Features
Network Utilization Enhancements
●
1 GHz Tuning enables cable operators to expand network bandwidth to provide additional services such
as VOD, tru2way, DOCSIS 2.0, and high-speed data
●
MPEG-4 (H.264) Decoding supports compression technology that provides better video quality at
approximately half the data rate of MPEG-2
●
DOCSIS 2.0 provides greatly increased upstream throughput for future advanced services and provides a
path for future IP video services (optional software)
OpenCable
™
and Conventional Network Support
●
PowerKEY
®
Conditional Access System secures digital services using symmetric encryption algorithm
for content protection
●
Axiom
™
Middleware supports tru2way applications such as Service Navigators, Games, and other future
tru2way applications (optional software)
●
DSG (DOCSIS Set-top Gateway) provides a powerful standard transport mechanism for command and
control signaling between the set-top and service provider network (optional software)
●
DAVIC Receiver/Transmitter allows IP-based, real-time, two-way communication between the set-top and
service provider network for on-demand services (optional software)
