Hello guy888,
After searching on the Net, Dream Multimedia seems to be the most
likely candidate as the maker of the Magic Module PCMCIA Card. I
concluded this since two distributors, Digicams-UK and Sat Europa (see
DISTRIBUTORS below), mention it:

Dream Multimedia 
http://www.dream-multimedia.nl/cat/index.php4

(I will post the contents below)

DISTRIBUTORS
(Some of these can send the product to Asian countries, where I assume
you are)

Digicams-UK mentions the Magic Module as the product of Dream
Multimedia. It can also be a possible distributor:
http://www.digicams-uk.com/prod9.htm

Here’s Cardwriter, the distributor mentioned previously, on its Magic
Module page:
http://www.cardwriter.nl/intShop/docs/magicmodule_UK.htm

http://www.synchrotech.com/products/

Finim – Distributor of Electronics Accessories (They have a USA
branch, the rest European)
http://www.finim.com/magic_cam.htm 

Goldwafers.com – Magic Module Entry

Satmania.com – Satellite television website – Products – Magic Module

PROGRAMMING

OTHER MODULES LIKE THE MAGIC MODULE 

Sat Europa – Techni Digital World – list of Common Interface Modules
(CAMS)
http://www.sateuropa.co.uk/overview.asp?catid=1&subcat=6
- These look like other products similar to the Magic Module. 

Gadgets UK – Common Interface CAMs 
http://www.gadgetsuk.esmartweb.com/cams.html

I could not determine which of the products here are Asian or
Asian-made products. I suppose you could try looking for “common
interface modules” plus “PCMCIA” in Google. I hope this page gives you
a good idea on what you are looking for.


THE OTHER MAGIC MODULE 

ELK-MM443 Magic Module Programmable controller 
http://www.elkproducts.com/products/elk-mm443.htm  
- I know this is a different Magic Module. It came up in the search. 


My Google search strategy:
Magic Module (PCMCIA) – I clicked on “English results only”
dream multimedia
pcmcia program(ming) card
pcmcia decoder
official dream multimedia magic module
common interface CAM


Thank you for the interesting question and I hope I have helped you.
Even I’m wondering now whether this sort of product will be available
in Asia myself.

Hi, guy888. Sorry for the wild goose chase. I was wondering if you
could find the product yourself. Anyhow, since you asked, I’ll help
you again.

It appears that the Magic Module is itself made in Europe only, at the
factory address above. However, I have looked for similar products in
Asia. The complete name for this type of product would be the “common
interface conditional access module” (CI CAM). I found a few companies
with offices in Singapore and Asia.

Hauppage Digital Asia Pte Ltd. - WiNTV DVB-S Optional Modules
http://www.hauppauge.com.sg/pc/digital/dvbs_cicam.htm
- This is a manufacturer that makes DVB products, though I’m not sure
if they make CAM modules. The CAM module is mentioned at the bottom of
the page. Here is their contact info.

Hauppauge Digital Asia Pte Ltd 
1093 Lower Delta Road #04-05 
Tiong Bahru Industrial Estate 
Singapore 169204 
Tel: +65 2769163 
Fax: +65 2769167 
sales@hauppauge.com.sg 
support@hauppauge.com.sg

SCM Microsystems appears to be another manufacturer of Common
Interface modules with distributors in Asia. This might be the
manufacturer you were told about.
http://www.scmmicro.com/products_overview.html

SCM DVB Viaccess information.
http://www.scmmicro.com/dvb/viaccess.html

Other products mentioned are the Irdeto and CIMax, and there are other
CI CAMs. Below, I’ll list contact info for Asian offices.

SCM Microsystems, Asia Pte Ltd.

Fax: +81-3 3511 8516

Here a supplier in Singapore, AJVW Limited, though I didn’t see any CI
CAMS here. But they might have related references:
http://www.ajvw.com.sg/new/wintv_dvbs.htm

AJVW Distribution (S) Private Limited
No. 1 Rochor Canel Road #03-06 Sim Lim Square
Singapore 188504
Telephone : (65) 6336 3227  Facsimile : (65) 6336 9628

These are the closest finds so far to your requirement. Nothing in my
searches definitely say if there a purely Asian CI CAM product. You
might to inquire at these companies I listed and get leads from them.
If there is such a manufacturer of modules, they might not have a
presence on the Internet, but maybe these companies I mentioned might
know about them. If there’s anything else I find, I’ll post more.

Search strategy:
common interface cam asia/singapore
conditional access module asia/singapore/sales
conditional access module pcmcia
ci cam pcmcia asia
common interface conditional access module pcmcia asia

I hope this will work for you.
