Scientific Atlanta annonce une nouvelle gamme de boîtiers
décodeurs pour « Connected Life »
Ces nouvelles solutions marquent le passage à la nouvelle génération de services.
Issy les Moulineaux, le 14 avril 2006 – Scientific Atlanta, une filiale de Cisco, lance sa
nouvelle gamme de boîtiers décodeurs conçus pour fournir une puissance et une flexibilité
accrues et de nouvelles solutions de sécurité avancées aux câblo-opérateurs. Ces boîtiers
décodeurs permettront aux consommateurs d’expérimenter de nouveaux services numériques
et des applications interactives avancées, grâce à l’architecture réseau de nouvelle génération
(Next Generation Network Architectures - NGNA) que les câblo-opérateurs commencent à
déployer au sein de leurs systèmes.
###
Scientific Atlanta's new set-top platform, a principal component of Cisco Connected
Home, is targeted to play a key role in supporting the introduction of CableLabs®
OpenCableTM Applications Platform (OCAPTM) and the Federal Communications
Commission's (FCC) mandate for separable security.
"In addition to providing a powerful OCAP and separable security solution, these next
generation set-tops will allow our customers the flexibility to deliver content and services
such as H.264 high-definition decoding and DOCSIS 2.0 data capability in a more efficient
manner, resulting in a more robust service offering to compete in today's dynamic market,"
said Michael Harney, president of Subscriber Network Systems, Scientific Atlanta, a Cisco
company.
Benefits of Scientific Atlanta's NGNA set-top line include:
Designed for OpenCable Application Platform (OCAP) - With faster processing
power, increased memory, and utilization of the Linux® operating system, these new set-tops
will provide the necessary speed to launch the new generation of OCAP applications quickly
and efficiently. Complementing the set-top line is Scientific Atlanta's complete OCAP
platform, which includes the company's OCAP Digital Network Control System Release 4.0
series and the OCAP AxiomTM middleware product, now testing in multiple customer labs.
Separable Security Solutions - The new line of set-tops will require the use of a MultiStream CableCARDTM to provide the conditional access portion of the cable operator's system
security. The Multi-Stream CableCARD provides the needed separable security in order to
comply with the FCC's July 1, 2007, separable security mandate. In addition, Scientific
Atlanta is using this new line of set-tops as a development platform for the upcoming
alternative separable security solution known as DCAS (Downloadable Conditional Access
System).
Advanced DOCSIS Set-Top Gateway (ADSG) - The new line of set-tops will support
CableLabs ADSG specification for transporting set-top box command and control information
over DOCSIS. The built-in DOCSIS 2.0 modem, in addition to ADSG support, will also
provide a path for Internet protocol (IP) video services to be delivered to subscribers.
Scientific Atlanta's ADSG solution thus consolidates cable modem and set-top traffic over an
open, vendor-independent DOCSIS network for integrated video, voice and data applications.
Support for Advanced Video Codecs (H.264) - Enables operators to deliver content,
including on-demand, high-definition TV (HDTV) programming and Internet video content,
with blockbuster-quality video, while utilizing bandwidth-saving lower bit rates.
Connected Home Solutions - Scientific Atlanta's NGNA set-top line will provide
processing power and connectivity to leverage future compatible connected home services
that consumers desire. As the home IP local area network (IP LAN) continues to evolve, these
new set-tops can allow the sharing of content within the home, as well as interoperability with
other compatible cable operator devices and compatible retail purchased consumer electric
devices.
Additionally, Scientific Atlanta is also introducing its Explorer® 940TM Compact Digital
Only Interactive Set-Top. As cable sites migrate toward digital simulcasting, and with the
upcoming digital broadcast network environments on the horizon, the Explorer 940 Set-Top is
a compact, cost-efficient digital only solution. The 940 enables operators to create an
"enhanced basic" service or support an introductory digital video service tier to drive
conversion of basic or expanded basic subscribers. The Explorer 940 Set-Top can also help
operators expand the number of additional cable outlets in the home, as well as increase payper-view and on-demand transactions.
Scientific Atlanta will be demonstrating its latest NGNA initiatives at NCTA 2006, The
National Show in Atlanta, Georgia, April 9-11, Booth #2251.
* Model numbers include: The 4500HDCTM High-Definition CableCARD Set-Top (HD
Set-Top) and the 8500HDCTM High-Definition Digital Video Recorder CableCARD Set-Top
(HD DVR set-top).
