Hydra HD comes with integrated Caller ID and optional features such as an integrated ATSC/DVB-T tuner
for receiving over-the-air broadcast programming, and an integrated HomePNA interface for high-speed
broadband Internet service over existing in-home coax and phone line. It supports interoperability and IP
networking standards and protocols. Hydra HD helps protect service operators from service theft and
content piracy by providing security features such as integrated DVB/DES descrambling, conditional access
and, optionally, Macrovision’s anti-taping support.
Hydra HD supports full digital video recording capabilities, such as fast forward, rewind, and pause with an
optional internal or external SATA hard drive. This enables service operators to deliver whole-home DVR
services without having to install a set-top box at each television. Hydra HD offers a modular DVR with
storage capacity of up to one terabyte.
