Motorola New Addition
New additions to set-top product line underscore the Motorola commitment to all-digital broadcasting
ATLANTA, Ga. – Motorola, Inc. (expanded its all-digital cable set-top portfolio by introducing the Motorola DCT3080, a standard-definition, dual-tuner digital video recorder (DVR), and the Motorola DCC100, a slim, small-footprint set-top with built-in Follow Me TV media networking capabilities.
As the world’s leading provider of digital video solutions to the cable industry, Motorola is committed to all-digital broadcasting and the benefits it provides for both service providers and consumers. The Motorola DCT3080 and the Motorola DCC100 are both high-performance and cost-effective. Designed for the all-digital age, these set-tops will empower operators to expand their advanced service offerings and create a foundation for multimedia connectivity in the home.
These innovations will be showcased during The 2006 National Show (Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta) where Motorola is exhibiting at Stand #1537.
The new Motorola DCT3080 all-digital, standard-definition digital video recorder offers consumers a compelling reason to move to all-digital services and provides a new option for service providers looking to meet the demands of All-Digital Simulcast (ADS). Like its sister Motorola DVR set-tops, the DCT3080 can act as a hub for a whole-home media network – moving content such as recorded shows, photos, or music to other devices in the home.
The new Motorola Digital Cable Client (DCC) 100 set-top enables the Motorola Follow Me TV experience on additional screens in the home by linking to a Motorola DVR through existing in-home coaxial cable. Slightly bigger than a paperback book, the product can bring all-digital programming, interactive applications and the convenience of whole-home DVR through a simple “one-wire” connection.
Motorola’s all-digital set-top product portfolio supports a variety of different features designed to ease the transition to all-digital networks. The platform is capable of “down-converting” high-definition programming to be viewed on a screen that can only display standard-definition content. Additionally, the platform supports OCAP, and a “proxied” DOCSIS® set-top gateway (DSG) feature that can simplify an operator’s ability to administer multiple set-tops through a single cable modem.
