NOTE: This does not preclude the presence of further IADs for other functions the device may be offering such
as for example mass storage.

(miscellaneous class), and SubClass code of 0x07. The CICAM shall report a Protocol code of 0x01 on the
Command interface and 0x02 on the Media interface. The Function string shall be set to "DVB Common
Interface".
d) In the Interface Descriptor for the Command Interface (see clause 6) referenced by the IAD for the DVB-CI
function, the CICAM shall report a Class code of 0xEF (Miscellaneous device class), and the SubClass and
Protocol codes assigned to DVB Common Interface by the USB-IF [i.4] for this interface. The Interface string
shall be set to "DVB-CI Command Interface".
e) If the CICAM implements the Media Interface (see clause 7), the CICAM shall report a Class code of 0xEF
