Pace’s DC700X Apache HD is a feature rich and cost-effective MPEG-4 / MPEG-2 HD set-top box.
Pace’s DC700X Apache HD set-top box introduces the latest advanced video technology in a feature rich and cost-effective MPEG-4 / MPEG-2 HD box.
The DC700X Apache’s video tuner supports MPEG-4 / MPEG-2 standard and high definition video decode. MPEG-4 video streams require significantly less bandwidth than MPEG-2 to deliver quality video services, which helps cable operators support growing consumer demand for high bandwidth HD programming.
The Apache set-top provides cable operators with two options for messaging and signaling between the box and the headend: DOCSIS signaling or legacy out of band. With the DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem, operators can enable next generation services like DSG and downstream channel bonding. Alternatively, many operators prefer to use the legacy out of band messaging system that provides a robust, secure platform for authorization entitlements, code download and billing system messages.
The Apache platform runs either native electronic program guide applications, including VOD, commonly found at today’s cable systems or next generation tru2way applications.
