DCX3400

As competition in the video service industry continues to increase, cable operators require advanced technologies for delivering a superior digital viewing experience and exciting new applications. Motorola has developed a sophisticated all-digital solution with the DCX series, the next generation of Host set tops.The DCX set-tops are loaded with features for improving bandwidth efficiency, providing high-definition video with surround sound audio, and bringing on-demand and interactive services to a connected home environment.

The DCX3400 is a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) with dual 1GHz video tuners and support for both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 high definition decode.The all-digital DCX3400 includes the latest audio and video output interfaces, including HDMIand Dolby® Digital Plus audio.The optional MoCAHome Networking component enables the DCX3400-M set top to serve as a media hub for in a connected home environment. An embedded DOCSIS 2.0+ cable modem provides support for DSG and downstream channel bonding.

Bandwidth Efficiency Solutions

The DCX3400 fully supports the growing consumer demand for high-definition programming and high bandwidth advanced applications.The DCX3400 provides new methods of efficiently utilizing limited bandwidth for delivering these services. For example, the DCX3400 is capable of decoding MPEG-4 video streams, requiring significantly less bandwidth than MPEG-2 to deliver comparable quality video services. The dual 1GHz digital video tuners in the DCX3400 support future plant expansion, enabling operators to increase the number of available channels.The DCX3400 also supports Switched Digital Video (SDV) solutions, allowing service providers to maximize the use of their available bandwidth by delivering programming only to nodes where and when subscribers actively request that programming.

Watch and Record Flexibility

Consumers value the watch-and-record flexibility that a dual tuner DVR set top provides.The DCX3400 further enhances this experience with a 250GB hard drive upgrade to provide ample capacity for recording an entire household’s favorite shows.The optional integrated MoCAHome Networking component enables the DCX3400-M set top to act as a media hub for sharing content on its hard drive with other non-DVR set-tops in the home.

Remote Diagnostic Capabilities

The DCX3400 supports Motorola’s SmartStream Terminal Data Collector (STDC) service for remotely gathering important set top status and health information in a centralized server for evaluation and corrective action. STDC provides operators with the ability to isolate and troubleshoot plant issues, improve service quality, and reduce operation costs.
