KORTRIJK, Belgium, and ATLANTA, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific-
Atlanta's first MPEG-4 personal video recorder (PVR) for European
cable operators has been selected by ntl for the launch of its PVR
service in the United Kingdom. The new HD PVR, introduced at IBC
2005, will enable ntl to take advantage of the bandwidth
maximization and video storage benefits of MPEG-4 part 10/H.264
compression as it launches high-definition (HD) television and
personal video recorder services. Additionally, three video tuners
in the set- top will allow customers to record three shows
simultaneously. "We look forward to offering cable customers the
combination of MPEG-4 PVR and high quality Video on Demand services
in 2006," said Shai Weiss, managing director of ntl's Consumer
Products division. "We wanted to leverage both this new technology
and Scientific-Atlanta's extensive PVR experience to enable us to
deploy a first-of-its-kind MPEG-4 PVR platform for the UK cable
customers." The innovative video services featured in the
Scientific-Atlanta PVR, along with its Euro-DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem
capabilities, will make this set- top a significant addition to
ntl's triple play of digital TV, broadband Internet and telephone
services offered to cable customers. ntl, with more than 3.3
million residential customers, is the United Kingdom's largest
cable operator. Its 10,857 kilometer broadband network passes
one-third of all homes in the United Kingdom. The Explorer(R)
8450DVB(TM) HD PVR helps service providers maximize bandwidth by
supporting MPEG-4 advanced video compression decoding to enable
them to launch HD services over existing networks. The new European
set-top platform will deliver the most compact PVR
Scientific-Atlanta has created, and will have three video tuners,
be Multi- Room(TM) capable, and have USB 2.0 and Ethernet
connectivity. With a substantial 160Gb hard drive, the device will
be able to store up to 80 hours of content. "In every market where
we have helped operators launch PVR service, consumers have quickly
embraced the choice, convenience and control delivered by this
exciting technology," said George Stromeyer, vice president and
managing director at Scientific-Atlanta Europe NV. "Incorporating
three video tuners into the Explorer 8450DVB HD PVR will further
differentiate ntl's PVR offering in the market and enhance the
experience of PVR service for ntl's customers." Notes for Editors:
