Description: SoftCAM for Irdeto, Seca, Viaccess, Nagra, Conax & Cryptoworks
 What is it ?
 .
 First: Most certainly it's not legal to use this software in most countries of
 the world. But probably you already know this...
 .
 SC means softcam, which means a software CAM emulation.
 The plugin captures the DVB devices in an early startup stage of VDR startup
 (before VDR itself has got access to them) and makes VDR believe that there is
 another CAM connected to the device.
 This CAM is emulated from the plugin by providing a cut-down EN50221
 interface for communication with the VDR core.
 From VDR views there is no difference between a real hardware CAM and the
 emulated CAM.
 .
 The plugin decrypts the scrambling codewords from the incomming ECM stream.
 The actual descrambling of the video stream is either done by the ECD chip on
 full-featured DVB cards or with the included FFdecsa implementation on budget
 cards.
 .
 This piece of software is originaly based on (and still contains code from)
 mgcam (a standalone CAM emulation).
 Many thanks to the (anonymous) author for his really fine piece of software :-)
