The RC flag (redistribution control), when set, tells the cable box it's
only allowed to output content to protected outputs (i.e. HDMI, firewire) in
encrypted form, and to unprotected outputs in degraded form.

The CCI info tells the receiving device how it should treat the data stream.
 Whether it should allow copies of the stream to be made, once or more, etc.
