Main CAM window

In this window you will see the CAM "working". You connect or disconnect the CAM, connect or disconnect the EMM processing and see the whole information sent to the card and its answer.
You can click in the "Click Info" texts to display the PMT info (summary) and the CAT info.
If the EPG button is green you can access, pressing it, to a MediHighWay EPG reader.

Smart CARD window (General)

You will see your smart card information, ATR, version, system and serial number. If you active the "Send to the card INS for your serial number" the received INS for your card targetted using your unique serial number will be sent to the card and logged, otherwise they will only be logged. You can uncheck it to run PMCAM as a "blocker".

In the other tabs you will see each provider in the card, its name and identifier. Pressing in any of them information about that provider will be displayed.

Smart CARD window (Provider)

You will see the selected provider public information provided by the card while the card boot up. If you check the "Send to the card the INS for this provider" EMM instructions for this provider will be sent to the card if they are targetted to your "user identification group", if the instruction is targetted using your serial number the option in the "General" section must be checked too to allow PMCAM to send this instructions.
Checking the "Record each INS to file" will record each instruction (sent or not) to a file in the current folder which name is generated using your PPUA and the provider identification.

Phoenix configuration

Select the COM port which have a phoenix interface attached. You can close the COM port, reset the card again (for a card change in example) or directly sent instructions to the card. The "reset" button in the "Direct talk to card" section only gets the ATR, without performing a whole card boot up. The "direct talk to card" feature does not takes care about other instructions sent by the CAM, this means that if you try to send an instruction while other is being processed the result is impredictible; is recommended to disconnect the CAM to use the "Direct talk to card" feature.

Advanced logger

This feature allows you to get a lot of different logs in your harddisk. You can capture in different formats:

Binary Stream
Data is stored as it is provided by the MultiDec API.

Binary Tables
Data is stored in tables following the DVB standard which the first byte is the TableID and the next 2 bytes are 3 bits reserved and 13 bits the table length. This is the recommended mode for SECA logs in binary format.

Text Tables
Data is stored in tables following the DVB standard but in hexadecimal formato for easy human reading.

Text SECA
The same as "Text Tables" but data has been converted to SECA format.

Text SECA With ID
The same as "Text SECA" but data is prepended by the card identification, serial number or shared address.

Moreover you can add specific filters for single address or shared address using the "Add new filter" button. Remember to press the "Restart Log Engine" button when you change anything and wants to use them. Activating the logging feature automatically restarts the log engine.

MediaHighWay EPG

Allows the user to read the EPG broadcasted by most SECA systems, in a propietary format. Some providers sends a complete week schedule, others only a few days. You can change the date in the bottom combo box. Double clicking in almost any event brings up a window with a brief description about the events that starts in the selected hour and selected channel. As the window is too small to a good reading you can detach the window from the interface using the top bar and dragging it outside the main interface, now you can maximize it.

PMCAM is able to read the EPG at least in this providers:

Canal Satellite

You can export all data to the standard format XMLTV

Status window

Well, I think that the window name is self explanatory :-) You can see current active filters opened by PMCAM, the time that they are on since they has been opened, the transferred amount of data and the amount of data arrived by second from their opening.

Script engine

Since PMCAM 2.30 a script engine is included, it allows you to customize some PMCAM behaviors, send programatical sequence of instructions, answer to some states and directly communicate with the card. This script engine will be extended in future versions of PMCAM.

The script engine language is quite similar to pascal but so limited in functions and possibilities. An example script is included.

If you do not understand what the loaded script is doing and you experience problems disconect the script engine.

Media Highway Radio

This window let you access and record the music contents of Media Highway Digital Radio (Currently only working on Digital+ "Hilo Musical"). Songs are recorded in .mp2 format and cut and renamed following the information sent by the provider for that song. This feature will stop to work soon, just when the provider change the data broadcasting format when they reprogram their decoders.

This is NOT a Media Highway implementation so any important change in the original firmware will ruin this functionality.

Configuration

This window let you configure some settings without manually editing the PMCAM2.INI file.

Some settings will take effect just right after they has been selected and others will take effect after you press the "Save Now" button.
