The Magi 400 is a value packed workhorse for digital system operators. Its three digital tuners can be used for TV viewing, recording, DOCSIS downstream and combinations of these activities. CableCARD enables the Magi 400 to be compatible with legacy encryption, provisioning and authorization systems. The integrated DOCSIS 3.0 modem makes it an ideal device for interactive environments that becomes a cost-effective DVR equipped with a hard disk drive.
Magi 450
Magi 450 is Entone’s most advanced interactive platform for digital system operators. It incorporates a DOCSIS 3.0 modem for video over IP streaming and interactive applications. MoCA 1.1 provides in-home connectivity at speeds up to 175 Mbps. Magi 450 incorporates two digital QAM-only tuners and two multistandard tuners with ATSC, NTSC** and QAM support.
Magi 450a
