Cisco Explorer 4640HDC and 4650HDC HighDefinition Set-Tops with Multi-Stream CableCARD
Interface
Power, flexibility, and advanced security features highlight the Cisco® Explorer®
4640HDC and 4650HDC High-Definition Set-Tops with Multi-Stream CableCARD™
(M-Card™) Interface.
The 4640HDC and 4650HDC set-tops support the tru2way™ (formerly OCAP™) and Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) mandates for separable security. The set-tops also offer MPEG-4 (H.264) high definition (HD)
and standard definition (SD) decoding with HD and SD outputs and DOCSIS® 2.0 data capability. The 4650HDC
set-top also provides analog tuning.

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
●
M-Card Interface uses a Multi-Stream CableCARD (M-Card) for separable security
●
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
the service provider network for on-demand services (optional software)

Home Networking Features
●
USB 2.0 Connection enables a host connection to peripheral devices such as navigation controllers,
network adapters, and memory media readers
●
Ethernet Connection enables a connection to the home IP LAN for advanced services such as content
sharing to the set-top from retail-purchased electronic devices
